Canadian singer Justin Bieber had a tense exchange with a paparazzo outside a Los Angeles restaurant after having breakfast with his wife, Hailey Bieber. The incident occurred at Beverly Glen Deli, where photographers had gathered to capture the couple’s outing.
As Bieber walked to his SUV, a photographer—who was not affiliated with TMZ—said, “Thank you.” The comment appeared to irritate the singer, who stopped to question the photographer’s intentions. Visibly frustrated, Bieber asked why he was being thanked and explained that he found the remark disrespectful. He urged the photographer to focus on taking pictures rather than making unnecessary comments.
The reaction was unusual for Bieber, who typically avoids confrontations with paparazzi. However, this moment highlighted his frustration with the constant media attention he and Hailey receive.
The couple’s public appearance also drew interest as they had recently been the subject of breakup rumors. Despite speculation about their relationship, they have continued making appearances together, dismissing any claims of trouble in their marriage.
Bieber, who has dealt with intense media scrutiny throughout his career, has previously expressed his discomfort with invasive paparazzi behavior. This latest encounter further reflects his ongoing struggle with maintaining privacy in the public eye.
