Recently, while the “underground drama” between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez was mentioned loudly on social networks, Justin Bieber’s early career past was also suddenly dug up. This time, the public sees the child star’s glory shining on the male singer at that time from a different perspective.

On the TikTok platform, a fan painstakingly rediscovered interview videos in which Justin Bieber repeatedly became a victim of rude behavior from the adults around him. The video quickly attracted the attention of millions, with comments expressing how sorry they were for what Bieber had to go through as a teenager.

The teenager was teased by adults

Justin Bieber caught the eye of a talent agency when he was just 12 years old. By the age of 15, the teenager became a global phenomenon, sought after by the media, and continuously interviewed on many platforms. However, these events also unintentionally caused Bieber to repeatedly become the victim of vulgar jokes.

At the age of 15, Justin Bieber was once asked by a female newscaster: “My parents never talk about sex education with their children. Why don’t you share about sex education with me?”. The pop star immediately responded that he felt very uncomfortable with this question. “Why do you want to hear about sex education from a 15 year old boy? That’s so strange.”

Also that year, on another radio show, Justin Bieber was asked if he liked French girls. When Bieber said yes, the announcer asked: “Why? Because of their huge busts? Do you know what a French kiss is?”.

In 2011, when he was 16 years old, Justin Bieber attended the BRIT Awards and had a short conversation with host James Corden. In the interview video, Corden sat at Bieber’s table and repeatedly mentioned how “sweet” the male singer was. The Canadian singer was visibly upset when asked how old he was. When Bieber answered the British MC that he was 16, Corden pretended to be surprised, “I don’t remember when I was 16 I smelled like that. Look at his eyes!”.

In 2012, media cameras also caught Katty Perry touching Justin Bieber’s butt when the two met backstage at a performance in London. Also that year, on stage at the AMAs awards ceremony, actress Jenny McCarthy also acted inappropriately towards a male singer who had just turned 18.

McCarthy hugged Justin Bieber and kissed him on the neck and touched the singer’s buttocks when giving him the award. Justin Bieber was clearly frightened by the way the actress, 22 years older than him, expressed his love and tried to escape. Bieber was so upset that he began his acceptance speech by sharing, “Right now I feel like I’ve just been violated.” Jenny McCarthy, in an interview with Access Hollywood not long after, defended: “I can’t help it. The guy looks so delicious.”

Even though he had gone through puberty and lost his youthful innocence, when he was in his twenties, Justin Bieber still “died” a few more times because of an unflattering adult joke related to his body. In 2015, Bieber guested on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and fell into a situation that was both funny and crying. Ellen DeGeneres showed a series of Bieber’s shower photos stolen by paparazzi on the big screen, in front of the entire studio.

In 2016, in his memoir Sing to Me, American record tycoon LA Reid once commented on 14-year-old Justin Bieber as “beautiful, like a woman”. Reid recalled the memory of the first time he met Bieber: “That child was beautiful, like the beauty that a woman can have and men are rare, and that beauty brightened as soon as the boy appeared.”

In 2020, in an interview with Zane Lowe from Apple Music, Justin Bieber couldn’t hold back his tears when he expressed that he wanted to protect Billie Eilish, avoiding her from having to go through unhappy things like he did.

“I struggled when I entered the entertainment industry at a young age and didn’t know where to go; everyone said they loved me and then turned their backs on me in the blink of an eye. I wanted to protect you.” Well, I don’t want her to suffer. I don’t want her to go through anything like I did. I don’t want anyone to go through anything like that. So if she needs it, she can You can pick up the phone and call me right away,” Bieber confided.

His noisy personal life obscures his musical career

Justin Bieber is famous and a significant part of his life will belong to the public. But that doesn’t mean people treat him like an object and freely comment, comment or even touch him without permission in front of so many people’s eyes. It seemed that, in the eyes of the senior artists at that time, Bieber was just a pretty boy that they casually joked about, knowing that the other person wouldn’t be able to react.

As for Bieber, because he is younger in both age and career, he has no opportunity to speak up or take action to defend himself other than weak defenses like “I find this question strange”. Standing in front of the media at that time, it seemed that teenager Justin Bieber had been robbed of his personal rights, becoming an exhibition item that everyone had the right to comment on. Bieber probably even lost an exhibit, because he couldn’t attach a sign “Do not touch the artifacts” on himself.

The media’s vulgarity, along with the pressure of becoming famous too soon, had a strong impact on Bieber’s psychology – but not in a positive way. The period 2013-2014 marked the time when Justin Bieber was “unleashed” from the image of a teenage star, but also the darkest days of the male singer who had just turned 20 when every few months, audiences Instead, I have to hear that you behaved arrogantly or showed a careless attitude.

In January 2014, Los Angeles police searched Justin Bieber’s house in Calabasas, California to find evidence after the singer was accused of destroying his neighbor’s property with a total loss of up to $20,000. . Less than a week later, Justin Bieber continued to be arrested for drunk driving, using an expired driver’s license and resisting law enforcement officers. Also during this time, Justin Bieber began using drugs. The information was admitted by the male singer himself in a 2019 Instagram post.

“I started using drugs when I was 19 and turned all my relationships into hell. I became irritable, disrespectful of women and unstable all the time. I kept my distance from my loved ones myself and hide myself behind a shell of carelessness. I feel like I will never recover,” Justin Bieber wrote.

Since 2018, after marrying Hailey Baldwin just 6 months after breaking up with Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber’s personal life has become less turbulent. The male singer admitted that he had long sought peace in his marriage with Baldwin. “Now I’m living in the brightest phase of my life called ‘marriage’!! Couple life is wonderful, crazy and puts us in front of many new responsibilities. You will learn to be patient, trust, loyal, kind, funny and all the other qualities to be a good man” – Bieber wrote in an Instagram post in 2019.

However, trouble still came to the small family when within a few months, the suspicion of discord between Hailey Baldwin – now Hailey Bieber – and Selena Gomez was discussed and dissected online. Over time, the never-ending incident gradually changed its name from a “drama” between Justin Bieber’s wife and ex-lover to a conflict between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez.
