Our well-connected Bieber sources tell TMZ … photog Chris Guerra made Justin’s life hell … following and chasing him at every opportunity.
The source also said that Bieber had “very little respect” for Guerra:
But was trying not to say anything out of respect for the family, but Chris made it “very difficult by telling this guy (his friend) lies about Justin.”
In the wake of the accident, the pop singer did release a statement sending his thoughts and prayers to the Guerra family:
“While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim. Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves.”
