Orlando Bloom Throws Punch At Justin Bieber Over Miranda Kerr, Guess What Happened After?
News that actor Orlando Bloom punched or threw a punch at Justin Bieber swept through the Internet like wildfire, after the incident went down early Wednesday at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza, Spain.
The issue appears to be Orlando’s separated from wife, the supermodel Miranda Kerr, who it was rumored got too close to Bieber at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York City on November 7, 2012.
Tellingly, Justin posted two photos of Kerr to Instagram shortly after the fight, then deleted.
At first, a TMZ-obtained video was the only footage available and a source reportedly told the outlet Bieber “fled” the scene. However, the singer is seen outside the restaurant for a while on the video.
Now, a new clearer video has surfaced and it shows the moment the fight kicked off inside Cipriani, where guests reportedly included Paris Hilton, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Lindsay Lohan,
Orlando – wearing a white long-sleeved shirt – is seen recognizing Justin who wore a white T-shirt and black hat, as the two walk past a central table area in the restaurant.
The Lords of the Rings actor is then seen throwing out his arm or fist at Justin’s face.
Take a look here:
Although Bieber’s bodyguard blocks Bloom’s arm at the last minute, TMZ‘s video shows one of Bieber’s pals holding and checking the 20-year-old singer’s face, and may indicate some minor contact was made or that he was hit by his guard accidentally.
In the gossip site’s video [which is linked below], the scene switches to outside the club after the brief fight incident.
Orlando is seen walking to where Justin is standing with his pals and bodyguards. The actor is seen pointing a finger at the Canadian star in a clearly unfriendly exchange, and possibly warning of further violence.
There was also a pushing back of Bieber’s friends by a man who may have been a Cipriani staff member.
TMZ claimed a source said Bieber taunted Bloom saying: “What’s up b****?” But, this isn’t heard on the video and in fact the site’s video is not where the punch took place.
The attack is seen in the first video linked, in which it looks as if Bieber and his guards didn’t see Orlando’s punch coming until almost-impact.
According to The New York Post’s Page Six, 37-year-old Bloom refused to shake the 20-year-old “Baby” singer’s hand when Bieber’s entourage went past a seated Bloom.
E! News additionally reports the Brit actor was sitting at a table with Leonardo DiCaprio but “wouldn’t speak to Justin.”
Neither of those claims matches what’s seen in the first video, in which Bieber and Bloom are already standing up and the singer is not shown extending a handshake.
Page Six’s source then says: “Bieber said something rude to Orlando, like, ‘She was good,'” allegedly alluding to Kerr.
A source close to the singer has since denied Justin said any such thing, telling Page Six:
“Justin didn’t even know Orlando was there. But when they saw each other, it was Orlando who was just being an a–hole to Justin.”
Likewise, a second source tells E! News:
“Justin was being cordial to the guy, but then Orlando took a swing and missed. That’s when Justin mouthed off to him — but only after Orlando took the swing.”
The last two source quotes appear to tally with the scene shown in the first video and TMZ’s.

Ultimately, there’s going to be versions and versions of this reported, but most outlets seem to agree with a Page Six insider who claims Bieber and Bloom “got in each other’s faces and there were words. But they were separated by their entourages.”
“Everyone in the restaurant started cheering. People started getting up from their seats to see what was going on,” E! adds.
“When they were back together, Orlando threw a punch at Bieber. He just tried to pop him! The whole place cheered,” an eyewitness told Page Six.
However, a Bieber source insists Bloom’s punch missed: “There was no contact. He missed. Then there was some ‘tough-guy shoving’ and they were separated.”
A likely ego-bruised Justin took to Instagram and posted two photos of Miranda, shortly after video of his fight with Orlando hit the web.
Justin deleted both bikini-clad Kerr photos quickly after posting. Both were captioned with a crown icon.

Justin’s photo postings appear to cement rumors that he and Kerr had a fling after they met at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show taping in New York City, in which Kerr modeled and he and Rihanna performed in November 2012.
Or does it? Back in 2012, after rumors that Miranda and Justin hooked up at a hotel after the show, the model denied it all and had her lawyer send out a letter calling such claims “false and defamatory.”
It doesn’t look like her husband believed her.
Miranda later separated from Orlando in October 2013, amid a UK tabloid claiming Kerr and Bieber had a tryst.
The then the 18-year-old Justin was still seeing actress-singer Selena Gomez in November.
The teen couple broke up after the fashion show. It was also rumored Bieber got close to Barbara Palvin, another model at the event.

In March this year, Kerr publicly suggested she was bisexual, and claimed she “appreciates both men and women” and “I want to explore. Never say never.”
On the fight night, Kerr was at an Escada Joyful fragrance event in Munich, Germany, while Gomez – who is now friends with Bloom – walked the red carpet at her Behaving Badly movie premiere in Hollywood.
Shortly after reports of the Bieber-Bloom face-off, the singer posted, “Keeping it positive.”

For now, Justin’s Instagram page is a Miranda Kerr-less zone, and hopefully it will stay that way.
But we did find this video he posted and deleted from a yacht in Ibiza.
