14 DAY TRIAL // Justin Bieber, you little tease! The teen heartthrob almost got punched in the face the other night at a fancy restaurant in Ibiza, when Orlando Bloom took a swing at him and missed, and fresh details suggest that the attack wasn’t unprovoked, as it was believed at first.
The incident occurred at Cipriani, which was packed with celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Diddy. According to Hollywood Life, it was the culmination of a year of tensions between the two, which started when Justin performed at the 2012 edition of the Victoria’s Secret show and he openly flirted with Miranda Kerr, who was married to Orlando at the time.
Rumors that they might have “hooked up” emerged online days after the show, but both Miranda and her attorney denied them. Either Orlando wasn’t convinced or Miranda told him a different story, because he seems to believe that something went down between her and Justin.
So they almost came to punches.
“Justin was at one table, and Orlando was at another,” one source is quoted as saying. “But when Bieber and his party were later walking past Bloom’s table, Orlando refused to shake Bieber’s hand. Bieber said something rude to Orlando, like, ‘She was good.’”
Oh no, you didn’t, Justin Bieber!
This is when Orlando completely lost his cool and went after Justin to put him in his place. As the first video embedded below shows, he missed hitting his face but Justin’s bodyguard was hit instead. Then, the two went outside, where they exchanged more words (the second video), and Justin left.
Another source tells the same media outlet that Justin was the bad guy in all this because he was acting like one major douche all night long, provoking Orlando and then letting his bodyguards solve the problem when the actor got physical.
“[Justin] purposely bumped into Orlando on his way in and made it look like he didn’t,” says the source. And Orlando missed on purpose (which is rather hard to believe), “The swing was a punch motion but in mid-throw Orlando realized what he was doing and pulled back, making it look awkward and something that didn’t connect.”
The bottom line is that these two have history and they’re acting like high school boys about it. Not only did Justin have a thing (or not) with Miranda Kerr, but Orlando too hit on Justin’s girl Selena Gomez, when she and The Biebs were on a break.
This kind of thing happens in showbiz more times than we can count, but you don’t see celebrities randomly punching each other in public over it – only Orlando and Justin.
