I'm still thinking about how Issei was starting to hate his smile right when Nekoyashiki complimented him and how it was meant as a way to protect himself from the pain of his family life and how Nekoyashiki never realized it because he was too captivated by how beautiful he found the smile to be to see the pain lurking behind it and how Issei embraced his smile because Nekoyashiki loved it and how that only made Nekoyashiki try to push him away more because he couldn't handle the joy.

I do not think Tsubasa was a bully in school. Tsubasa being a bully would be lazy writing. I feel like Tsubasa has these reactions just before he turns on his tough exterior acting as a defense mechanism only Issei can see through, i.e. we can see Tsubasa reacting to the lady Issei brought at the end of the episode.
I believe the photos in the article look somewhat staged - I do understand this is a show and everyone is acting. However, my initial thought was he did get into a fight with this student, but not because he was bullying him. My original idea was the kid he had pinned to the wall was a bully, but I am not really sold on the kid being a bully. If I had to think of an reason, I would say the kid was someone close to Tsubasa allowing himself to give up and Tsubasa - being Tsubasa - attempted to "motivate/push" the boy like he does his group members. I just had a passing thought about the boy in the photo possibly bullying Tsubasa and this is a photo of Tsubasa finally standing up for himself - I am thinking the kid triggered Tsubasa into getting violent.
I think Tsubasa isn't a bully because:
Issei likes/adores him. As we can see from Issei's interaction with the reporter, Issei seems clueless but is very aware and thoughtful.
Tsubasa just accepted and announced he was a bully too quickly and easily. At his level of stardom, he could easily fight off these accusations.
Tsubasa's acceptance of the article felt like no one would believe him otherwise.
Tsubasa refuses to explain the context of the photo further.
Tsubasa attempts to escape to his safe space (gym).
Tsubasa looks hurt and heartbroken when he sees the antis outside the window.
These are all just fun speculations I am making. I am excited to see how it all plays out next week. I leave this to you scary Issei!

I’m not... forcing myself. But I do feel uneasy.

Remember how we use to talk at night like this, in high school? Yeah, you one-sidedly did. Even so, you always kept me company. That made me a happy guy.
