Justin Bieber’s neighbors revolt, stop paying dues over speeding

Justin Bieber

Here’s a newish photo that Justin Bieber posted to his Instagram of Biebs with rapper Tyler, the Creator, who is apparently a willing scapegoat for Bieber’s recent speeding antics through his Calabasas neighborhood. We’ll get to this silliness in a moment, but first a recap.

Bieber has shown himself to be no stranger to speeding through his hood and threatening to kill any neighbor who dares to tell him not to endanger lives. The latest such incident hilariously resulted in ex-NFL football player Keyshawn Johnson chasing Bieber back to his home where Biebs ran and hid “like a little child. Well, Bieber’s neighbors have all collectively had it with this accident waiting to happen, and since the LA District Attorney’s office is predicably dragging its feet, the members of the homeowner’s association are taking matters into their own hand and refusing to pay monthly dues until something is done about Bieber. Voting with one’s pocketbook is often the smartest thing to do, and this situation is no exception:

Keyshawn Johnson

Ex-NFL player Keyshawn Johnson isn’t the only Calabasas resident who’s fed up with Justin Bieber.

TMZ reports that Bieber’s neighbors have banded together and stopped paying their monthly dues to their homeowners association in an effort to get the group to do something about the alleged neighborhood menace. It’s reported that 500 residents pay $1,000 a month, so the withheld money could really do some damage.

Sources told the gossip site that the goal is to force the HOA to give Bieber a warning about the neighborhood rules he’s allegedly broken.

Bieber has been accused of driving at reckless speeds through the gated private community, holding noisy parties (even when he’s out of town) and his friends have allegedly been parking on the street overnight.

This tactic should get results from the HOA sooner rather than later. Of course, Justin already whined about being framed for this latest speeding incident; and conveniently Tyler, the Creator (that comma is so irritating, right?) is now taking the fall and claiming that he was the one who was driving, not Biebs.

Well, Keyshawn told TMZ how he really feels about the incident: “We try to get behind gates so we can enjoy our families and enjoy our lifestyle, but you got a 19-year-old kid feeling entitled speeding up and down the highway.” As for Tyler, the Creator’s claims, Keyshawn is calling bullsh-t: “Look man, I know the difference between a black kid driving a car and white kid driving a car … I got biracial kids.” Keyshawn goes on to stress that Bieber must accept responsibility for his actions. I couldn’t agree more.

    He makes me all barfy.

    • Jan says:

      What is with this constant raised eyebrows, wrinkled forehead look? Is it his surprised look or sexy look. This kid make such a wrong turn.

      • yoyo says:

        Jaden Smith who is his buddy does that too in every-single-picture. It looks ridiculous. I don’t understand what they are going for but it just makes them look kinda dumb. Don’t know who started it first.

      • lunamarysol says:

        Maybe it’s the stupid boy version of “duckface”? I can’t stand this idiot, does he want to be the next Slim Shady? He does not have the talent.

    • Laura says:

      I love it Mrs. Peacock. That’s what he does to me too & now I have a name for it.

  2. bowers says:

    Why in the world would this kid want to live in a gated community? People in gated communities go there for the peace and the quiet.

  3. Lucy2 says:

    Bieber, The Baby isn’t going to listen to an HOA. He’s an entitled turd who thinks he’s invincible.

    The HOA takes in $6 million a year?! I’m in the wrong business. Wonder what they provide for that kind of cash.

    • Ivy says:

      ahahah love this nickname ^^

    • FLORC says:

      He will listen. He may not like it and in the end he may just quietly put his home on the market claiming he was done with that neighborhood and was going to leave before all this happened, but they will make him leave.

      The only way to get people to do anything is to withhold money and in the case of most HOA they will act fast if there is a danger in their community. He’ll be driven out and we’ll hear it on twitter from him and his pity brigade.

    • Marie Antoinette Jr. says:

      I’ve lived in a strict HOA before. They had the power to shut off the water if residents didn’t cooperate with the rules. We signed a contract agreeing to that stipulation in order to move in.

      Justin’s ‘hood probably has a manned gatehouse. The HOA may be able to restrict access to his guests as well. They can make it extremely annoying for him to live there.

  4. Darkladi says:

    I so love the pic of his bodyguard getting ready to put him in his car seat

    • Macey says:

      I was just going to post the same thing. That pics makes me LOL every single time.

      Kudos to these people. I hope they can get his whiny baby butt deported back to Canada..sorry Canada, but we really do NOT want this one here.

