Justin Bieber won’t face charges over photographer incident

Justin Bieber won’t face charges over accidentally hitting a photographer with his car.

The 23-year-old singer accidentally struck Maurice Lamont with his huge pick-up truck as he left The City Church service in Beverly Hills last week, and luckily for he star, he won’t face charges over the mishap as it was an accident.

Law enforcement officials told TMZ.com that Justin "had no intent to strike the paparazzo when he left church last week", and so police "are not recommending any criminal charges against him".

The officials also told the publication that it was Maurice who was in the wrong for standing in the road, but added that "since that’s a minor crime he won’t be charged because it wasn’t committed in the presence of police."

Meanwhile, Maurice recently posted a video on Instagram from his hospital bed where he went for treatment for a leg injury sustained in the collision, in which he said he doesn’t blame the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker for the accident.

He said: "OK. Shotgetter’s hanging in there everybody. Hour before my birthday hits I get ran over by Justin Bieber.

"Isn’t that something? He’s a good kid though. I think the truck was a little bit too big for him though ’cause there’s no way he could see over the front.

"But like I said, he got out, he was compassionate, he’s a good kid, accidents happen. Hopefully everything works out here. Getting ready to go into the x-rays right now."

The incident, which took place at around 9:30pm last Wednesday (25.07.17), was captured on camera and Justin immediately jumped out of his vehicle to help the injured man up off the ground.

The ‘Believe’ hitmaker agreed to wait with Maurice until the an ambulance arrived to assess his injuries and even managed to squeeze a smile out of him as he joked around with him.

The 57-year-old photographer reportedly told Justin he was "fine" but was later taken to hospital with his non-life threatening injuries.

Justin Bieber’s dad flies to LA

Justin Bieber’s father has flown to Los Angeles to spend some quality time with him.

Jeremy Bieber, 42, jetted in to LA from Ontario, Canada, last weekend with the pop star’s half-brother Jaxon, seven, and he was spotted driving around in a convertible behind the ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker’s vehicle.

Sources have told gossip TMZ that Jeremy has flown over to spend some time with his son after a tough last month in which he axed the remaining 14 dates of his ‘Purpose World Tour’ and accidentally hit a photographer with his car.

It’s not known how much Justin has seen Jeremy this year but his dad is said to be keen to reconnect.

There has been speculation Justin may have dropped the remainder of his tour dates to focus on religion, but Hillsong Church pastor Carl Lentz is not thought to have agreed with the singer’s decision and advised him not to pull out of the gigs.

A source recently said: "The church didn’t tell Justin to cancel the tour."

Justin is thought to have chosen to axe the concerts to focus on "spiritual soul-searching".

The insider added: "He made his decision based on spiritual soul-searching and his own view of the path in life he should be taking."

Last week, Justin accidentally hit photographer Maurice Lamont in his vehicle when he was driving away from a Hillsong religious meeting, but the paparazzo insisted the 23-year-old star is a "good kid".

He said: "Hours before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber. Isn’t that something?

"He’s a good kid though. I think the truck is a little big for him. Cause there is no way he could see over the front."

Justin’s mother is Pattie Mallette, while Jeremy also has two children, Jaxon, and nine-year-old Jazmyn, from his seven-year relationship with Erin Wagner, which ended in 2014.

Louis Tomlinson doesn’t agree with Justin Bieber’s tour cancellation

Louis Tomlinson thinks Justin Bieber should have finished his ‘Purpose World Tour’.

The 23-year-old singer recently announced he was cancelling the final 14 dates on his extensive 18-month tour due to "unforeseen circumstances" which have seen been reportedly linked to "exhaustion", but One Direction hunk Louis believes the star should have "seen it through" to the end out of love for his fans.

Speaking to 92.3 AMP Radio, the 25-year-old ‘Back To You’ hitmaker said: "Obviously, you have to be in a good position mentally, but I also think, to a certain degree, when you’re signing up to something, you should see it through.

