Justin Bieber continues to make headlines, following concerns about his health and divorce rumors. The singer has also declared that he wants paparazzi behavior to stop following confrontations with photographers in Los Angeles.
Despite the uncomfortable moments, including intense ambushes by paparazzi, the musician said he is not going to leave LA, and explained his thoughts on the invasive behavior, and his commitment to staying in the city with his wife Hailey Bieber, and their baby, Jack.
Over the past few weeks, Justin has had several encounters with paparazzi, who have been increasingly aggressive in their pursuit of photos. The latest incident occurred at a coffee shop, where photographers surrounded him, and another time while he was walking to his car.
Justin took to Instagram to express his frustration, posting a video of the chaos and addressing the situation. “Everyone telling me to move from LA, U think I’m gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed?” he wrote on social media. He followed up with a video showcasing the overwhelming flash photography, adding, “This has to stop.”
Justin made it clear that his problem is not with Los Angeles, but with the relentless photographers who invade his space. "How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness?" he asked, acknowledging his desire to distance himself from the spotlight that he's a “grown adult” with a family.
“I too have been caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood. It’s embarrassing, but with that said, I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son,” he continued.
In February, his team denied rumors about his physical and mental state, calling the rumors “exhausting." In a recent encounter, the paparazzi surrounded Justin, and he initially tried to shield his face from the cameras.
“Get outta here, bro. Money, that’s all you want. You don’t care about human beings,” he told the photographers. “That’s all you care about, guys. Money. You don’t care about people.”
