Justin Bieber is an Anglophobe????



The Mirror has followed up its glowing review of Justin Bieber's upcoming release Believe with an accusation based on Monday's listening party: Justin Bieber is "charmless," "offensive," and mocks British accents. See below:

As the evening wrapped up, Reggie put some pre-vetted questions from the assembled hacks to Justin.

One, Justin decided to answer in an English accent, telling Londoner Reggie: “It’s ‘think’ with a ‘th’, not an ‘f’.”

Thanks for the elocution lesson, Biebs. Come back when you’ve grown up.


A half-dozen other outlets have reprinted the Mirror's quotations, but The Evening Standard delves even further into Justin's ethnocentric hate speech (with bonus anti-Belgianist shade!):

“You guys have some great waffles in Belgium!” he told a Belgian journalist. “Oi can do the English accent quoite good, I fink!” he misjudged.


Personally, I can't believe the media hasn't picked up on this earlier. Bieber has been doing this for years - and this isn't the first time he's confronted Reggie Yates with his prejudice. Take a look, if you can stomach it:

@:20 -


My British accent is amazing. - No, Justin. No it is not. Thank God someone is finally calling you to task on this one.

And OMFB at this clip from yesterday, where Justin tells another British deejay that his accent is "quite rubbish." THE NERVE! I don't see how this poor man managed to finish the interview tbh - ff @4:00







sources: 1 | 2 | 3

I'm not sure the Mirror could reach any farther on this one without pulling something tbh.

ETA: GOSSIPCOP REPORTS THAT JUSTIN NEITHER MOCKED ANYONE'S ACCENT NOR THREW ANY "HISSY FITS" @ HIS ALBUM PREVIEW. I'm shocked tbh!!

You should come over here to my Eastern European underage brothel and do some vodka shots at 10 am with me.
godramaclub 25th-Apr-2012 10:29 pm (UTC)
Well while you're doing that, I'll drag my Northern Irish ass out to watch old arch-enemies Sean and Stuart knock ten bells out of each other in the pub on the corner. Or whatever. Might throw a petrol bomb at something.

/still pressed at Captain Planet

I love the Beliebers. Always got their pull-ups in a knot over something.
Nobody said anything about Nicki and Madge's shitty faux Brit accents.
badwolfx 25th-Apr-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
idk, their faux Brit accents are shitty too but they didn't outright insult people with them
caulifloral 25th-Apr-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
lol biebs didn't outright insult anyone, that's the point - his words are being taken out of context by the mirror/every outlet following the mirror's lead for content. it's a totally contrived scandal and it's ALL OVER media outlet frontpages.
actxappalledx 25th-Apr-2012 09:51 pm (UTC)
lol he didn't tho. this whole post is sarcastic. if you watch the video, when he says it's rubbish, etc. they're all laughing and joking
sofiascarlett 25th-Apr-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
Well, Madonna lived in England for several years, and was married to an English man. She wasn't mocking anyone either.
lickety_split 25th-Apr-2012 09:28 pm (UTC)
They weren't mocking anyone though, just embarrassing themselves.
lolli_leigh 26th-Apr-2012 09:39 am (UTC)
probably because they weren't mocking people
grande_latte 25th-Apr-2012 09:03 pm (UTC)
Wtf is this?

This is a mess
caulifloral 25th-Apr-2012 09:10 pm (UTC)
the mirror is a troll. i d e k about this one. i'm psyched for beliebers to pick up a grownup newspaper and realize what's going down though, the twitter fallout will be EPIC but should take a couple more hours.
hocus_pocus 25th-Apr-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
I can't stand it when people mock accents especially if it's regional but I'm loving the reaction from fake patriotic dicks
imnotasquirrel 25th-Apr-2012 09:21 pm (UTC)
yeah people who mock accents are annoying but i can't @ this "scandal"
mammary_glands 25th-Apr-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)

Super fun!

chihaya19 25th-Apr-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
there's like a million different ways british people speak though, so wtf is "the british accent"? but whatever, he seems like a brat regardless
ewacat 25th-Apr-2012 09:14 pm (UTC)
I love it when people refer to "the British accent"

