"He should fake a epileptic fit": Internet reacts with empathy as Justin Bieber releases paparazzi video on IG Story

Justin Bieber has sparked renewed debate about celebrity privacy after sharing a video that captures his growing unease with intrusive paparazzi behavior. The pop star, who has often spoken out about his struggles with fame, posted the clip on Instagram Story showing photographers swarming around him and flashing lights in his face as he tries to leave a building. Despite his security team's repeated pleas for space, the paparazzi refused to back off.

Justin Bieber wrote under the post,

"This has to stop."

This video comes after a separate incident in Palm Springs, where Bieber looked upset as photographers approached him. In that clip, he asked about their motives, calling out their actions directed towards earning a profit and showing clear annoyance at their lack of understanding.

When one of the paparazzi wished him "Good morning," Justin replied:

"No! Not good morning! You already know. Why are you here? Money, money, money, money, money. Get outta here, bro. Money—that’s all you want. You don’t care about human beings. That’s all you care about, guys. Is money. You don’t care about people. Only money. … You don’t care about human beings."
