Video from a West Hollywood parking garage captured a brief confrontation between Justin Bieber and paparazzi after a dinner outing with Hailey Bieber on Friday night. As photographers crowded the area near the couple’s vehicle, Bieber appeared frustrated while making his way into the car.
Footage of the moment showed him throw a water bottle in the direction of the photographers before the SUV pulled away. Hailey Bieber did not appear to react during the exchange, and no injuries were reported.
The incident followed a date night at Sushi Park, a celebrity favorite in Los Angeles. Earlier in the day, the couple had also been seen out together in Beverly Hills.
Public clashes between celebrities and paparazzi are not unusual in Los Angeles, especially in busy nightlife areas where photographers often wait outside popular restaurants. Bieber has spoken in the past about feeling overwhelmed by constant attention in public spaces. This latest moment adds to that ongoing tension between high-profile artists and the photographers who follow them.
