8 year oldThe pop star has been open recently about the toll interactions with fans has taken on him — in March, he cancelled all meet and greet tickets to his world tour, telling ticketholders the meetings “drained” and “depressed” him.
Now, he’s gone a step further, telling fans he’s “done taking pictures.”
“It has gotten to the point that people won’t even recognise me as a human, I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity,” he wrote on the post. “I realise 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.”
Bieber posted again after the inevitable fan backlash to the announcement, responding to one Instagram user named Braekess who argued that “your fans are the reason you are as successful as you are. The least you could do is take pictures with them.”
“Years ago it was impossible to even take a picture at anytime not everyone was accessible to a camera now everyone has a camera phone and Now it’s just a different thing,” he wrote.
“If you think setting boundaries is being a douche I’m the biggest douche around but I think it’s smart and will be the only way I last. I wanna enjoy life and not be a slave to the world and their demands of what they think I need to do!! I love the fact that I am able to make people happy but cmon if you truly were in my position you would understand how tiring it is (boo hoo Justin get over it) I’m going to keep making decisions I feel are fit for my growth and no human being will make me feel bad for it.”
