Working alongside the rich and famous might sound like a dream, however, it can also be quite the task. Heck, Jennifer Lopez had to flip-flop nannies given how hard and demanding the schedule was. The same holds true for Hollywood bodyguards, Mark Billingham had to quit his role alongside Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, once again given how hard of a schedule it was to keep up with.
Given his stardom and younger age, Justin Bieber traveled with several bodyguards. We’ll take a look back at the struggle involved and how one of the bodyguard’s took the artist to court.
Justin Bieber’s Bodyguards Would Often Check His Pulse While He Slept
“It was like I had all this success and it was still like: I’m still sad, and I’m still in pain. And I still have these unresolved issues,” the singer told GQ. “And I thought all the success was going to make everything good. And so for me, the drugs were a numbing agent to just continue to get through.”
Things got so bad for Justin at one point, that his bodyguards would check his pulse while he slept, ensuring the artist’s well-being.
Looking back on some of his bad decisions, Bieber blames it on losing focus and a loss of vision.
“I just lost control of my vision for my career,” the pop star continued. “There [are] all these opinions. And in this industry, you’ve got people that unfortunately prey on people’s insecurities and use that to their benefit.”
“And so when that happens, obviously that makes you angry. And then you’re this young angry person who had these big dreams, and then the world just jades you and makes you into this person that you don’t want to be.”
Biber’s list of problems grew thicker in 2012 following an incident alongside bodyguard Moshe Benabou.
Justin Bieber’s Former Bodyguard Moshe Benabou Filed A Lawsuit Against The Pop Star
In October of 2012, it is said that Justin Bieber got physical with former bodyguard Moshe Benabou. The situation spiraled into court, but was later resolved.
“The matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, and the case has been dismissed,” Bieber lawyer Howard Weitzman reported to CNN.
According to Benabou’s lawsuit, things escalated when he tried to hold back a member of Bieber’s entourage, something that did not sit well with the artist.
“The tirade was apparently triggered by what Justin Bieber perceived as an attempt by Moshe Benabou to keep one member of Mr. Bieber’s entourage physically away from Justin Bieber,” the lawsuit said according to CNN.
“As part of this tirade, Justin Bieber repeatedly punched Moshe Benabou in the chest and upper body area. Mr. Benabou did not retaliate or attempt to protect himself out of his concerns for Justin Bieber’s physical well-being.”
It was all part of a big downwards spiral back in the earlier part of the 2010s. These days, Justin Bieber appears to be taking on other struggles, particularly to his health.

Justin Bieber appears to be downright exhausted. Following his health complications, the artist decided to continue on with his world tour – though looking back, he was not ready.
Justin revealed that he is doing just fine, though in his statement, he did confirm that the tour will be canceled as he focuses on bettering his health.
“After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour,” he wrote. “I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me … After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now.”
