Justin Bieber’s L.A. date night with Hailey turns tense amid paparazzi crowd

Justin Bieber had another tense run-in with paparazzi during a date night with Hailey Bieber in Los Angeles. The singer was leaving Sushi Park in West Hollywood on Friday, March 6, when photographers crowded around the couple inside a parking garage. Video of the moment shows Bieber covering his face as he walked to a black SUV. Once inside, he threw a half-empty Fiji water bottle toward the paparazzi. The bottle did not hit anyone, and the couple drove away soon after.

As reported by TMZ, the incident happened after a late-night dinner at Sushi Park, with footage showing Justin Bieber visibly upset as photographers surrounded him and Hailey Bieber on their way to their car. TMZ’s video also showed Hailey staying calm as the pair left the scene.

The moment quickly drew attention because it followed a string of similar encounters between Bieber and photographers. In the new footage, he appears frustrated from the start. He shields his face, moves quickly toward the SUV, and throws the bottle only after getting inside. The act did not injure anyone, but it made his mood clear.

This is not the first time Bieber has pushed back in public. Last summer, before the release of his seventh studio album, 'Swag', he went viral during another paparazzi confrontation. In that exchange, he snapped, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business, is it?” The line quickly spread online and turned into a meme.

Justin Bieber’s past comments on paparazzi pressure

Bieber has also spoken directly about the effect paparazzi attention has had on him. In April 2025, he posted an Instagram video showing his point of view as flashes went off around him and photographers followed him outside. In that clip, he said, “Look at these guys, man,” while his security guard repeatedly told photographers to back up.

His frustration goes back years. In 2014, after a photographer rear-ended his Ferrari, Bieber wrote on X, “There should be laws against what I just experienced.” He added, “We should have learned from the death of Princess Diana…”

The latest scene in West Hollywood shows that the tension between Bieber and paparazzi has not eased. Even on a simple night out with Hailey, the pressure followed him right to the car.
