Justin Bieber manages to be an unbelievably popular singer and also a near-universally despised singer all at the same time. So an incident like the one that happened on Wednesday morning in Ibiza, where Orlando Bloom allegedly punched him in the face, is bound to get a lot of people talking.
One of those people would be Miranda Kerr, Bloom's ex-wife and the subject of the two celebrities' altercation. Apparently, Bieber allegedly said a few rude words about Kerr, causing Bloom to lash out and punch Bieber straight in the face.
Kerr, however, isn't exactly proud of her ex-husband. Sources from E! Online have a statement from Kerr:
"[Miranda] is in Spain and Europe now and is vacationing with the family and relaxing," said E! Online's source. "Miranda wants all of this behind her and she just wants to move on from this and go about her life. She is very embarrassed about everything that has gone on."
Kerr, however, is just about the only person embarassed by all this. The NY Daily News has a collection of various celebrity tweets riotously mocking the incident.
Here's Stephen Colbert:
"Orlando Bloom was in LOTR, married Miranda Kerr AND punched Justin Bieber? By my count his monkey paw only has 2 fingers left."
"Arrow's" Stephen Amell:
"Orlando Bloom didn't try to punch Bieber. It looks like he tried to flick him in the head. That's way, WAY better."
"Scandal's" Joshua Malina:
"This Justin Bieber/Orlando Bloom thing is the first time I've been interested in a featherweight match."
However, another E! Online story adds a sinister undertone to the fight. According to their sources, there may have been a little bit of romantic interaction between Kerr and Bieber. Their report claims the that "they were all out partying until early morning and the group went back to the hotel. Bieber and Kerr were acting flirty throughout the course of the evening."
Hopefully, all these celebs can work things out, although Bieber will probably be just as notorious as he was before all of this started.
