L&S: Justin Bieber brought six bodyguards to the dentist for emotional support
Life & Style has a new story about Justin Bieber which could possibly fill me with schadenfreude, but somehow manages to humanize him a bit. Plus I’ve just been looking at recent paparazzi photos of Bieber where he looks like a little kid who is super happy to get new shoes and play Pokemon. He doesn’t look like a tantrumy baby either. (Remember these hilarious photos that Bedhead used to post all the time? Miss you Bedhead!)
Just glancing through his Instagram, I get the impression that Bieber always travels with an entourage. At least some of the people with him are well paid (not to mention the free perks) and serve a specific purpose – like the six bodyguards he brought with him to the dentist because he was scared:
In its latest issue, on newsstands now, an insider tells Life & Style magazine that during a recent routine visit to Dr. Kevin Sands’ Beverly Hills dental office, Justin Bieber brought along six bodyguards.
“He was accompanied by six bodyguards,” reveals the insider. “They weren’t there to protect him from danger — they were just there for emotional support.”
The singer is not a fan of the dentist’s chair. “Justin not only hates the discomfort, but the sounds of the drill and of scraping on his teeth make him tense up. He gets super nervous about feeling pain.”
Novocaine isn’t Justin’s favorite form of anesthesia, the source tells Life & Style, because he dislikes needles. “His friends give him crap because if he could, Justin would get knocked out cold just to fill a cavity.”
There’s a photo from last week on Bieber’s Instagram where he’s wearing a surgical mask (that’s below) so I would assume that’s when he had dental work done. I get needing one person with you for support when you’re dealing with pain and a scary situation, maybe two, but six? I had a damn baby with less people around me and I would have thrown at least two of them out of the delivery room if I had my way. This is how it is for celebrities though, they surround themselves with people who will coddle and protect them from things the rest of us deal with on a daily basis. I also wonder if the bodyguards were there to intimidate the dentist into not hurting widdle Bieber. (Incidentally while doing “research” to see if any other celebrities have brought bodyguards to the dentist I found this article about Charlie Sheen punching out a dental assistant and threatening his dentist with a knife. Charlie blamed the nitrous oxide for his flipout. No wonder LA-area dentists are sticking to local anesthetic. Related: keep flossing your teeth.)
Bieber is still being sued for the egg-throwing incident on a former neighbor’s home for which he’s already paid $80k in damages and completed probation. The neighbors claim they’ve suffered emotional damage from living next to Bieber, however Bieber just won a minor victory in the case. A judge ordered the neighbors to undergo a seven hour psychological examination. Bieber would need a dozen people with him for that.
