Justin Bieber earning reputation for being Hollywood’s Biggest Brat

LOS ANGELES — Justin Bieber has built his empire on being a squeaky clean pop prince with a baby face but behind the lights and cameras many are accusing him of being Hollywood’s biggest brat.

On a recent flight from Los Angeles to Asia, the 17-year-old caused quite the ruckus, a source told FOXNews.com Tuesday.

According to the eyewitness, Bieber refused to cooperate with the flight staff when they asked him to take his seat in preparation for takeoff.

“He then gave the staff a really hard time the whole flight, nobody could believe it,” said the source. “And then at the end, the Captain introduced himself to Justin and kindly asked for an autograph, and he rudely refused.”

Reps for Bieber and American Airlines did not respond for comment.

But the most recent incident is hardly the first time the Canadian native has been accused of having a seriously bad attitude.

“CSI” star Marg Helgenberger revealed Bieber was “kind of a brat” during his guest appearance on the hit CBS program, and while he was nice to her, he did not have the same demeanor with the crew.

“He locked one of the producers in a closet. And he put his fist through a cake that was on the craft services table,” she said during an interview for the French radio show “Le Grand Direct des Medias.”

Bieber responded in a tweet that, “It’s kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind.”

After the claims about his “CSI” behavior, Bieber was slammed by Aussie radio host, David Koch, for having a bad attitude in preparing for a concert.

During rehearsals for a show, Koch claimed that Bieber scolded the floor manager who attempted to direct him on where to perform, screaming “don’t ever f*ck*ng touch me again.”

“I thought, ‘maybe someone needs to drag you aside and give you a bit of a slap,'” Koch continued.

Bieber later defended himself against the allegations, tweeting, “hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess. But all I have to say is… kill em with kindness. So everyone keeps smiling.”

Behavioral expert Dr. Patrick Wanis weighed in on the reports of Bieber’s behavior.

“I do think it is possible to keep Justin grounded in show business, although it requires the delicate balance of encouragement and validation, and a reminder that he is still human with flaws and imperfections,” Wanis said.

“Justin really needs to be surrounded by childhood friends who will still treat him as one of the gang instead of God,” he added.
