Justin Bieber apologized via twitter for flipping off the paparazzi on his birthday. After a romantic dinner with girlfriend Selena Gomez, the paparazzi swarmed around his car and snapped pictures of her and Gomez attempting to leave.

At one point the photographers got so aggressive that Bieber flipped them the bird, which isn’t honestly that bad. Wasn’t it Sean Penn and Bjork who both got into physical altercations with paparazzi? Wasn’t Catherine Zeta Jones punched by a paparazzi recently?

They’re a vicious bunch, those photogs.

Anyway, Beiber felt badly about the incident and tweeted:

“had a great bday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and i reacted in a way i know better. im sorry #killthemwithkindness.” He continued, “it’s not always easy but i know better than to react in anger…On a better note i need to say THANK U to my fans. we raised over 40k for @charitywater for my bday. we together #madeachange.”

What do you think? Did Bieber need to issue an apology or is it completely understandable?
