Snubs, insults, aggression and even spitting. The Canadian seems to have an increasingly worse relationship with his fans. Now he has caused trouble again in Australia.

They say that an artist owes himself to his audience. Even more so now that every blunder is immortalized because there is always a cell phone to record it. Although some seem to be above everything or not governed by the same rules as the rest. Like Justin Bieber, who at 23 years old, can boast of having broken a few records in terms of success and sales. But he is also on his way to being at the top of the list of rudeness towards his own fans.

This time it was in Melbourne, Australia, where he was on tour. A 20-year-old fan, Sabah Helal, approached him and asked to take a photo, and he replied: “You’re invading my privacy. I don’t want any photos. Look at yourself. You make me sick.” The girl later said that he had been very “rude.” But she succeeded: “I took the photo anyway, because I thought: ‘When will this happen to me again in my life?'”

But any Belieber worth his salt should be warned: Justin hates photos. “If you see me out and about, know that I’m not going to take a picture. It’s gotten to the point where I feel like a zoo animal ,” he wrote on Instagram.

King of bad manners

Sometimes, shouting his name is enough to get him angry. As happened in Norway in September. Some fans were waiting for him, they started calling him when they saw him and he told them that they “stink.” A year earlier, in the same country, he had left a concert after singing just one song because he got upset with the audience in the front row.

According to him, “they weren’t listening.” Something similar happened in Manchester, where he threw down his microphone and walked off the stage because his fans were shouting too loudly and wouldn’t let him speak between songs. He then came out again, very serious, finished the performance and said: “I will always be myself on stage.”

In Barcelona he attacked a fan who put his hand in his car when he rolled down the window. “I touched his face and he punched me,” said the boy with his lip covered in blood. In Madrid he left an interview on Los 40 Principales live. Together with a group of friends, he spat from the balcony of a Toronto hotel at the fans waiting below. He later denied it and claimed that TMZ had manipulated the images.

And his relationship with his neighbours is no better. In 2014, one of them complained about the noise Bieber was making at one of his parties. The response from the singer and his friends was to bombard his house with almost two dozen eggs.

What no one can argue with is that Bieber likes to have fun. Two days after his last incident, he rented a luxury boat and went on a short, three-hour cruise with twelve models. They were seen boarding and disembarking, but no one knows what happened inside. The girls had signed a confidentiality agreement and, of course, they had to leave their cell phones on land in case one of them committed the horrible sin of wanting to take a photo with it.
