PHOTOJustin Bieber appears to grope a female fan in a photo from a meet-and-greet with Beliebers in Miami last week — but it looks like the encounter was less scandalous than it seems at first blush.
The picture (see right and below) shows The Biebs kissing the young lady’s cheek while apparently cupping her breast.
Not surprisingly, the startling shot is making waves online.
But while it certainly looks like Bieber gave his admirer a boob squeeze, the fan herself is disputing that anything deliberately inappropriate had happened.
Jocelyn, who tweets as @JocelynnBieber and has gained new notoriety among Beliebers since the photo went viral, first wrote about the encounter, “I JUST MET JUSTIN AND HE KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK AND IM GOING TO CRY AKFNRNKSNBDAHANDISKBEIAN.”
She called the night “AMAZINGLY FLAWLESS” and did not mention the “groping,” sounding more preoccupied with sharing details about how she made a “fake wristband” in order to gain entrance and get the picture.
Only later, after the “grope” shot was put on the Bieber Fever fan site, did Jocelyn mention it.
She wrote, “IM DYING HAHAHAHHAHA IT LOOKS LIKE JUSTIN’S TOUCHING MY BOOB IN THE PICTURE AHAHAHAHHA I CANT” before retweeting other fans who were impressed Bieber touched her chest.
“Let me clear this up for people who can’t read, NO I did NOT ask Justin to touch my boobs,” clarified Jocelyn, explaining that she’d whispered to Bieber “that it was my 2nd time sneaking in & he kissed me on the cheek in the picture & it looks like his hand is there.”
Later, she tweeted, “people can think what they want but I know what really happened & Justin does too so everyone else’s opinions don’t matter to me.”
Whether Bieber simply accidentally touched Jocelyn’s chest or was caught by an unfortunate camera angle, it seems like Jocelyn is OK with how the encounter went, and the case can be closed on GropeGate.
