We’ve all had those moments, when you say something you probably shouldn’t have said in public and suddenly you’re a gossip monger. That’s what C.S.I. star Marg Helgenberger is up against right now, having slipped up and told Europe1 that she thinks Justin Bieber is “kind of a brat.”
Helgenberger, who will have a reduced role on the show this year, was visiting the French media outlet to talk about the show (known in France as Les Experts) when she was asked about the recurring guest star role that Justin Bieber has played over the last season.
Helgenberger started off in good form, saying that Bieber was “pretty good,” given that he had “never acted before.” But she just couldn’t resist getting into a little behind the scenes gossip. She didn’t even have to be prompted with a follow up question to dive right into Bieber’s behavior when the cameras weren’t rolling.
“I shouldn’t be saying this, but he was kind of a brat,” she said. “He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the craft service table.”
Bieber’s response? Via Twitter, naturally. He told his nine million followers, ”[I]t’s kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind.”
Very mature of you Justin. Or at least better managed than some grown ups in this story have done.
