Bieber, a diva? Say it ain’t so! Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber has denied a tabloid report claiming he told a TV stage hand “Don’t ever fucking touch me again” during a chaotic appearance on Australian morning show Sunrise last month.
Word on the Curb claims His Bangness threw a profanity-laced tantrum that would make JLo and Mariah proud after a sound technican had the brazen audacity to touch him just moments before his performance, according to Sunrise employees.
Peter Koch — who co-hosts the AM chat show — suggests the 16-year-old pop star is overdue for a royal ass-whipping after swearing at the floor manager just before he performed on the show during a promotional visit to Sydney in April.
“We had him on and he was a thoroughly nice bloke… really decent guy,” Koch told Sydney’s Mix 106.5 radio station Wednesday. “(But) our floor manager was directing him to where he was about to perform and (Bieber) turned around and said to him: ‘Don’t ever fucking touch me again.’”
Koch said the stunned floor manager was reassured by Bieber’s regular sound tech that “he tells us that all the time.”
None of its true, says Bieber — who slammed the claims on his Twitter account yesterday afternoon, writing:
“Family time with my mom couldn’t come at a better time….I was raised to respect others and not gossip…nor answer gossip with anger…”
“I know my friends family and fans know the person I am. Hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess….”
