Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin looked unfazed as they popped out for lunch amid the Scooter Braun drama.

The married couple was spotted grabbing lunch together on Wednesday at Il Pastaio in Los Angeles, after Justin became embroiled in the ugly feud between Taylor Swift and Scooter.

The singer let his T-shirt do the talking as he appeared nonchalant in the Californian sun, just days after sticking up for his manager.

Wearing an unbothered emoji on his top – the smiley replaced its actual smile with the word ‘drew’ – JB and his wife were pictured getting into a car just before bumping into real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, who is father to models Gigi and Bella.

As Hailey hugged the father of her two friends, she appeared to have dropped some jewellery on the floor and we can only hope she managed to retrieve it.

This comes as the Biebs became a punching bag of sorts by Taylor’s fans after he attempted to apologise to the hitmaker, before turning it around and slamming her for coming for Scooter – amid Tay’s claims the mogul bought her early masters from underneath her without warning.

Meanwhile, Hailey wore small denim shorts, white trainers and a beige cover-up as she looked equally as disconcerted following closely behind her husband.

The model also put herself in the ring firmly as team Scooter when she responded to her husband’s post with: ‘Gentleman.’

Hailey then found herself in the firing line, as the other side prepared for battle – with Cara Delevingne outwardly disagreeing with her comment.

‘Gentleman? @haileybieber @justinbieber you must be bored,’ the model commented on Instagram. ‘I wish you spent less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women and respecting their valid reactions.

‘As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened. I am not sure you actually understand what an apology is.

‘This issue that @taylorswift is talking out is about far more than a picture and you know that.’

On her Tumblr page, Taylor accused Scooter of ‘bullying’ her in the wake of the news that he bought her catalogue when his company purchased Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Label Group, the singer’s former label.

Big Machine owns the singer’s back catalogue from her 2006 debut album to Reputation which was released in 2017. Criticising Borchetta, the ME! singer said: ‘This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term “loyalty” is clearly just a contractual concept.’

Since then it seems she’s been surrounded by a legion of supporters, with the likes of Halsey, Harry Styles and Little Mix all deleting Scooter from social media in the wake of the palaver.

Halsey wrote a post about it, backing Taylor and saying: ‘Taylor Swift is a huge reason why I always insisted to write my own music. I believed if she did it than I should too.’

That’s not to say Scooter doesn’t have his own power players in his corner, with Sia coming out in defence of the manager.

She’s been joined by Demi Lovato, while Ed Sheeran, who counts Taylor as a mate but is also tight with Scooter is, being ever the diplomat after saying he’s speaking with Taylor privately.
