Belligerent Bieber responded with, what Seven News thought, was an expletive ridden rant.Â
"A foul-mouth tirade on the normally tranquil Makepeace Island," reporter Mackenzie Ravn said before the footage cut to Bieber flipping the bird at the cameras.

"We're in Australia, we all know you have potty mouths," Bieber shouted at the camera, stationed on a boat just off the island which sits in the Noosa River on the Sunshine Coast.

But not all was as it seemed.
On Wednesday, Bieber, who is performing shows around Australia, took to Instagram to provide an explanation for his less than gentlemanly behaviour.
"I said 'puck you, miss'," he said to the camera as he strolled along the island.
"There's a difference between bullying and joking around, I was joking around."
Those eagle... err... eared amongst us would immediately be able to identify what's happening here.
Summoning his best islander accent (about as good as Chris Lilley's, to be fair) Bieber was paying tribute to the iconic Australian comedy series Summer Height's High and the breakout star of the show, Jonah from Tonga.
The 20-second video, sent out to his 80 million Instagram followers and watched more than a million times so far, continues the tribute.
