Justin Bieber Star Accuses Photographers of Prioritizing Profit Over Privacy

April 9, 2025: Justin Bieber recently had a heated confrontation with paparazzi in Palm Springs, California, ahead of his scheduled appearance at Coachella. The 31-year-old singer was captured on video expressing frustration towards photographers, accusing them of being solely motivated by financial gain and disregarding personal boundaries.

“You Don’t Care About People”

In the video, Bieber called out the paparazzi directly, stating, “You don’t care about people. You only care about the money.” The unexpected outburst quickly went viral, with fans weighing in on both sides of the controversy. The moment highlighted Bieber’s long-standing battle with the invasive nature of fame.

 Past Run-Ins With the Media

This is not the first time Bieber has lashed out over unwanted media attention. In February 2025, he confronted a photographer outside the Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles after a breakfast date with his wife, Hailey. When the paparazzo thanked him for the photos, Bieber snapped:
“That’s disrespectful when you thank me because I’m not asking you to be here.”

 A History of Tension

Back in 2013, during a London trip, Bieber was involved in a now-infamous incident where he was provoked by photographers and had to be held back by security after nearly getting physical. The singer has made it clear over the years that he feels his privacy is often violated beyond reason.

Signs of Deeper Struggles?

Bieber’s recent behavior has sparked concern among fans. Just weeks ago, he posted somber photos on Instagram, referencing ongoing struggles with anger. Rumors have also circulated about issues in his marriage and possible substance use—though his team continues to deny such claims.

 Hailey & Justin: Still United

Despite mounting speculation, Justin and Hailey Bieber have continued to appear together publicly, offering no indication of trouble behind the scenes. As Coachella draws near, many hope the spotlight returns to his music rather than his personal battles.
