Charlie Puth apologizes after blasting Justin Bieber
Charlie Puth has apologized after slamming Justin Bieber in a foul-mouthed outburst during his concert in Dallas, Texas, on Friday (11Mar16).
Following a rendition of his track We Don't Talk Anymore, which features Justin's ex Selena Gomez on vocals, Charlie shouted, "F**k you, Justin Bieber," to a shocked audience.
Now, the See You Again hitmaker has tried to make amends by posting
a lengthy apology message on Twitter.com. However, he later deleted
the tweets.
"I am a massive @JustinBieber fan and I have nothing but great
things to say about him and his music always,” Charlie reportedly
wrote in a series of messages on Saturday (12Mar16). "Please find
it in your heart to forgive me and know that this is coming from a
real place. I am not a mean person.
"I am very sorry if I offended anyone, and mostly to Justin. His
work is inspiring. I would never intentionally or publicly bash
him. I was bullied where things like this were said to me all the
time, pretty much all of my life until the end of high school."
HollywoodLife.com also report that Charlie wrote a lengthier
apology that he posted later on the social media site, which read:
"Hi everyone. I wanted to clear something up. I tweeted this early
this morning, but I thought it would be much more effective if I
wrote this in one cohesive note rather than a series of tweets.
"What I said at the concert about Justin last night was meant to be
lighthearted, and sounded so in my mind at the time, but of course
hearing it now it sounded mean and uncalled for, which it was.
"My goal in life as a person and as an artists is to never exchange
hateful vernacular between other artists, or anyone for that
matter. The thematic and lyrical element that lies in the song I
wrote entitled ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ hits very close to home for
me and I let my emotions get the best of me last night mid
song.
"I hope his fans can accept my apology and realize that people do
make mistakes and that I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t make any. I
deeply apologize for my words (sic)."
Both apologies have now been deleted, and no mention of the
outburst is featured on his Twitter feed. Charlie, who performed
See You Again at the Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday with Wiz
Khalifa, later thanked his fans after he won the Favorite
Collaboration honor for the song.
"WOW! Thank you Kid's Choice. What an honor (sic)! Thank you," he
wrote. "It's crazy that I grew up watching The Kids Choice Awards
eating pizza on my couch and now I just played on it with Wiz."
