Justin Bieber was recently seen in a video angrily speaking to a group of young boys who were crowding him, demanding they respect his boundaries.
The singer was reportedly at a lush Beverly Hills hotel to have dinner with his pregnant wife, Hailey, when a group of teenagers started following him and recording him on their phones, which he obviously didn't like.
It comes after Justin and Hailey Bieber shared a series of loved-up Instagram photos with the former model's baby bump taking center stage.
Justin Bieber Scolds Young Boys Harassing Him In Public
The "Sorry" hitmaker has seemingly embraced less drama and public attention as he prepares for his fatherhood phase.
In a new video making the rounds on social media, the 30-year-old singer can be seen in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria, a known celebrity hot spot in Beverly Hills, where he lashed out at some youths.
In the clip, he asked the group of teenagers what they found funny and waved his hands, telling them off, as hotel staff waded in to help him fend off the children.
According to TMZ, eyewitnesses say his reasons for chasing the boys away were good, as he was scheduled to meet with Hailey for lunch at the hotel before they started trailing and yelling at him.
Justin's security was limited, so he nicely asked them to leave him alone initially, a plea that was apparently ignored. An eyewitness added that he didn't curse at the teenagers as he only wanted to make sure his wife was out of harm's way.
Social Media Has Mixed Reactions To The Video
Fans of the star have since taken to social media to defend his behavior, noting that the children were invading his personal space and harassing the star.
A person wrote, "I don't think he would do this for no reason," while another said, "Bieber [is] one of the chill ones. Leave him alone."
A third person noted, "People pointing their phone cameras at me and laughing would be my villain origin story."
Some individuals took the opportunity to criticize Bieber's outfit and his past behavior.
"Where does bro shop for these outfits?" someone commented, including three skull emojis.
Another person said, "Bro got humbled by some middle schoolers, lmao."
One more TikTok user noted, "I would never imagine Justin to look like this 15 years ago."

Justin and Hailey are expecting their first child together any moment from now and have been showing off just how much they're anticipating parenthood with loved-up photos on socials.
According to TMZ, a source disclosed that Hailey was six months pregnant in May, meaning that she may give birth as early as this month.
The husband-and-wife duo recently shared some snaps on Instagram showing Hailey's baby bump.
The businesswoman looked chic in a red body-hugging gown and heels, while Justin wore khaki shorts and black button-up shirts with formal shoes.
The Couple Is 'Super Committed' To Their Marriage
The news of the couple's pregnancy comes after the "Never Say Never" singer and Rhode beauty founder were hit with rumors of a rift in their marriage, as Hailey's dad asked for prayers for them.
However, those rumors have been laid to rest. A source close to Justin told People Magazine that the pair, who first said "I do" in 2018, are "super committed" to their marriage as they expect their first child together.
"They're ready to become parents. They're planning for the baby's arrival and it's very cute," the insider shared. "They are super committed to their marriage, but also to being the best parents possible."
Hailey Bieber Has Been 'Very Supportive' Of Her Husband
Hailey, on her part, is said to be super protective of their relationship with Justin and is understood to have found safety in their relationship.
"The music industry is a cutthroat world and it's difficult to trust people. He's had major trust issues and thinks everyone wants something from him," another Justin source told the news outlet. "He has a small circle of friends."
"Hailey has always been very supportive of Justin. She's his rock. She is patient and someone he can always lean on," they added.
The insider went further to gush over Hailey, calling her a "very solid" person while revealing that she has "been a grounding force for Justin."
Although managing a high-profile marriage like the one she has with Justin "hasn't been easy," the source added that she has "really figured out who she wants to be and works really hard. They will be super hands-on parents."
