Justin Bieber’s problems with bodyguards continues. One of the “As Long As You Love Me” singer’s bodyguards is under investigation for allegedly attacking a photographer who was trying to catch a picture of Bieber. Now, the photographer is filing a suit against Bieber, claiming that the singer told the bodyguard to attack and that the bodyguard threatened him with a gun.
As we previously reported, on June 5, a photographer filed a battery report. He was trying to take pictures of Bieber skateboarding at the Miami Hit Factory parking lot. The bodyguards spotted him, allegedly charging at him. One held him in a choke hold while the other pulled a memory card out of his camera, he claims.
Now, TMZ is reporting that the photographer, whose name is Jeffrey Binion, has filed a lawsuit against Bieber and bodyguard Hugo Hesny. Binion claims that it was Bieber who ordered Hesny to throw him against the wall and choke him. Hesny “displayed a gun,” Binion claims, while another guard took the memory card.
“Justin Bieber is now an adult, and he should act like one,” Binion’s lawyer, Russell S. Adler, told TMZ. “He needs to learn that he cannot use bodyguards as weapons to harm innocent people. Bieber’s violent behavior toward photographers must end, and he should take responsibility for his actions.”
Adler, who called Bieber’s conduct “shameful and outrageous,” said that his client is seeking punitive damages.
TMZ also reported that another Bieber bodyguard was accused of roughing up someone who was just trying to take a picture of the singer in Hollywood.
Earlier this year, a bodyguard sued Bieber for unpaid wages and claimed that Bieber had punched him several times.
