Justin Bieber went OFF on paps again!
On Thursday night while leaving Soho House in Malibu, the pop star got into it with a pack of paparazzi who were recording him as he tried to get into his car. As he neared the black van, his pal Eddie Benjamin hopped right into the vehicle. But not Justin! Holding his arm over his face, he shouted at the cameramen:
“Not me today, bro. How do you think it’s going with you in my f**king face? Get out of my f**king face!”
As his security guards demanded the paps clear the area around Justin’s car, he continued:
“Stop asking me how it’s going. Get out of here.”
The 31-year-old then told the shutterbugs that he was “not afraid to set boundaries” and reminded them they were standing on private property. That didn’t stop them from asking intrusive questions — like if he’s worried he’ll be deported amid immigration raids. Yeesh! Referencing his wife Hailey Bieber and their 9-month-old son Jack, he stressed:
“I’m a real man with a real family. And you’re really in front of my face.”
He doubled down on his desire to put up boundaries with “all” the paps starting “today,” begging:
“‘Cause I’m not to be f**ked with by any of you. Stop that s**t. You don’t get to talk to me today.”
Yet he told them they were still his “friends” — he just insisted they “don’t get to ask me questions.” But when asked why, he walked back part of his stance, noting, “You just don’t … We’re not buddies.” He then repeatedly said “no” as they went on asking questions.

As the 11-minute confrontation continued, the Canadian complained:
“I’m a father. I’m a dad, and you guys are on private property in front of my car.”
He chimed in similarly elsewhere in the rant:
“Stop provoking me. I’m a real dad, a real husband, a real man.”
When one person tried to be nice and wish Justin an early happy Father’s Day, that really pissed him off! The Holy artist spat back:
“I don’t know you. You don’t go to people you don’t know and say s**t out of nowhere with a camera in their face. It doesn’t matter if I’m a celebrity or not. It doesn’t matter if I’m a public figure.”
The paps defended themselves, arguing they were standing on the public sidewalk and had a right to try to chat with him, but the Grammy winner expressed his main frustration was that the videos would be “taken out of context,” explaining:
“You’ll take this video out of context like you always do. … You think I’m an idiot, bro.”
Exasperated, he furthered:
“I’m at my wit’s f**king end is what I am at. I’m demanding respect. You confuse my anger with disrespect. It’s anger because you’re disrespecting me. You don’t get to disrespect me and get away with it.”
He continued with his point that the vids would be taken out of context and made to show that “Justin lost his mind” — when really he’s been “provoke[d].”
“You don’t get to force questions in people’s face and take videos out of context and use it against people. That’s mean … It’s mean to provoke people.”
A cameraman then had the audacity to ask why he was so “mad” — seriously?! — and Justin replied:
“You provoke, you provoke, you provoke. You think this is a game.”
He also bashed them for having jobs that were “at the expense of another human,” adding, “Now you’re laughing ’cause you know it’s true.” Oof.
Justin urged that he wasn’t going to be “backed into a corner” as the paps stood their ground:
“Not tonight. I love my evenings, I love my wife, I love my family and you provoke me and it’s sad.”
He asked them to let him enjoy his night and “leave it at that.” Finally, the photographers started to back off — while still filming, which irritated the Baby hitmaker as he felt they were standing around him like he’s “some sort of animal.” He told ’em:
“You’re not getting it. It’s not clocking to you … I don’t give a f**k if you’re on the sidewalk. I’m a human f**king being, you’re standing around my car, at the beach! You know what I’m saying? You don’t think I’m a real f**king guy, do you? … I don’t know who the f**k’s paying you to provoke me, but I’m not the f**king one. … OK? Stop provoking me and s**t. … I’m not to be f**ked with.”
He heartbreakingly called the constant attention “heart-aching” as he made one last attempt to get them to “leave me the f**k alone.” And when they finally did, he expressed:
“OK. Thank you.”
Whoa. Justin is reportedly going through a dark time just months into fatherhood as he sparks concerns over his drug use, cryptic and worrisome behavior online, and amid divorce speculation. He’s lashed out at paps a lot over the last few months while stating that he won’t be “bullied” out of LA. The constant attention is clearly getting to him. Poor guy. It’s gotta be so tough.
