Whether people are passionate Beliebers or harsh critics of the artist and performer, they can't argue with the fact that this man has been a force in the world of pop culture. Finding fame at just 13 years old, with some help from talent manager, Scooter Braun, and music icon, Usher, the Canadian-born singer/songwriter has had to grow up with the world watching.
So many people (including celebs) comment on - and sometimes criticize - every move he makes.
Whether someone’s actions are controversial or not, they may trigger feuds with others, since rivalry and disagreement are only natural (and sometimes healthy). However, given Bieber's history of being not only controversial but downright confrontational, it isn't surprising that there are so many fellow celebs with something to say about him. Keep scrolling to read about his most dramatic feuds with other stars.
15 Tom Vs Bieber
For those who aren't aware, Justin openly and publicly challenged world-famous actor and heartthrob, Tom Cruise, on Twitter. He actually challenged Tom to a UFC 'octagon' fight. This happened in June 2019, and Bieber taunted the Mission Impossible actor repeatedly.
Although Cruise didn't make a public response, UFC president, Dana White, publicly stated that he had been in touch with Cruise. Tom was willing and ready to fight, but Justin backed out with an apologetic Twitter response.
14 Seth Rogen
One of the most public haters of Justin Bieber is funny man, Seth Rogen. For a number of years now, Seth has not been afraid to voice his dislike for the Canadian on social media. It started when Justin was arrested in January 2014 and charged with drunk driving, resisting arrest, and driving without a valid license. This triggered Rogen's open resentment.
The two have met in person - apparently, Bieber asked to meet Rogen before acting unexcited. This move was perceived by Rogen as disrespectful. It made him hate Justin even more.
13 Eminem
For those who don't follow Eminem, some of his more recent work (particularly the album titled Kamikaze, which was released in 2018 and featured the song, The Ringer) includes very critical views about some rappers and musicians. Em weighed in on Justin and Machine Gun Kelly.
Bieber responded by saying Eminem "just doesn't understand it"; an interview with an inside source who is close to the rapper indicated that Eminem just laughed at Justin's response.
12 Marilyn Manson
Manson's beef started when Justin Bieber repurposed old Marilyn Manson merchandise in 2017. The two originally had a pleasant relationship - they wore each other's shirts until Bieber began altering Manson products, by adding his name to them and selling them off.
In a conversation between Bieber and Manson, the situation got hotter, when Bieber told him "I made you relevant again". However, Bieber's team quickly gave Manson the proceeds and apologized. Manson accepted the apologies.
11 Orlando Bloom
Things still haven't settled down between these two and probably won't, by the looks of things. Orlando and Justin's problem started in 2012 when Bieber appeared to be trying to flirt with Orlando's then-wife, Miranda Kerr.
After Bloom and Kerr's divorce, rumors spread of a romance between Bloom and Selena Gomez (Bieber's ex). Apparently, all of the drama led the two men to get into a physical fight in an Ibiza club.
10 Jon Hamm
The popular actor from the TV show, Mad Men, has vented about his dislike of Bieber in interviews and on social media. He's done so multiple times now. Out of his many messages about the performer, the core critiques are centered on Justin's character, especially regarding his DUI arrest in Miami. Hamm also dislikes Bieber's lack of respect for authority and overconfidence.
Hamm remarked, in an interview with Us Weekly, "You're like, 'What the #$%&, man? What are you doing? Why?"
9 Keyshawn Johnson
Based on something more than just online retorts, Keyshawn Johnson's problem with Bieber stems from the fact that he had to confront the young star in person. Johnson was out on the roadside in his gated community, with his three-year-old daughter at his side, when Bieber sped past at a high speed. Bieber was driving in a 25 mph zone.
Johnson followed Bieber's white Ferrari to his home nearby, He stood in his garage doorway and told Bieber he wanted to talk - Bieber went inside without a word.
8 Joel McHale
Venting with Conan on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, the actor from the Community TV series made a statement that later turned into an Internet meme. When commenting on Bieber getting arrested for egging a neighbor's house, Joel publicly announced "cause he's a $$$$$ idiot", and made more negative remarks about the performer.
Later, while opening the ESPY Awards in 2015, McHale joked around, blaming Canada's continued Stanley Cup losses on Bieber's conception. Ouch.
7 Jon Bon Jovi
Rich and generous Jon Bon Jovi has a 'nice guy' image, but he directed a heated message towards Justin Bieber in 2013, during an interview with the London Evening Standard. Bon Jovi was reacting to Bieber arriving 2 hours late for a performance at the O2 Arena in London. Many young fans had to leave before seeing their idol. Bieber claimed he was only 40 minutes late due to the advertised schedule being incorrect.
6 Bill Clinton
This will come as a surprise to most, even if they are aware of a lot of Justin Bieber's antics. A video surfaced in 2013, most likely taken by some of Bieber's friends on a night of partying, featuring the Canadian singer urinating into a mop bucket in what appeared to be the basement of a club.
Not a lot happens until Bieber comes across a picture of Bill Clinton, to which he yells "$%&? Bill Clinton!", spraying Windex on the image to destroy it. The ex-president and the star talked online and Bieber apologized - Clinton accepted the apology.
5 Gene Simmons
In a more recent spat, Kiss frontman and bass guitarist, Gene Simmons, came out swinging at Bieber. He said on camera to TMZ, "you're rich... you've got white privilege b$%&%. There's nothing to complain about", and a lot more. This came after Bieber canceled the remainder of his Purpose Tour, for reasons to do with his "soul and well-being", leaving many fans seeking refunds and feeling disappointed.
4 Jared Padalecki
After Bieber egged his neighbor's house, and word of Justin's beef with Keyshawn Johnson got around, the police raided his mansion and arrested one of his friends for drug possession. Jared Padalecki tweeted an accusation that the drugs would've belonged to Justin, causing many Beliebers to troll the actor. In 2019, Padalecki offered to step in for Tom Cruise in Bieber's proposed UFC fight. This showed that some bad blood remains.
3 Olivia Wilde
Building off of the other events in 2013 that saw Bieber's public image deteriorate, actress Olivia Wilde tweeted an unimpressed message to Justin after photos began circulating of him strutting around, showing off his shirtless chest after a show in Birmingham, England. The core of Wilde's message was "Bieber, put your $%&%$%& shirt on", showing the actress was sick of seeing the young man posing.
2 Selena Gomez
Gomez is healing after her relationship with Justin. She and Bieber have had a very long history of on-off romance, dating back to when their careers both took off. This makes it difficult to pinpoint one reason why they had problems.
After their final breakup in March 2018, Gomez had time to reflect, saying in an interview with NPR in 2020 that the relationship consisted of emotional abuse. She also said that she had taken time to grow out of the victim mentality.
1 Marg Helgenberger
Most people aren't aware that Justin Bieber had a role on the TV show, CSI, from 2010-2011, playing the serial killer, Jason McCann. Marg Helgenberger, a staple presence on the show, gave a highly critical review of working with Bieber, during a candid interview with France's Le Grand Direct des Medias. In the interview, she said "he was kind of a brat" and that "he locked one of the producers in a closet".
