Rita Ora came to Justin Bieber's defense. "I feel like anyone who had a hand in their face is going to protect themselves," she commented on Bieber punching a fan who reached out his hand into the star's car in an attempt to touch his face.

"I'm not speaking for anybody, but knowing him and his incredible background, I know how it feels to be uncomfortable and scared," she told Metro. "There are definitely moments where [fans] cross over the boundary of it becoming almost scary."