      Personally Id like to see Keyshawn give him a smack down or at least throw his diapered butt in the pool along with his ferrari.

    • Leigh says:

      Me too.
      It still brings me joy EVERY time I see it! ha.

    • kiddo says:

      Yes, indeed. The HOA should give him a time out in a play pen, with a pacifier.

    • Amy Tennant says:

      That will never not make me smile.

    • Mary says:

      This photo always cheers me up. Any update on the poor monkey that biebs discarded?

      • SamiHami says:

        Yes, actually. I read the other day that they monkey had been placed with a sanctuary in Germany. It is living with some similarly-aged young ones and seems to be thriving. So, happy ending for that little critter, no thanks to that twerp.

    • TG says:

      Yes the pic of his nanny putting him in his car seat is golden.

  5. whipmyhair says:

    Thank you for putting the Bieber in a carseat photos! They are the gift that keeps on giving.

    Also I bet Bieber will tweet about how his neighbours are bullying him, and Justin Bieber stands up to bullies!!!

  6. Tifygodess24 says:

    Where’s his mom? I thought they made such a big deal about being super close and she was guiding him in his life and has this super huge influence( and blah blah blah…) yet she’s no where to be seen? I know he’s what 18?/19? But I would be damn if I let my grown ass child act like such an Ahole in such a public forum. Where’s his PR team???
    That pic of his team “holding” back “hard core Beiber” always makes me laugh!!! Looks like an angry toddler.

    • FLORC says:

      Tifygodess24

      His mom is under his thumb. Not long ago when she wanted him to promote her book with her he blew up at her. His own mom! No one can punish him at this point when they’re all on his payroll. And I think his PR team has the same mentality as he does… or is that his manager… I statements they come off as bratty and entitled as he is.
      All there is to do now is to grab the popcorn and watch him burn out.

      • FLORC says:

        Sasha
        Oh No! I wanted to laugh, but the whole thing felt too real to laugh! Change out the 80’s decor, put a few rappers with pot in the room. Maybe a couple mixing sizzurp and playing video games and that’s beiber! His poor mother. I feel for her sort of. There’s nothing a parent can do sometimes, but still. I wonder when he’ll actually go broke?

  7. Jacqueline says:

    500 residents doesn’t strike me as too exclusive. I’m sure it’s very, very nice at $1,000/month. But that seems like a very large “exclusive” gated community.

    • Val says:

      I live in the same city as the Biebs – Calabasas, CA, although, the condo I rent is in one of the few middle to lower income sections of town and I don’t live behind gates. However, I may well be in the minority because I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere between 45-65% of the homes in this city ARE behind gates. Based on 15 years of residence, it all to often seems like Calabasas, CA is ground zero for narcissists who feel completely entitled to disregard any and all rules, ordinances or laws if obeying same might present the slightest inconvenience to their oh so important lives.

    • shannon says:

      This is just a guess, but I’m thinking there might be a building with condos in the association. That would explain a few hundred extra part-time residents. And you never know if there’s an arrangement where people from nearby communities are counted because they pay a fee to use the facilities. There is probably a concierge, a nice pool, dining options, a golf course, etc.

  8. Christin says:

    Agree with Keyshawn. One spoiled brat neighbor should not aggravate or endanger others.

    • CG says:

      Yeah, I was never a fan of Keyshawn during his playing days, but if he’s the reason Bieber finally gets smacked down about something, I will def become a fan! And the whole thought of Keyshawn chasing Bieber around the neighborhood in his Prius is hilarious. 🙂

    • the original bellaluna says:

      I really like that Keyshawn is calling Bieby on his lies.

  9. marie says:

    monthly dues? I b-tch like crazy when I have to pay my yearly dues..

    put speed bumps in the neighborhood, let him bottom out his car. one good bump and he’ll f-ck that car all up. Isn’t his 15 minutes up yet?

    • lem says:

      sadly at this point, he’s got the money to just buy a new car and i’m sure he would love doing that.

      • FLORC says:

        Before buying our house my husband and I lived in a condo. This woman in a flashy bmw would whip right through to her parking spot half way in the complex. The condo association put in speed bumps… She destroyed her bmw… and bought a tacky, glittery silver Hummer2. She still blew through the speed bumps and we moved after that. Some people will never learn.

    • jess says:

      I HATE speed bumps! I’d slash his tires if I lived in a neighborhood that added them because of him lol. We live somewhere with speed bumps right now, and my car has really tight rear suspension. No matter how slow I go, (2 mph even), the back slams down. I’m due to have a baby in a month, and I’m so worried about putting him in my back seat over the bumps.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Try going over them at an angle (diagonal) one tire at a time.

