Recently, amid the drama of the underground fight between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez being mentioned loudly on social networks, Justin Bieber ‘s past when he first started his career was suddenly dug up. This time, the public saw the child star’s halo shining on the male singer at that time from a different perspective.

On the TikTok platform, a fan painstakingly dug up interview videos in which Justin Bieber was repeatedly the victim of inappropriate behavior from adults around him. The footage quickly attracted the attention of millions of people, with many commenting that they were sorry for what Bieber had to go through as a teenager.

The teenager was dragged out by adults to make vulgar jokes.

Justin Bieber was scouted by a talent agency when he was just 12 years old. By the time he was 15, the teenager had become a global phenomenon, sought after by the media and constantly interviewed on multiple platforms. However, these events also inadvertently made Bieber the victim of many vulgar jokes.

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

That same 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 big breasts? Do you know what a French kiss is?”

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

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

McCarthy hugged Justin Bieber and kissed him on the neck and butt while presenting him with an award. Justin Bieber was clearly taken aback by the actress’s display of affection, who is 22 years his senior, and tried to pull away. Bieber was so upset that he began his acceptance speech by saying, “I feel like I’ve been violated.” Jenny McCarthy, in an interview with Access Hollywood shortly after, defended herself by saying, “I couldn’t help myself. He was so delicious.”

Even though he has gone through puberty and lost his youthful innocence, in his twenties, Justin Bieber has still been “frozen” a few times by inappropriate jokes about his body from adults. In 2015, Bieber was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and got into a funny situation. Ellen DeGeneres showed a series of nude photos of Bieber taken by paparazzi on a big screen, in front of the entire studio.

In 2016, in his memoir Sing to Me , American record mogul LA Reid described 14-year-old Justin Bieber as “beautiful, like a woman.” Reid recalled the first time he met Bieber: “He was beautiful, like a woman can be but a man can rarely be, and that beauty shone through as soon as he appeared.”

In 2020, during 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, to prevent her from having to go through the same unhappy things he had.

“I struggled when I was young in the entertainment industry and didn’t know where to go; everyone would say they loved me and then turn their backs on me in the blink of an eye. I want to protect her, 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 me, she can pick up the phone and call me,” Bieber confided.

Noisy personal life overshadows musical career

Justin Bieber is famous and a significant part of his life will be in the public eye. But that does not mean that people treat him like an object and freely comment, judge or even touch him without permission in front of many people. It seems that, in the eyes of senior artists at that time, Bieber was just a pretty boy that they freely made vulgar jokes about, knowing for sure that the other person would not be able to react.

As for Bieber, because he was younger in both age and career, he had no chance to speak up or take action to defend himself other than weak defenses like “I find this question strange”. In front of the media at that time, it seemed that the young Justin Bieber had his personal rights taken away, becoming an exhibition object that everyone had the right to comment on. Bieber was probably worse than an exhibition object, because he could not attach a sign “Do not touch the object” to himself.

The media’s indiscretion, along with the pressure of early fame, 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 “uncaged” from his teenage star image, but also the darkest days for the singer who had just turned 20, when every few months, the audience had to hear news of his unruly behavior or his reckless attitude.

In January 2014, Los Angeles police searched Justin Bieber’s Calabasas, California, home for evidence after the singer was accused of vandalizing a neighbor’s property, causing $20,000 in damage. Less than a week later, Justin Bieber was arrested for drunk driving, driving with an expired license, and resisting arrest. During this time, Justin Bieber began using drugs, a fact the singer himself admitted in a 2019 Instagram post.

“I started using drugs at 19 and made every relationship a living hell. I became angry, disrespectful to women, and unstable. I distanced myself from people who loved me and hid behind a shell of indifference. I felt like I would 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 been less turbulent. The male singer admitted that he had found the peace he had been looking for for a long time in his marriage with Baldwin. “I am now living the brightest phase of my life called ‘marriage’!! Life as a couple is wonderful, crazy and puts us in front of many new responsibilities. You will learn patience, trust, loyalty, kindness, humor and all the other qualities that make a good man” – Bieber wrote in an Instagram post in 2019.

However, trouble continued to come to the small family when every few weeks, 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 “drama” between Justin Bieber’s wife and ex-lover to conflict between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez.

Over the past decade, Justin Bieber has been diligently making music; and, whether quickly or slowly, new products are released every year. However, among the search results obtained when typing the keyword Justin Bieber on the Internet, his music seems to be the last thing to be interested in. Above that is the eternal story: where Justin Bieber’s wife goes and what she does, what Justin Bieber’s wife says and how Selena Gomez reacts, what Justin Bieber says about his wife’s actions…

At the age of 29, Justin Bieber is still being dragged into a love drama that he actively withdrew from in 2018 when he decided to marry Hailey Baldwin. It seems that the Canadian singer has never had the chance to live a peaceful life or the right to forget the things he wants to forget and say no to things that make him uncomfortable. As a teenager, people ignored Justin Bieber’s discomfort when touched. As an adult, it seems that the public doesn’t care that the music star wants to put a page of his love story into oblivion.
