Justin Bieber is not always such a good guest.
In 2014, he was asked to leave a Mexican archaeological site after reportedly pulling down his underwear and climbing on off-limits ruins. (This, after he was turned away for carrying beer.) Pilots on a private jet delivering Bieber and his dad to the Super Bowl allegedly had to wear oxygen masks because the stench of pot was so strong. Another time, he got booted from an Ibiza nightclub for fighting with Orlando Bloom.
Oh, and there was that time he visited Anne Frank’s house and wrote in the guest book that he hoped the young woman, killed in a Nazi concentration camp, “would have been a belieber.”
So you can understand why Chinese authorities would be wary of hosting the pop star. In fact, they have banned Bieber from entering the country because of his “on and offstage antics.” In a statement on its website, Beijing’s culture bureau explained that the performer – who’s been arrested several times, and once drunkenly drag-raced a Lamborghini – was not welcome.
“Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer,” said the bureau. “As far as we are concerned, he has engaged in a series of bad behaviors, both in his social life and during a previous performance in China, which caused discontent among the public.” The bureau did not specify which behaviors, exactly, it was referring to. It did say that it hoped to “purify” its country’s performing arts.
