While TMZ obtained the video, they say the paparazzi is not associated with them.
Beyond the confrontation, Justin and Hailey’s public outing comes amid continued speculation about their relationship. The couple has faced breakup rumors for two months but have since put on a united front, making more frequent appearances together.

In one viral video, Justin can be seen smiling widely while shifting his weight from side to side during a conversation with Refinery29 beauty director Sara Tan. At one point, he clutched his pants with both hands before leaning over to scratch the side of his leg.
Another clip captured Justin standing with a blank expression while posing for photos with Hailey, who appeared playful as she smiled and stuck out her tongue to lick his cheek. Adding to the speculation, the "Sorry" singer wore narrow black sunglasses inside the event, which some fans found unusual.
Fans Express Concern For The 'Baby' Singer

Following the release of the videos, social media users flooded the comments with concern over Justin’s well-being.
“This is so hard to watch. Someone help him,” one person expressed.
Others chimed in, noting that the behavior seemed odd. “Why is he smiling like that? I’m scared,” someone said, while a separate user called his expression “so uncomfortable.”
“That makes me sad,” a fan said.
However, some social media users pushed back against the speculation, cautioning against overanalyzing the clips. “He’s literally just vibing,” one person commented, while another added, “People are reaching. Maybe he’s just tired.”
Neither Justin nor Hailey have addressed the growing concern, but the viral moment has only fueled further discussions about Justin’s recent public appearances and overall well-being