      • taxi says:

        The speed bumps won’t bother your baby.

      • Jen says:

        So does mine. My now-one-year-old never noticed.

      • SolitaryAngel says:

        @Jess: Here’s hoping you have a safe delivery and a healthy baby! 🙂

        HATE those speed bumps too…grrr I had a beautiful Basset Hound (it was my then 2-year-old son’s dog) and a neighbor who sped through our tiny neighborhood all the time. He hit and killed our dog–never even stopped to see how he was, or apologized!!! We moved immediately after that. I still hate that @sshole. 🙁

  10. Tapioca says:

    Pish! Don’t they know that being a celebrity means never having to take responsibility for your actions?

    Just ask Charlie Sheen or Li-Lo…

  11. K says:

    I work in property management and if there is one thing that drives me insane it’s residents thinking the management company is a landlord. These people are WAY out of line.

    Yes, there are times when people have a legitimate gripe about their neighbors’ behavior…but it’s for stuff like LETTING THE GRASS GET TOO LONG, not for some rat bastard kid blowing through the community at high speeds. That is what the police are for. It’s not the HOA’s problem that this brat is speeding through the neighborhood, nor is it their responsibility to stop him. HOA’s are there to manage community property to protect property values. THAT’S IT. The only thing that would change my opinion of this is if it turns out in the bylaws that the HOA is supposed to provide security, including enforcing speed limits.

    While I suspect at a $1000/mo/per lot they’ve got a hefty reserve built up, the only people this is going to hurt are the vendors—the lawn guys, the road guys, the gate guys, etc.

    • MojoRising says:

      I hear what you are saying. I think it shows their level of frustration to take it to the HOA. I swear, the inmates are running the asylum in CA. I couldn’t bear to live out there.

    • HappyMom says:

      I’m guessing that they’re not getting anywhere with the police, so they’re doing this instead.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      Because it is a private community, I have heard the speed limit is set by the HOA, not the city. Therefore it is a suggestion, not a law. I haven’t vetted that theory, though.

      • jess says:

        HOA does set the speed limit, and they actually have the rights to seize his house (contracts! woo!) if he fails to abide by their rules.

    • Nerd Alert says:

      In a gated community the HOA generally does provide security. It’s their private property that he’s speeding on, no? I don’t see how it’s not a liability if he wrecks and damages the property there.

      • K says:

        That’s a fair point that you raise. We have one Association nearby to where I live that is actually incorporated as its own town and hence they have their own security force. But the majority of gated communities simply do not provide their own security. Yes the roads are generally owned by the community, and the community is responsible for the upkeep, but that doesn’t mean the police don’t have jurisdiction over them. I hope that makes sense. And any liability that would arise from Bieber screaming through the Association would be all on him.

      • Nerd Alert says:

        Ahh, I see. It’s so nice to have someone in the biz on the comment boards here at times like these 🙂 I’m always learning new things!

      • K says:

        I’ve been doing this for two years, and I’m STILL learning. 🙂 Believe me, property managers spend a great deal of time every day trying to suss out who is responsible for what. I feel so sorry for this property management company. Whomever is responsible for this property is screwed. I can guess how this went down:
        a. residents call to complain about Bieber
        b. manager tries to calm them down and tell them to call police, that, as much as they would like to help, this is a law enforcement matter. Probably calls cops themselves to back the resident up.
        c. resident doesn’t get anywhere with police, decides to exert influence where they have some and calls property manager again. Doesn’t get any further.
        d. resident gets on the website (or emails everyone) and bitches and moans to everyone about perceived inability of management company to deal with problem. Suggests withholding HOA dues to get point across.
        e. someone leaks this to press, and now the property management company is getting phone calls left and right, real emergencies (like ruptured irrigation pipelines) are being put on the back burner to deal with the first world problems of a bunch of rich people.
        e. Property Manager is hammered by 5pm if they haven’t quit.

        Ironically, by not paying their HOA dues, they’re opening themselves up to foreclosure.

        It’s a crazy job. 🙂

      • Nerd Alert says:

        You’re right, it doesn’t seem like this will get them anywhere, just like with the police. $1000/month X 500 sounds like a lot of maintenance needs to skip, you know? Of course you do 😉 After reading that I want to be hammered by 5, too.

