CMU Beef Of The Week #115: Justin Bieber v impatient Beliebers

Oh, sometimes I just despair of that Justin Drew Bieber.

Having in the past had fracas with stationary glass doors, revolving glass doors, faux baby moms and one very persistent paparazzo (that last one is still ongoing, and may have potential legal ramifications for young Biebs, Justin has now turned his fury upon his very own fans.

This latest quarrel took place at a Toronto airport, where the Canadian pop teen was filmed waiting for an inbound flight bearing his girlfriend Selena Gomez. He was seen addressing angry words to a crowd of girl Beliebers (all of whom seemed only to want a photo and/or autograph), asking them: “Do I not have any rights as a human being?”

Continuing on a rhetorical tack, an aggravated Biebs questioned further, saying: “Why do you have to be so impatient? I’ve been here waiting for my girlfriend… You’re not being very respectful at all. I feel very disrespected with all you guys here. You say you’re really my fans, then why are you doing this?”

Answering back to one JB devotee who dared to mention that she’d waited hours to meet him, the singer was seen to snap: “I’ve had a long day too. You guys are in my face”.

Anyway, it was all okay in the end, because Justin – after an abrupt change of heart (ie a word with onlooking photogs and perhaps his PR entourage) – was soon back to his sociable self, repaying his fans’ patience with up-close photocalls and smiles. If he’d only done that in the first place… well, we’ll chalk it down to hormones. And that’s not me being patronising, that’s just science.

But please, don’t take my word for it. Here’s the candid airport clip in question.
