Teen icon Justin Bieber caused a fuss on the set of an Australian chat show during a recent trip Down Under - he swore at a production crew member who touched him.

The Baby hitmaker, who is just 16 years old, stunned staff at Sydney-based morning TV show Sunrise last month when he cursed at a floor manager who led him to the performance stage.

Sunrise host David Coch tells Aussie radio station Mix FM, "We had him on and he was a thoroughly nice bloke, really decent guy.

"Our floor manager was directing him to where he was about to perform and he turned around to (floor manager) Nick and said, 'Don't ever f**king touch me again'. Nick went 'What?'

"And then (Bieber's) sound guy said, 'Don't take offence mate he tells us that all the time.' So I was a little disappointed in that... I thought maybe someone needs to drag you aside and give you a bit of a slap."

It's not the first time Bieber's high-maintenance ways have come under scrutiny - he allegedly stormed out of an interview during Radio 1's Big Weekend in Wales last weekend when a journalist asked about his tattoo.

This kid did it to himself. He wanted the limelight and he sure as hell got it whether he wanted good instead got bad. He just needs to back down, disappear and wait until he gets older before dumber shit comes to the light

[HillBillyWilly]

If he treats his sound crew like that a lot, he is just being a brat and it really shows his immaturity

[Φρανκομβριτ]

who? I can't see the name....

LOL

I'm not surprised by this. He's the next Paris Hilton. I spoiled little bitch!

[Hollywood]

Spoiled rotten is right. Raised in riches and now he thinks he's the king of the world. Little brats don't get anywhere in life, or at least not anywhere particualry good. I mean, look at Lindsay Lohan.

[HillBillyWilly]

yeah. i thought that he might actually be polite until this. you wouldn't guess that he would do something like this on a regular basis if all you heard was an interview of him. I've heard interviews on the radio and he seemed mild mannered enough.


but now:

"Don't you ever F*cking touch me again." ? sounds like he thinks he is too important to be touched or handled.

[Black or White]

sounds like he thinks he is too important to be touched or handled.

Yeah it seems so, it is a shame how significant people believe themselves to be as soon as they become famous and rich.

[Whisper]

maybe just maybe hes starting to feel allot of pressure because EVERYBODY seems to get a kick out of attacking him
if you don't like his music, don't buy it
simple as that

srsly even on VT you guys seem to take great pleasure in slamming him for everything, grow up already.
He's a teen for fuck sakes if i was him i'd start to feel the pressure from all the bullying too.
I don't fuckin like bullies
No wonder they all do crack lol

The majority of you freak right out if your parents monitor what you do even slightly
imagine having the entire world cast a light on EVERYTHING

[Gumleaf]

let's be fair here. david koch is a dickhead anyways :P but i agree, i can't stand the guy and one day when it all falls to pieces he might realise that he isn't the most important person in the world anymore.

[Brighter.Tomorrow]

What people aren't looking at is all the pressure he's put under. My friend has an uncle who tours around the US preforming, he gets barely any sleep, and he's not even the tiniest bit of famous. Imagine how little sleep Justin must be get and how much stress he must have.
I don't like alot of his music, but I don't go out of my way to attack him.
Bullying is what caused the Columbine Shooting, after all.
We all have a breaking point, and if he reached his, whats wrong with that? How many people here have a hissy over having they're cell taken away?
Cut the Celebs some slack.

100% on the spot. Couldn't have said it better myself.

beiber can jump off a cliff

YAY. Someone who agrees with me.

[UnknownError]

YAY. Someone who agrees with me.

Don't forget me! :D

Although into the ocean full of sharks and jellyfish would be better...

xD totally

[Perseus]

Geeze, what a jackass. At first I thought this article was gonna be something silly, but nope, he went all out. Even if you're under pressure, you don't yell "don't fucking touch me ever again" to someone trying to help you. I would have gone off on him if I was that guy.

[Sith Lord 13]

Some people really don't like to be touched. Cut the guy some slack. I don't like him, and am all for the sharks and jellyfish, but this isn't really a big issue.

[The Dark Lord]

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Arrogant little cock, he deserves it

[MaliciousBunface]

Lol, he obviously has personal space issues...and everyone has a right to swear..maybe :P

[CaptainObvious]

I don't quite see where you get that, he was definitely not rich before he started singing.

This is also true.

As is this.

But really, I think it's mostly down to him needing to learn how to be less of a little bitch, even when he's under pressure touring. I know people who have met him back in late 2009 when his career was taking off, and apparently the diva behavior was happening then too. So it doesn't surprise me.

[Iron Man]

Hmm. He should try saying that in prison, see where it gets him.

[aekid]

Wow that is just sad. Extremely spoiled brat.

[Aves]

Ok... coming from a my perspective AS a stagehand, I would make sure this guy wouldn't even step foot on that floor again. You don't treat a stagehand like shit. This kid is like half the fucking pricks at my school who think they are born with a birthright to perform on a stage. Justin Beiber is an annoying pre-pubescent child as it is. If you think this response is out of line, well you obviously have never worked a single show. I've dealt with enough people cussing me out, because I was doing MY job, that they need to learn. This is just one of those things that hits home to me.

[MyNameIsJack]

mmm.. he have a cute face but personality bleh

[Ryhanna]

I hate Kochie and probably wouldn't be suprised if he made the whole thing up for attention. Having said that: I hate Beaver more, so I'm siding with Kochie... And I also know that Kochie wasn't lying because of someone who heard Bieber say that other than Koch.... (I almost wrote Kock a few times... I swear it was an accident :P)
