A viral paparazzi video showed Justin Bieber snapping at a photographer for thanking him while walking toward his car with Hailey Bieber. TMZ’s video showed the couple exiting the Beverly Glen Deli market when they encountered unwelcomed photographers, one of whom said to Bieber, “Thank you, JB bro.” Bieber did not echo the feeling and snapped at the paparazzo for being “disrespectful.”
In the clip, the singer immediately looked toward the photographer and frustratedly questioned, “Why do you thank me?” The individual promptly responded with a “Because you’re the best bro” slightly interrupting Bieber who continued, “Don’t thank me.” He then told the person. “It’s disrespectful when you thank me cuz I’m not asking you to be here.” Following the initial statements, the paparazzo attempted to explain that they thanked him for “everything you do for us.”
Nevertheless, Justin Bieber maintained his stance, claiming he did not want the paparazzi to be there. “So when you thank me, it’s disrespectful,” he declared before adding, “Just take your pictures and let me do my thing.” Bieber repeated how it was disrespectful when the paps thanked him, again announcing, “I don’t want you to be here.” The photographer explained that the expression was not for the pictures, but “for everything you do for us.” To this, the Grammy winner politely urged them not to thank him for everything before walking away.
