Justin Bieber Responds To Reported Mistreatment Of Argentine Flags

Justin Bieber checked in with his Twitter followers (@justinbieber) on Wednesday night, apologizing to the people of Argentina after an Associated Press report by Michael Warren said the Canadian pop star treated Argentine flags tossed on stage “like dirty rags, using his shoes and then a microphone stand to sweep them off the stage.” But the 19-year-old painted a different picture, writing:

Heard about what is going on with me down in Argentina and I’m shocked. I love Argentina and have had some of the best shows of my tour there

people throw stuff on my stage all show and I get it to the stage hands to get off so no one got hurt. That video I saw a bra and thought…

…it was a shirt. I’m being told by my team it was a shirt but even if it was a flag I would never do anything to disrespect Argentina…

…or the people of Argentina or the fans. I’m so sorry for anyone who took my actions the wrong way and I hope you can forgive this mistake

so once again to the people of Argentina. I’m sorry if that was taken the wrong way and I’m sorry for my mistake. I hope you can accept this..

..and I loved my time there performing for you and look forward to coming back. I gave my all and I know the fans did there too. te amo

I would never do anything to disrespect my fans. I don’t like having to defend myself but this time it was needed as I mean no disrespect

so it is all love all around the world. thanks

and to all the Beliebers ALL AROUND THE WORLD. I love you and thank you for always standing by me. Much Love to Everyone. thanks