        What California needs desperately is a way to withhold funds from their crooked, lazy LAPD.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        In SoCA, in the event property management provides security, it is called a “Courtesy Patrol,” as “security” implies that vehicles/homes/condos won’t be broken into, which no one can guarantee.

        Private properties have the right to set speed limits (mine was 10 MPH) AND, IF INCLUDED IN THE “HOUSERULES,” the right to serve a Three-Day-Cure-Breach-or-Quit. After 3 violations, a 24-Hour-Quit may be served (make sure it falls within your management company’s parameters), or a 30-Day-Notice-to-Vacate may be served. (It may also be a 60-Day-Notice, based upon duration of residency.)

        12 years Property Management speaking here.

    • Bodhi says:

      I bet that particular HOA is responsible for security & enforcing speed limits. I also bet that there are a lot of lawyers & business folk in that neighborhood & that they’ve done their research into the bylaws, etc.

    he is so hardcore

  13. carol says:

    oh god why is he such a boob?

  14. Gal says:

    Please, please, please ALWAYS use the picture of Bieber, The Baby (love that) being put into his car seat when you do a story on him. Please.

      I hear you. Seeing that picture makes me laugh EVERY time, and makes me want to kiss the one responsible for re-posting it. Never stop CB!

  16. Nick says:

    Ill never understand why people wear their pants/shorts below their a**. Its not like I’m ancient either (I am 33 y/o). Why is this a thing? Can someone explain to me, please. If I were to rank who deserves a punch in the mouth the most in Hollywood it would have to be:
    1) Chris Brown
    2) Bieber

    The problem is these tough guys hide behind body guards so they can run their mouths/act like idiots w/out consequence. I cannot wait until Bieber declares bankruptcy. Its coming.

    • MonicaQ says:

      Supposedly it’s when you go to jail, they take your belt so you’re not a suicide risk/can’t make it into a weapon. That’s what I was always told. I’m a girl so if my pants sag it’s because I’m a lazy ass, lost weight and haven’t bought new pants.

      • Nick says:

        Thanks Monica. So he is emulating someone who is in prison because he is such a bad a**? Makes sense. I have no idea how women or men for that matter are attracted to that. Embarrassing.

      • NYC_girl says:

        I’ve also heard it’s so they can lift items from stores. Either option is unfortunate. I see a lot of young guys wearing their pants like that. I think it looks ridiculous. If this little punk walked around one of the rougher neighborhoods here dressed like he does, he would get a pretty fast beat-down.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        @MonicaQ-Really? Never heard that…still doesn’t excuse how terrible that “look” is but interesting to hear how it came into existence.

    • bella bella says:

      My therapist told me that the below-the-pants thing originated in prison as a sign of availability. She says when she tells young men this fact, they get an uh-oh look on their face and finally pull up their pants! Wish someone would let the Baby know… or maybe he likes it that way.

      • Maxine says:

        Judging by that second pic of Bieber and the guard, yes, he likes it that way.

  17. Leigh says:

    Didn’t Keyshawn SEE him run up the driveway like the little bitch he is?!?! And now he’s blaming one of the black guys in his entourage? Seriously??!!

    I’m all for not seeing the colour of ones skin, but that’s just flat out ridiculous.

    • Migdalia says:

      Keyshawn is not pointing any fingers at Tyler the creator. He’s calling bs on Tyler taking the blame by saying HE KNOWS it was Justin Beiber that was driving as he clearly saw him.

      • Leigh says:

        No no.. I know Keyshawn isn’t blaming The Creator – I’m calling out Biebs, The Baby for blaming one of the dudes in his entourage! Keyshawn SAW Bieber running up the driveway, the fact that Bieber is blaming some other dude, who happens to be black – when Keyshawn saw the sad, little skinny white boy running away, seems ridiculous to me!

  18. Shuffle says:

    I love that first picture of Justin bodyguard holding Justin at the door of the SUV.

    It’s almost perfect like he is going to put him back into his car seat for the ride home, cause baby was having a temper tantrum!

    Never get tired of that picture.

  19. MonicaQ says:

    As a black female, I don’t like going, “That jackass is racist,” because it’s like a “go to” response.

    But that jackass (Beiber) is racist. Every time some shit go down, it’s the black dude in his group. “Nah wasn’t me, it was that black guy smoking weed. Wasn’t me that trashed that hotel room–black dude. And speeding? Totally a black dude. I’m a sweetheart Canadian that loves Jesus, think rape happens for a reason, shows up 2 hrs late to concerts, and tries to beat up my neighbors.”

