Justin Bieber’s reps said the “Boyfriend” singer did not spit on anyone from his balcony last week, according to Us Weekly.
Bieber was in Toronto as part of his “Believe Tour” when he was pictured dropping a loogie over the balcony of his hotel, according to the Daiily Mail. Accompanying the picture was another photo showing fans looking up at him.
The reps said the two photos did not mean the star spit on his admiring fans.
"Justin didn't spit on anyone. No fans were below the balcony," his rep says. "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."
Beiber even put up a video on Instagram showing the massive group of people below the balcony. The caption posted with the video read, "I wake up this morning to this. :) best fans in the world. #beliebers #sexyfans."
"At what point are we going to start demanding that journalists actually fact check?" said the rep. "And at what point does the media have to have some kind of standard or some kind of integrity?"
Beiber was also in the news recently for attending his not-so-ex girlfriend Selena Gomez’s birthday party on Saturday in Malibu, California.
"Selena invited him," a source told the Us Weekly. "It was sweet that he came. They are just friends, but it goes back and forth. They are so young, so it's not one thing. They are always friends but still have strong feelings for each other. It's not a black and white, on or off thing."
