14 DAY TRIAL // A scuffle broke out at Cipriani in Ibiza the other night, when Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom allegedly exchanged words in public, taunts over who slept with whose girlfriend / wife, and the actor took a swing at the pop star and missed. A new eyewitness account claims that there was more to the scuffle than we first thought.
The plot thickens!
For starters, there was an actual fight and Justin really did get his backside kicked by Orlando, former Spanish journalist Anastasia Skolkova tells The Mirror. She claims to have witnessed all the altercations that night.
In other words, besides what has been captured on camera in the two videos embedded below, there was an actual fight, one in which Justin didn’t hide behind his bodyguard or his computer screen and fought like a man.
He also lost like one, Skolkova tells the British tab, but at least it was to the delight of all the celebrity guests at the venue, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Lindsay Lohan and Diddy. DiCaprio for one, was thrilled that his mate Orlando was turning The Biebs into his little punching bag and he made sure to let it show.
Leo and Orlando had dined together at the same restaurant just shortly before the scuffle. Leo witnessed the exchange that prompted the fight, saw how rude Justin was by telling Orlando that his ex-wife Miranda Kerr “was good” in bed, so naturally, he took his friend’s side when things got violent.
“Justin said something when he came in which was aimed at Orlando, who then jumped onto a sofa to try and get at Justin. When Orlando punched Bieber, everyone started clapping. Lindsay was laughing. It was amazing. The whole table he and DiCaprio were on were clapping. Afterwards, I don't know if people were congratulating Orlando or trying to calm him down,” Skolkova reveals.
This would confirm earlier reports that said people at the restaurant started cheering and applauding when Justin left, presumably because they too were annoyed with him.
“When security saw that when they got separated, Bieber and Orlando tried to punch each other again, security were like, ‘Bieber came, Bieber provoked this fight,' so they took his hands behind his back and took him away from the restaurant. There were actually two moments when it turned violent, it wasn't just the one punch thrown,” she continues.
The fight is believed to have started when Orlando refused to shake hands with Bieber because he believed he had had an affair with his wife Miranda back in 2012. Mature as always, instead of ignoring the snub, Justin is believed to have told the actor that she “was good” and to “tell Miranda I said hi.”
Just as mature was Orlando’s reaction, who jumped to hit him in the face but, as the first video below proves, missed by a little. Earlier this year, he was photographed with Selena Gomez, who was broken up with Justin at the time. This too is said to have added to the tensions between the two.
