London, May 30 (IANS) Teenage singing star Justin Bieber is unhappy with reports that he caused a scene on the set of an Australian talk show by swearing at a crew member.

The 16-year-old allegedly cursed at a floor manager who directed him to the performance stage. Bieber has now taken to the internet to rubbish reports, insisting his bad behaviour is just ‘gossip’, reports contactmusic.com.

In a series of posts on his Twitter.com page, he writes: ‘Family time with my mom couldn’t come at a better time… I was raised to respect others and not gossip… nor answer gossip with anger.

‘I know my friends, family and fans know the person I am. Hearing adults spread lies and rumours is part of the job I guess. But… all I have to say is… kill ’em with kindness. So everyone keep smiling… we are all blessed and I am still grateful and appreciate the opportunity you have all given me to do what I love.’