"There’s never enough that I can say or do for the fans, and honestly, I think people can forget that to be quite honest. The whole game is so exciting and crazy, but at the end of the day, it’s the people who are buying the records that are putting you where you are."

Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker is "truly exhausted" after battling a tough touring schedule.

A source said: "He didn’t feel like he could give the rest of the tour as much energy as his fans deserve. He is a perfectionist and didn’t want to disappoint fans with some half-ass performance. He thinks his fans deserve and should expect the same performance at the end of the tour as in the beginning. He just didn’t have that passion right now. He is truly exhausted."

And whilst the insider insists this cancellation doesn’t mark a permanent end to the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker’s touring days, the star does need time to "focus on [his] own mental health."

They added: "It’s a mental exhaustion that very few people understand. It seems very fair, although understandably disappointing to his fans, that he canceled the rest of the tour. It’s a mature way of saying, ‘Sorry, I need to focus on my own health for a bit.’

"It wasn’t an easy decision for him. He has had this feeling before though and knows he has to just take a break from performing. It doesn’t mean he will never tour again – of course he will. He loves touring. Let the guy rest, and he will come back even better."

Fifth Harmony supports Justin Bieber’s decision to cancel his tour

Fifth Harmony "support" Justin Bieber’s decision to cancel the remainder of his tour.

The ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker left his fans devastated when he cancelled the 14 remaining dates of his Purpose World Tour due to "unforeseen circumstances" and the girl group – which includes Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui – have spoken out in support of Justin and have said they fully understand his decision.

Normani shared: "We support him and support happiness. We know what it feels like, especially being on the road, and we’re super family-oriented. Like, for me, I get homesick a lot. He was on tour for about 18 months, so that’s a long time … He needed it."

And Lauren added to Entertainment Tonight: "No one cancels a tour unless it’s damaging for them to continue so he probably had a very good reason."

He said: "Everything’s fine. I’ve been on tour for two years. I love you guys. I think you guys are awesome. Sorry for anybody who feels disappointed or betrayed, it’s not my heart or anything. Have a blessed day."

And his manager Scooter Braun spoke out in support of the decision and insisted his friend’s "soul and wellbeing" mean more to him than anything else.

He wrote at the time: "An incredible run. Congrats to @justinbieber on an incredible tour and thank you to the entire cast and crew for your unending support …

"And to those that won’t be able to see it … on behalf of myself, Justin and the team, we are sorry. That was never our intent. But a man’s soul and wellbeing I truly care about came first and we must all respect and honor that. Justin will be back and I know he looks forward to performing for you and with you all again.

The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker got into a fluster earlier this week when he clipped a paparazzo outside the Saban Theater, where he was attending the religious service, and knocked him to the ground as he pulled away in his black Dodge Ram truck.

The incident, which took place at around 9:30pm, was captured on camera and the 23-year-old singer immediately jumped out of his vehicle to help the injured man up.

Photographs, obtained by the New York Post’s Page Six Column, showed the hunk talking to police as the happy-snapper clutched his leg and wriggled around in pain.

Justin agreed to wait with the man until the ambulance arrived to assess his injuries and even managed to squeeze a smile out of him as he joked around with him.

The 57-year-old man – whose identity is not yet known – reportedly told Justin he was "fine" but was later taken to hospital anyway with his non-life threatening injuries.

According to ABC7, Kourney and Khloe Kardashian had also attended the service at the church but were not present when the "low speed" collision took place.

Meanwhile, Justin has had a tough time recently as he announced earlier this week that he had decided to cancel the remaining dates of his ‘Purpose’ World Tour, leaving fans across North America, Japan, Singapore, and The Philippines disappointed.

He said at the time: "Everything’s fine. I’ve been on tour for two years. I love you guys. I think you guys are awesome. Sorry for anybody who feels disappointed or betrayed, it’s not my heart or anything. Have a blessed day."

Justin now plans to spend some time resting and relaxing and riding his bike collection.
