On Thursday, Justin Bieber confronted a group of teens after they approached him at the Waldorf Astoria in Los Angeles. He was at the hotel when the eight teenagers, reportedly attending a bar mitzvah, filmed and laughed at the pop star in the lobby.

A TikTok video captured when he asked the group, “Is this funny to you guys? This is funny to you guys?” Although he was initially calm, Bieber became more frustrated at the group. He continued telling the teens to leave the hallway as hotel staff stepped in to escort them back to their event. According to Page Six, a witness said Beiber tried to handle the situation calmly but became more upset when they didn’t respect his privacy. Bieber’s concern allegedly stemmed from the fact that his wife, Hailey Bieber, who is heavily pregnant, was about to arrive at the hotel to meet for lunch.
The couple, who announced their pregnancy in May, eagerly anticipates their first child’s arrival. Hailey has been open about her pregnancy journey and shared images of her baby bump on social media and in recent photoshoots. Social media users reacted to the video, and some supported Justin’s reaction to being harassed and said he has endured constant harassment by fans throughout his career. “Not people being mad over justin defending himself and telling people to leave him alone??? make it make sense. those kids were already following him around outside and inside the hotel,” one fan wrote.

The Biebers, who wed in a New York City courthouse in September 2018 after a whirlwind two-month engagement, have enjoyed their journey into parenthood. In September 2019, they held a formal wedding ceremony with family and friends at the Montage Palmetto Bluff waterfront resort in South Carolina.
As they prepare to welcome their new addition, Justin clearly prioritizes privacy and protection for his family, even if it means confronting fans.