    Keyshawn, you should’ve been faster.

    • hazeldazel says:

      slow clap.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Yeah someone posted the same downthread. Didn’t realize there was a pattern but I don’t follow his shenanigans too closely.

      Regardless, doesn’t surprise me that he’s a racist turd.

    • Izzy says:

      MonicaQ, I doubt anyone would disagree with you. He is a racist jackass.

      On another note, I will NEVER get tired of that picture of Baby Beebee being put into his carseat by his security thug. That is just a great pick-me-up picture – pun intended.

    • Leigh says:

      Call him any name you want, but please don’t call him Canadian! We up in Canada are trying to forget! lol.

    When is this little, entitled parasite going to go away?

    • TheOneAndOnly says:

      As long as stupid parents are willing to shell out $ 756 dollars for a pair of tickets (the going rate when he played in my locale) this parasite will be around, but not long – everyone over 18 despises him. And I thought wearing your pants down below your a** was out of fashion. I’ve been to NYC several times recently, and I saw very few young people, of any race/ethnicity, wearing their pants below their a**.

      • eliza says:

        $756 for a pair of tickets????? Holy Moly! Yes, wearing your pants like an idiot went out in the late 90’s.

      • bluhare says:

        $328 per ticket for one of his shows??? That’s got to be a typo. Please tell me it is.

    • jaye says:

      Technically, Tyler threw himself on the sword, so to speak, and said that he was driving the car.

  21. Faye says:

    Blaming Tyler, the Creator? Bien sur. I’m not one to play the race card, but isn’t there always a black person for Bieber to blame whenever he gets into a scrape? Wasn’t his drug-taking some black kid’s fault? Come on. And whose fault was it all those other times when he was speeding, and Tyler wasn’t around? He disgusts me.

    On the plus side, that picture of him being picked up like a fractious baby will never stop being funny.

  22. Kelly says:

    I think I love Keyshawn. That great big beautiful man and the little girl.

    I would give anything for film of him chasing little B down in his Prius and B running into his house.

  23. With a name like Tyler, the Creator he almost deserves to take the blame…seriously it sounds like a name for a 6 year old.

    As for the Biebs…I’ve never wanted to lay a kid over my knee and whale on his ass with the buckle end of a belt like my Grandfather did…but I think it’s called for here…maybe if he had learned consequences to his actions as a child he might not be the entitled megadouche he is now.

    This is what spoiling and telling your precious crotch dropping how special they are all the time does to kids.

  24. lisa says:

    keyshawn for HOA president!

    The bald guy is hot – wonder why Jennifer Aniston never went for a dude like that.

  26. MollyB says:

    I live in a regular house in a blue collar neighborhood in the city but when some annoying kids on our block decided to start racing through the street, we contacted our alderman and he had the city install speed bumps on our street. It’s annoying as hell but at least we don’t have to worry about our kids getting mowed over on the way home from school.

  27. Emily C. says:

    Why are these guys Bieber keeps blaming for things still friends with him? Is it the money?

  28. mabooski says:

    *side-eyes* how is tyler the creator a willing scapegoat? receipts please

  29. Itsa Reallyme says:

    Not paying your HOA dues is not a good idea. Where I live, your HOA can take your home for missing payments. I do understand their frustrations though. Maybe the neighbors need to set up some type of cameras to capture the speeding so the police will do something.

  30. Anna says:

    I absolutely love the way the community is going about this. It’s smart, it’s organized, and it’s on a large enough scale to make some noise AND not get placated by some hush money/aggressive ‘fixers’.

  31. Jule says:

    Why does he want to live in a gated community with families? Why doesnt he go live somewhere hip and trendy?

    • Tiffany :) says:

      EXACTLY!
      LA has a lot of party neighborhoods…Calabasas isn’t one of them. It is where people with money go to raise families as it is way far out of the way of all of the action in the city.

      I think that is partly why he has so many parties, though. He doesn’t want to drive to the action so he has to bring it to him…and his neighbors.

  32. hatekyle says:

    Put him in the cell with Jodi Arias.

  33. bullpin says:

    Call me crazy, but what if, as Justin is speeding through the neighborhood, randomly tossed a plastic dummy towards his car. He’d think he’d hit a person, freak out and everyone records and place it on YouTube. Just saying.

  34. colt13 says:

    I don’t know if those celebrity races are 21 and over, but he should do like Jason Priestly and drive the pro-am if he wants to drive fast.