#MYTHICAL
ourferocity 25th-Apr-2012 10:14 pm (UTC)
i say english accent because it's easier than saying RP, yorkshire, scouse, geordie, a billion other accents that exist there. there's no such thing as british accent though, yeah.
lovepollution 25th-Apr-2012 09:23 pm (UTC)
People say "British accent" thinking we all speak either in RP or with Cockney accents. Pisses me off.
gee_wa 25th-Apr-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
It's not even that they say 'English accent' though.
When they say 'British' they include Scotland and Wales too, which is a whole bunch of other accents.
saikaro_x 25th-Apr-2012 09:38 pm (UTC)
Well yeah, it's just a general term. Just like there is no "American accent" really, because there are sooo many different accents in the US.
lcacbc 25th-Apr-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
A foreign tourist told me the other day I don't speak proper English. Dude, I am English, GTFO.
x_butterfly19_x 25th-Apr-2012 09:55 pm (UTC)
lol mte


and Londoners do say 'fink'
crazyfirecrotch 25th-Apr-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
well americans mock both the uk/canada so....
reczko 25th-Apr-2012 10:29 pm (UTC)
girl, this ain't have nothing to do with us
nicolesnitchie 26th-Apr-2012 01:26 am (UTC)
lol what does this have to do with americans
lolli_leigh 26th-Apr-2012 09:51 am (UTC)
odd that americans are being associated with a canadian teen's rudeness, but ok??
caulifloral 25th-Apr-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
the uk press is BLOWING UP with this story lmao, it's on nearly every news source's front page...and i'm not sure if they're trolling or they really believe biebs was making fun of british people by imitating one of their regional accents.
hocus_pocus 25th-Apr-2012 09:10 pm (UTC)
not really though... it was in the celebrity gossip section of the mirror and and there was nothing about bieber on the front pages of the sun or the other tabloids today, it's twitter taking it out of proportion

half of those columnists like to bitch about bieber anyway
caulifloral 25th-Apr-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)


another clip of justin's anglophobic caricature imo, this one from 2010
this monster has been at it for years
jjj 25th-Apr-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
damn him
i won't STAND for this oppression
unique_lilpixie 26th-Apr-2012 12:34 am (UTC)

idgi is anyone here offended? jw
gee_wa 25th-Apr-2012 09:34 pm (UTC)
No.
This kid didn't know what Germany was, I can't really take anything he says/does seriously enough to be offended.
draion 25th-Apr-2012 09:53 pm (UTC)
LMFAO WHAT WHERE
lolli_leigh 26th-Apr-2012 09:55 am (UTC)
he's just an irritating prick, so mostly ppl are offended by his ability to be "charming" and "suave" when it suits him, then offensive, rude, and obnoxious when his handlers aren't telling him what to say and do. his existence is more offensive than his mockery.
alienclit 25th-Apr-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
Anglophobia? Is that real? lol
superdogbiter 25th-Apr-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
you're asking this here?
when people have accused others of ageism and heightism
jjj 25th-Apr-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)
and SPECIESISM
alienclit 25th-Apr-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)
v true but it think it's especially hilarious because the English people are usually the oppressors and not the oppressed. I mean it's not cute to mock other's accents but anglophobia? Come on.
sandstorm 25th-Apr-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
Heightism is a new one to me.
lickety_split 25th-Apr-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
Ageism is real, but only when it's directed against old people.
manatees 25th-Apr-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
Ageism is legit though, even if heightism isn't. Ageism is illegal in the UK.

It's a really old term that I was taught about when studying tudor england but really holds like no relevance today.

Here for this.
grande_latte 25th-Apr-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
If this is the case then chris moyles and his entire team are anti americans cuz they always mock the american accent
hocus_pocus 25th-Apr-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
chris moyles is just a misogynistic prick though who should be ignored
grande_latte 25th-Apr-2012 09:10 pm (UTC)
Oh what?

Deets plz

Why is he still on the radio?
He's so irrelevant.
