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

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!!

that doesn't sound ominous and conspiratorial at all imo!

lol there were difficulties with the sound system @ the press conference these articles are about, and apparently scooter halted the album streaming until they could get it repaired. one writeup included speculation based on scooter's mastery of the situation and overall projection of power, obviously, that some sound technician was gonna wind up dead under a bridge by morning. so...

scooter has suddenly become that much sexier to me, it gets me hot and bothered to think of him offing random sound technicians.

someone has to do it.

sugarscape added this scooter tidbit to their writeup:

Leaning on the shoulder of his manager Scooter Braun, who was choosing which songs to play on Supperclub’s godawful sound-system from his laptop, Justin argued with the first choice of Boyfriend, as “they’ve already heard that,” but we heard it again anyway.

scooter: 1
justin: 0

you'd think justin would know better by now to not go up against the awesome power of scooter.
