Say what you like about Justin Bieber, it’s gotta be at the very least deeply annoying to be that famous. The ludicrously popular singer has made his privacy a priority over the last twelve months, posting an impossible-to-misinterpret statement on Instagram in May last year that read in part:
“If you happen to see me out somewhere know that I’m not gonna take a picture I’m done taking pictures. […] I realize people will be disappointed but I don’t owe anybody a picture.”
Which gives you some backstory for what took place in Melbourne yesterday, when 20-year-old Belieber Sabah Helal tried to take a selfie with the Biebs.
Apparently Helal had heard that Bieber was being transported around the city in a Porsche and a Volvo, so she very reasonably decided to also drive around Melbourne’s CBD, looking for him.
When both a Volvo and a Porsche pulled up behind her at a red light, Helal told the Herald Sun:
“I knew it had to be him.”
It was him, but – surprise, surprise – he didn’t want to take a photo with her. Was that going to stop this dedicated fan? Obviously, no.
“He was not interested in a photo at all. I told him that I was going to take the photo anyway.”
Footage of their meeting shows Bieber eating an ice cream (it looks like a Golden Gaytime and god, I want it to be a Golden Gaytime so bad), getting into a car after declining to be photographed, and saying to the crowd of people, include Helal:
“Look at you. You make me sick.”
(Ouch.)
According to fans, Bieber hasn’t been giving his best at his recent stadium performances either. I mean, sure, the guy seems like a jerk, but maybe being the target for a whole heap of strangers’ ardent obsession for nearly ten years would eventually make you kind of grumpy?
In any case, now you know: the Biebs really, really doesn’t want a picture with you.
