UPDATE: Justin Bieber faced intense heckling during the Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Toronto Blue Jays on October 16, 2023, after he booed star player Shohei Ohtani. Eyewitnesses report the singer was targeted by Dodgers fans for his support of the visiting team.
Bieber, donning a Blue Jays jersey, quickly became a target for taunts at Dodger Stadium. The situation escalated after he booed Ohtani, a beloved figure among Dodgers fans. An eyewitness recounted, “He was really heavily taunted for wearing a Blue Jays jersey.”
As the heckling intensified, fans began mocking Bieber’s previous viral moment with paparazzi from June, shouting, “Is it not clocking to you? Is it not clocking to you?” This relentless barrage eventually led Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, to retreat to a private suite to escape the hostile environment.
The game concluded with the Blue Jays narrowly losing 6-5, but the couple’s discomfort highlighted the passionate rivalry between baseball fans. This incident underscores the challenges even high-profile celebrities face when entering rival territory, particularly in a city renowned for its fervent sports culture.
