Justin Bieber had an unexpected and heated exchange with a paparazzi photographer outside a Los Angeles restaurant earlier this week, showing a rare side of the usually composed pop star.
The confrontation took place after Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, finished breakfast at Beverly Glen Deli, a popular spot in the city.
As the couple made their way back to their SUV, photographers surrounded them, hoping to capture a shot. Among the crowd was a photographer who, in a casual manner, said, “Thank you,” after snapping a few pictures.
Bieber, visibly irritated, immediately responded, questioning why the photographer was thanking him.
“You don’t need to say thank you,” Bieber snapped, making it clear he found the remark disrespectful.
He went on to tell the photographer to focus on doing his job by simply taking pictures, rather than making unnecessary comments.
The moment was unusual for Bieber, who is typically known for keeping his interactions with the paparazzi relatively civil.

This exchange has attracted attention, especially as it happened amid recent rumors about the couple’s relationship.
Justin and Hailey have been at the center of speculation about a possible breakup, but they have strongly denied such claims. Despite the public gossip, the couple continues to be seen together, sharing moments like this breakfast outing.
While the paparazzi often play a significant role in documenting celebrity lives, moments like these serve as a reminder of the pressures that come with fame, and the human reactions that sometimes follow.
