Well, we don't have a fake here.
Justin Bieber actually spat from the balcony of the Hazelton Hotel in Toronto in 2013. At the time, this faux pas was mainly reported by tabloid media and gossip sites. Justin Bieber, or a spokesman for the singer, defended himself against the allegations, but TMZ insists that Bieber spat on his fans.
Bieber posted this video on Instagram. It shows his fans gathering on the street:
According to CTV News , the photos showing Bieber spitting were taken by freelance photographer Sean O'Neill after 4 p.m. At first he thought Bieber was chewing gum. However, it cannot be sufficiently proven whether Bieber actually spat on his fans or in the bushes below. But he definitely spat. A spokesperson for the pop star explained:
“Justin didn't spit on anyone. No fans were below the balcony. TMZ superimposed photos of the fans next to Justin on a completely different balcony to make it appear like he was spitting on fans when he wasn't. In fact, earlier in the day, Justin bought his fans hot chocolate and played them some of his new music. “Justin loves his fans.”
According to the spokesman, Justin didn't spit on anyone in particular. There were no fans under the balcony. TMZ made various photos look like Justin was spitting on his fans, but instead he bought them hot chocolate and played new songs.
eyewitnesses , the balcony was about 6 m away from the street. Justin spat into the bushes.
Result:
Photos prove that Justin Bieber definitely spit from the balcony.
Bieber had posted a video on Instagram from this balcony, showing that there were fans in front of the balcony. There is no sufficient evidence as to whether Bieber spat directly at his fans. A spokesman for the now 24-year-old denies the allegations that he spat on his fans.
