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!!

Wow, I guess it got to him.
The interviewer showed him the script though...

like a year ago someone brought it up to him again and he said he didn't actually read and process the words on the card, he was really flustered and not sure what to do + most of them were in German. at least he can laugh about it now, but yeah he was SO DEFENSIVE at the time.

I'd be defensive too if people were trying to say I didn't know what friggin' Germany is. We Canadians do learn these things in school.

it got to him because his anti-semitism was showing when he heard "jewman"

Lmao, Jewman. I hear that in the video at first, but he repeats it and says "German" pretty clearly, THEN shows him the written form, and Bieber comes with that "We don't say that in America" line! Lawdt...
