Ah Justin Bieber. The Biebs. Hollywood’s constant source of amusement.

BreatheHeavy recently posted a story about the pop star bursting into tears during a show in Philadelphia. Fans were supportive in the comments section, telling him to keep his chin up and keep going strong.

Unfortunately, stardom comes with a price, and it is often paid in tears.

In a recent wave of fan sightings, Justin Bieber has had his photo taken, been glomped (viciously hugged), caught barefoot in the park, recorded, and otherwise paparazzied by countless denizens of the Web.

Bieber is tired of people posting what he believes to be private moments to himself on the internet. So he did something about it.

“If you happen to see me out somewhere know that I’m not gonna take a picture. I’m done taking pictures. It has gotten to the point that people won’t even say hi to me or recognize me as a human. I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to to keep my sanity. I realize people will be disappointed, but I don’t owe anybody a picture. And people who say, ‘But I bought ur album,” know that you got my album and you got what you paid for… AN ALBUM! It doesn’t say in fine print whenever you see me you also get a photo.”

During his Purpose Tour, Bieber canceled all of his fan interactions and meet and greets, claiming they left him “feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression.” 

What do you guys think? Is this standard Bieber drama, or a legit request from one human being to the masses?
