Justin Bieber upset by unauthorized full-frontal nudes; his dad, not so much

Justin Bieber’s beast is on the loose -- and he’s not happy about it.

Full-frontal nudes of the pop singer, taken while he was on vacation in Bora Bora with rumored girlfriend Jayde Pierce, were purchased by the New York Daily News, which published them online Wednesday in a slide show online that had the naughty bits, front and back, getting the black bar treatment.

Of course, the unedited pictures made it online as well, because that’s what happens with naked pictures.

Bieber’s legal team sent the Daily News a cease-and-desist letter Thursday, alleging that distribution of the unauthorized pictures constitutes a violation of their client’s publicity and privacy rights, with a little trademark infringement thrown in for good measure, according to the Hollywood Reporter. A lawsuit has been threatened if the newspaper doesn’t comply, THR said.

But TMZ speculated that it’s unlikely anyone will sue, because it’s heard that once the pictures were leaked, the 21-year-old got over his anger because, well, he makes a good impression.

In the long-lens paparazzi pictures, the singer makes his way from what seems to be an island villa into an adjacent pool or spa, where in a private setting skinny dipping would be entirely appropriate.

However, the “What Do You Mean” singer’s dad, Jeremy Bieber, seemed less concerned about privacy rights and more interested in bragging rights Friday morning.

“@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy,” the 40-year-old tweeted, including a blushing, laughing emoji. Mmm-hmm, this is the same dad who was alleged to be sparking up with his son and his son’s entourage on a private plane flight from Canada to New Jersey around Super Bowl time in February while joining his offspring in hassling the flight attendant.
