Justin Bieber put in chokehold after being kicked out of Coachella [with video]

Justin Bieber was kicked out of Coachella Sunday night, but not before he was placed in a chokehold ... TMZ has learned.

Bieber and his entourage walked to the artist's entrance where Drake was performing, when they were stopped by security and told the area was at capacity and they couldn't come in. Bieber and his crew showed security they had the proper wristbands to gain entry.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ, Bieber argued with security, saying there was no way he could stand in a big crowd because he'd get bombarded by fans. Security wasn't having it and told him to leave.

We're told Bieber persisted and said he was personally invited by Drake and had been waiting all weekend to see him perform. Bieber didn't stand down and security was pissed.

At that point a Coachella staffer came up to Bieber and said she would escort him inside the artist's area. She grabbed Bieber by the arm and began walking him and his security team inside, when Coachella security came up from behind and put Bieber in a chokehold.

We're told Bieber's team got into it with security and the singer was then ordered to leave the festival.

Sources close to Bieber say he voluntarily left, and they're considering taking legal action against the security guards.

Poor thing. Why was he showing up halfway thru Drake's concert though?

If the area is at capacity there isn't much security can do, you can't have different rules for different people.

It's odd that he had the proper wristbands and still wasn't allowed in though. It seems like they are in the wrong in this regard. Either they sold too many VIP bands, they allowed people in that shouldn't be in, or the security guards where just picking on Justin.

Good luck with fixing his image like his label is trying to do. At this point he could go out for some air and something messy would happen  

But if according to the story, he was already being walked in by the Coachella staff, then the chokehold was a little too exta

I can't get the video to work for me but from the short article it seems Bieber had a point. He would have gotten mauled by fans in the main area, and more importantly he had a wristband.

But if according to the story, he was already being walked in by the Coachella staff, then the chokehold was a little too exta  

​Basically. It sounds like the guards are in the wrong here.

For once, it seems as if Bieber wasn't in the wrong here. Sounds as if the security guy had a personal problem with him and went too far.
