Selena Gomez Denies Orlando Bloom Romance; Was Justin Bieber Protecting Her During Fight? (VIDEO)
Selena Gomez recently denied reports linking her to Orlando Bloom following the actor's fight with her ex Justin Bieber.
On Wednesday, fans were shocked to see video footage of Bloom, 37, taking a swing at Bieber, 20, in Ibiza, Spain. The pair reportedly clashed outside of a popular nightclub which prompted the English actor to throw a punch, but Gomez has denied reports claiming she was the reason behind the fight, according to TMZ.com.
Bloom's estranged wife Miranda Kerr, 31, has also been cited as another possible reason behind the feud, however, both the actor and Bieber have yet to publicly confirm what exactly happened.

One report claims Bieber was simply defending Gomez, 21, because he believes Bloom has been spreading gossip about the former Disney star.
In April, Gomez, who has dated Bieber on and off since 2011, was photographed with Bloom at a Chelsea Handler show taping. The following month the pair posed for photos together at a We Day event.
"Orlando has been talking smack about Justin to everyone for the past couple of years, so this was pretty much going to happen eventually, this is just the first time they've been in the same room," a source told HollywoodLife.com. "Justin hates him because he heard that Orlando has been telling people he got with Selena as a payback to Justin, that really pissed Justin off."
Bieber and Kerr, who separated from Bloom last year, partied together back in 2012 after a Victoria's Secret show in New York and romance rumors have been swirling ever since. The Australian model previously denied there is any truth to the reports.
The "Confident" singer is said to be still in love with Gomez which is why he feels "protective" of her.
"Whatever he's done to Selena, Justin's very protective of her. He doesn't like the thought of Orlando using her in some sick game," said the source. "He's still in love with her and he's been trying to get her to talk to him again."
