Ever have that nightmare in which you're naked on stage being laughed at? Justin Bieber lived that very scenario on Tuesday night.
The pop star participated in a very awkward sketch during the Fashion Rocks concert in New York City, when he stripped down to his underwear to showcase his Calvins (talk about product placement). But the crowd didn't seem to enjoy the semi-nudity, booing him from the moment Bieber appeared onstage to when he began flexing in his undies.
Bieber has been accumulating a collection of troubling incidents of late, from ATV accidents to physical altercations with other celebs, plus arrests for house-egging and driving under the influence. His image has been severely tarnished, even when clothed.
During the concert, the singer presented alongside supermodel Lara Stone. He began his sketch by saying, barely audible over the boos, "So, uh, I actually don’t feel comfortable unless I’m in my Calvins, so … is that cool?”
But Bieber, ever the professional, worked through the negativity. He later tweeted and posted a Vine about the moment, saying he "killed 'em with kindness."
Grandma always said kill 'em with kindness...and then strip on live national tv. Lol. https://t.co/bKbeDJVsqJ
