The tween-idol was photographed hawking spit over the side of a hotel balcony — directly above the faces of hundreds of loyal fans who were gathered below in hopes of catching a glimpse of him. In the same series of extremely bad PR shots, he was then photographed cracking up with his friends and pointing down at the poor teenage girls gathered below that he had just spat on.

Just moments before the spit-show, Bieber posted a photo of the same fans on Instagram with the caption, “I wake up this morning to this  best fans in the world #beliebers #sexyfans.”

Spitting at a group of teenagers that call themselves “Beliebers” seems cruel enough, but it just seems extra unfair to first give them a shoutout on Instagram and then spit in their faces. They never had a chance to see it coming.
