Controversies' favourite child Justin Bieber is now under fire for his alleged rude refusal to take a photo with Ronda Rousey’s sister, Julie Rousey, during a UFC promotional media tour at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014.

The straight-talking UFC women’s bantamweight champion tells Cosmopolitan in an interview that her little sister, much like any other teenage girl, got excited when she spotted Justin Bieber taking photos with his fans.

“Justin Bieber was taking some pictures with some ladies and she [Julia Rousey] suddenly got really excited and was like, ‘Do you think he’d want to take a picture with me?’” recounts the current #1 pound for pound Women’s MMA fighter.

Ronda assured her sister that it’s fine to take photos with celebrities. She says, “I was like, ‘Sure Julie, don’t worry about it, everyone’s taking pictures today. Don’t feel bad, that’s why everybody’s here ... look at him, he’s a sweetheart.’”

Unfortunately, when the sisters approached Bieber, the “Never Say Never” star was not in a mood to pose with Julie, and according to Ronda, who did not mince her words, Justin Bieber was “really rude” to his sister.

When they approached him, Bieber told the sisters that he had already taken a billion pictures that day. He repeated “a billion” and then walked off. “…‘A billion’ and walks off and totally snubs my little sister,” Ronda says.

Both the sisters are now no longer Beliebers. “Yeah I don’t think I’d want to hang out with him. I’m not a Belieber. I was, but I’m not anymore,” Ronda says.

Ronda dethroned Floyd Mayweather Jr. as ESPY’s Fighter of the Year in July 15. The feud between both the fighters have been well documented by the media. Interesting enough, Justin Bieber is a good friend and supporter of Mayweather. The two were recently spotted vacationing together in Bora Bora.
