TORONTO — Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsay Lohan were among those in an Ibiza restaurant who cheered when actor Orlando Bloom took a swing at pop star Justin Bieber, according to reports.
(On The Tonight Show on Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon quipped: “Orlando’s hand was pretty sore today. You know, from all the high-fives he got.”)
Skolkova said Bieber, 20, provoked Bloom, 37, at Cirpriani’s restaurant.
She said Bloom was having dinner with DiCaprio and friends when Bieber wandered over and said something.
“Orlando got very, very angry,” recalled Skolkova.
Earlier reports of the incident suggested Bieber taunted Bloom with a comment about his ex wife, model Miranda Kerr. The New York Post reported Bieber said: “She was good.”
Skolkova said after Bieber got a few metres away, Bloom got up, jumped over a sofa and took a swing at the Canadian pop star.
“Then the security came and tried to separate them,” she told The Mirror, which posted Skolkova’s video of the incident.
She said the singer was asked to leave the restaurant. Bieber reportedly took a parting shot, telling Bloom: “Say ‘hi’ to her.”
TMZ, however, offered a completely different version of events. The gossip site reported the fight started when Bieber extended his hand to Bloom, who refused. The singer asked “What’s your problem?” and started to walk away.
Reps for Bloom and Bieber have not commented on the altercation.
Bloom and Kerr, who have a son together, separated in early 2013 after three years of marriage.
The New York Post quoted a friend of the actor suggesting Bloom “never looked at her the same” after Bieber was photographed with Kerr at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2012.
In April, Bloom was photographed having a cigarette with Bieber’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Bieber was photographed Wednesday on a yacht with Australian model Shanina Shaik, who split from Tyson Beckford last year.
