Marg Helgenberger has said that she "couldn't believe" the fuss caused when she was reported to have called Justin Bieber a "brat".
The CSI star made the comments about Bieber after the popstar filmed a pair of guest appearances on the show.
"He was kind of a brat," Helgenberger was quoted as saying. "He was very nice to me, but he locked one of the producers in a closet, and he put his fist through a cake that was on the actors' table."
Bieber responded at the time: "It's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind."
Helgenberger has now told Metro: "I couldn't believe what happened with that. I never thought I'd get that sort of reaction.
"That was all from an interview I did with a French radio show. I had a translator, so I think maybe something was lost in translation."
Asked if she was bombarded with hate messages on Twitter from fans of Bieber, she added: "If I tweeted I would have done."
Helgenberger recently confirmed that the next season of CSI will be her last after previously hinting at an exit. She will be replaced by Elisabeth Shue.
