Even when he’s not the one misbehaving, Justin Bieber can’t seem to avoid trouble.
On Wednesday night one of the 19-year-old’s bodyguards allegedly got a little too excited and roughed up a photographer trying to snap photos of the singer at an Encino IHOP, according to TMZ.
The photographer, who reportedly filed a battery report with police, told authorities he was trying to photograph Bieber at the breakfast spot, and was confronted by a member of the “Baby” singer’s security detail when he took a break from work to use the bathroom.
The pap claims he was slightly injured in the incident.
This isn’t the first time Bieber’s bodyguards have had trouble with the paparazzi. During the last month, Bieber’s security team has had confrontations with photographers in Hawaii and Australia.
While the singer may not have directly been involved in the fracas, this is just another negative story for a celebrity who appears to be experiencing serious growing pains. Over the last couple months he was photographed leaving a brothel, criticized by authorities in both Australia and Brazil for his graffiti hobby, and has been accused of disrespecting the Argentinian flag.
