Justin Bieber is used to fans trying to grope him, but now he’s the one being accused of being too handsy.
There’s a photo making rounds on the web that appears to show a Belieber being groped by the Biebs at a Miami meet-and-greet. In the photo, Justin kisses the fan on the cheek while his hand appears to be squeezing her breast. The pic certainly looks scandalous, but the Belieber in it has been fiercely defending her idol’s honor on Twitter.
“IM DYING HAHAHAHHAHA IT LOOKS LIKE JUSTIN’S TOUCHING MY BOOB IN THE PICTURE AHAHAHAHHA,” she wrote of the unfortunately-timed photo. So it sounds like Justin Bieber lucked out this time around and won’t have to deal with a second police investigation — he’s already in hot water for accidentally shooting a woman with a Nerf gun.
Justin isn’t the only star who has raised eyebrows with a groping photo. Rihanna is known for getting very handsy with her fans, and she often lets them grab her back. Rihanna seems particularly fond of fondling her female fans’ breasts and butts, which might have something to do with her claim that she can make a straight woman bisexual.
Enrique Iglesias is another singer who is a little too passionate about his fans. In 2008, he pulled a 17-year-old Anna Kournikova look-alike from the crowd at a UK concert. He put his hand on her chest; pulled her close to him; sang to her; and ended his serenade with a smooch. Luckily she was just thrilled to get that close to her “Hero,” saying that the moment was “like a dream.”
But not all fans enjoy getting this close to celebs. Last year three women accused actor Cuba Gooding Jr. of sexually harassing them at a bar in New Mexico. One of the women had photographic evidence that the “Jerry Maguire” actor groped her breasts, and he was also accused of grabbing their butt cheeks and making lewd comments. It used to be considered endearing when he shouted “Show me the money!” over and over again, but now it probably just sounds desperate and disturbing.
Hopefully the Biebs’ bad boy act doesn’t get so out-of-hand that stories about his handsy behavior are also sad and sickening sixteen years from now.
