Every once in awhile Justin Bieber has a public moment where he reveals his idiosyncrasy. He freaks out when people touch him without his permission! When he appeared on The Talk, Holly Robinson Peete playfully tried to put a baseball cap with the show’s logo on his head. He jerked away and yelled “No, NO, DON’T TOUCH my hair!” She took the hat back and he started fussing, trying to rearrange his hair. It‘s not the first time Justin’s “don’t touch” rule was broken – when he was on an Australian TV show, he flipped out when a staffer touched him, trying to guide him to his performance area. Justin sputtered and cursed “Don’t EVER f—–g touch me again!”

I don’t have much patience for the little dweeb Beiber OR his fussy hair helmets, but I DO agree with him on his right to not have people touching him willy-nilly. Peete should have known better. She’s been accused of being “smart’ but I haven’t seen it, and just because he’s a kid, or a teen, or she has kids of her own, doesn’t mean she automatically has the right to be putting hats or anything else on anybody. I’m sure he gets mobbed and grabbed so much he’s sick to death of being snatched at and just wants people to lay off touching him. No one has the right to touch another or break that boundary, let alone when they are put on the spot on national TV. She’s a real ass!
I don’t care for people pawing me out of the blue either, but I don’t act like an ass when it happens.
I think he got too famous too fast and his nerves are on edge from traveling, performing, being pushed, pulled, screamed at, questioned, idolized, scrutinized, wherever he goes. This little outburst is maybe an example of things to come. Oh, and underneath it all, he’s wondering if he will ever grow the 5 or 6 more inches which he so badly needs.
It would have been better if he’d been polite about it. I don’t like being touched out of the blue either and I don’t know anyone who does. The worst is when you’re pregnant and everyone, even strangers, think they can paw your belly. But I digress. . .
This kind of stuff really bothers me. They obviously knew he didn’t like that…so why do it? Anything for rating I guess. Shame on them!!
I think it’s sad that he’s gotten so big so fast. He clearly is not prepared for all the attention. There’s not much humility or sense of humour left in him. Did you see him on the Grammys? When someone made a joke (can’t remember, but was very funny and not mean) about him, he had to look over to Usher to see if it was okay to laugh or not. I’m sure he is aware that he is a frequent target, but he doesn’t earn any respect when he can’t laugh at himself.
I tend to agree with Indy on this one. The little guy is on a tight schedule and constantly being told to do this and that and go to a new town & repeat and rinse. It’s got to wear on him. Plus, I know people that would go absolutely ape shit if you messed with their hair or hat …..that includes male and female.
yep: HE IS STARTING TO TALK LIKE AN AMERICAN PUSSY, folks!!
(so you won’t know the difference with other americans)
If I was a teen Idol (lol) I would HATE and freak out if people touch me without my permission! I completely agree with him!
@Reta
HRP is a b**ch. I don’t know who accused her of being smart, but I know for a fact she’s not. Smart-ass is more like it…
I recall watching a recent Beatles special where they were showing when they first came to America and were new and all the females were fawning over them and fainting and screaming. I think it was John who remarked about how wierd that people were doing that over THEM (they still thought of themselves as just regular guys from England) and Paul said something about the crowds being scary. I think that is something similar to what this kid is dealing with, but there is only ONE of him. PLUS there are nuts nuts and MORE NUTS out there today who will do crazy shit just for fame. he’s got to be jittery as hell at his age. He’s just a kid after all.
I don’t care for him, but I sure can understand how he could be feeling really freaked out over too many things at this point.
Also, that Peete woman should have passed something like that with the producers prior to that segment so he wouldn’t be caught off guard. It’s really bad hosting to make your guests look bad!
Not buying the excuses being made for his diva-in-the-making behavior. If concert promoters and TV show producers suddenly informed Bieber’s agent that due to his wishes not to be subjected to human contact under any circumstances, they’ll decline to request further bookings, Justin would outgrow his ‘touchiness’ and temper tantrums yesterday. Put another way, if he wasn’t already an established celebrity and still trying to make it, he wouldn’t dare act that way.
People!
He’s the same creep who invaded the space of Esmeralda Spaulding when she stole the Best New Artist grammy from him!
Remember?? He just put his paws in her natural fluffy afro as though it was the most normal thing “I like your hair” but if HE’S touched he get’s spazzed about it?
Including Sharon he is surrounded by{to him} five hard core panthers.
His fight or flight survival mechanism was in full amperage.
He did o.k. considering the aspect from his 16 year old point of view.
So don’t touch his fucking hair, unless you want to see him scream.
He’s completely immature, full of himself etc. I hope his 15 minutes are up soon.
Lighten up and go with the flow, Bieber. I can’t wait for his 15 minutes to be up, too.
Wonder if he has the Howie Mandel affliction?
He just turned seventeen. He asked his fans to donate to a water charity for undeveloped countries. And they will.
He doesn’t do drugs or act the prima donna, complete asshole like other pop stars. There is so much to despise him for, isn’t there Reta?
And how do your teens stand up in comparison?
I don’t have any teens or kids yet, but I can respond from my frame of reference. When I was 16, if a waiter placed a hand on my arm to point me in the correct direction of my table, and I turned to him and spat out “Don’t EVER f—–g touch me again!”, my parents would have taught me the value of humility and the meaning of respect in short order, beginning with an apology to that waiter and an escort out of the restaurant sans a meal (my family would have been too embarrassed to stay), and culminating with a loss of privileges until they perceived that I had gotten the message and could be trusted not to let it happen again. What would you do if one of your daughters did the same thing?
No need to respond. I just chafe at the idea of celebs getting the notion that their status as a celeb entitles them to the equivalent of abusing those who fail to ask ‘How high?’ when they say ‘Jump’.
Hey Selena Gomez, he must be a fun boyfriend … good grief 🙁
Am tired of this little punk ass
Keep your hands to yourself and no one has the right to torch another human being without promission and..Lets face the facts Justin Bieber is a minor and a grown ass woman putting a hat on his head is completely wrong..She should of just handed him the hat and ask first and that is the right thing to do. No respect is shown for that action.
No grown ass stranger has the right to torch another human being! It gives any one the creeps to have a stranger placing there hands over any part of your body or persons and…You never know what they have on there mind? Or if they are thinking they can have there way with you and… It is very unfair and it creepy and pushy and agressive and….It is not welcomed or asked for? Strangers putting your hands another person body is wrong and it is nasty and really freaks me out.
