Inside Justin Bieber's Rough South American Tour: A Look Back
Food poisoning, graffiti charges, possible brothels, oh my!
Nov. 11, 2013 — -- intro: It's hard to feel bad for a 19-year-old who is one of the most powerful celebrities in the world, dated Selena Gomez, sold millions of albums, has droves of screaming fans wherever he goes and yet still seems to get himself into trouble.
But if anything is going to make you feel compassion for Justin Bieber, it's his South American tour. After dealing with a bout of food poisoning, Bieber had to cut short his Sunday night show in Bueno Aires. This is the second time he hasn't finished a performance this tour. The other time was after he walked off stage when someone threw a bottle at his head. Add that to police questioning the "Boyfriend" singer for his alleged illegal graffiti outside a public building, him reportedly being hustled out of a brothel in Brazil and the now infamous video a girl shot after Bieber fell asleep on her couch. Take a look back at the tour Bieber would most likely care to forget.
