Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly cheered when Orlando Bloom threw a punch at Justin Bieber
Though TMZ broke the news of Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber's alleged altercation in Ibiza, Spain, on Wednesday, new developments are still coming to light.
On Thursday, an "eyewitness" from the scene, former Spanish journalist Anastasia Skolkova, told The Mirror that Leonardo DiCaprio was also present at Cipriani — and he reportedly cheered when Bloom attempted to sock Bieber.
"It was amazing," Skolkova told The Mirror. "Everyone stood up and started watching like it was a show and clapping... DiCaprio was flipping out."

TMZ's original report claimed that onlookers clapped when Bloom attempted to punch Bieber. According to Skolkova's account, DiCaprio was sitting at Bloom's table in the restaurant when the fight occurred.
The fight allegedly occurred after Bieber reportedly told Bloom that Miranda Kerr, the model from whom he is currently separated, "was good," thought to be a sexual reference.
