  1. I have been in a situation where people around me gossiped and speculated whether my SA was real or not. It’s a horrible, isolated feeling knowing exactly what is going through people’s minds when they look at you. No one, especially an SA survivor, deserves this

    Leave this man alone. Yes he was treated awful by the industry. No we don’t know for sure what happened.
    If it did all this is ripping a scab off for him and he now has to deal again what happened and now speculation of the whole fucking world.

    I pray Justin gets the peace he deserves and Diddy gets the justice he deserves

  4. My heart is so broken for him. Watching old footage of how inappropriate adults were when interacting with him breaks my heart. He was just a little kid.

  6. I’ve been seeing so many fake news posted on Facebook about Justin admitting he slept with Diddy and not a single person questioned if it was real. That is incredibly dangerous and heartless. Hope he stays strong through this.

  7. It’s weird that Usher is being positioned as both a victim and an abuser, but Bieber is only seen as a victim.

  8. I wish the media, and people in general, would just leave him alone and stop trying to center him on this sickness. Focus the story on the destruction Sean Combs caused, lets not put potential victims in the middle of a spotlight they don’t want to be in.

  9. JayZ and Bieber been in the news more than the actual assaulter.

  11. Justin Bieber’s story is a haunting reflection of how fame can warp reality. From a young age, he was thrust into the spotlight, his life becoming a spectacle for millions. But in doing so, the world failed him in the deepest sense. The industry that promised to nurture his talent instead commodified him, turning his every action into something to be consumed, dissected, and judged. The weight of fame at such an early age stripped away his sense of self before he even had the chance to fully develop it.

    In a way, Bieber became a mirror for society’s obsession with fame and youth, embodying the eerie truth that those we idolize often lose themselves in the process. He was surrounded by people, but in the most profound sense, he was alone. Fame isolated him, distorting his reality and leading him into the darker corners of his psyche. The eerie part? Society continues to do this, time and again, to young stars, exploiting their vulnerabilities for entertainment.

    But there’s hope. Despite being failed by the world around him, Bieber’s story isn’t one of total despair. He’s found ways to reclaim his narrative, rebuild his identity, and heal. His journey reflects the resilience of the human spirit, the ability to rise above even the deepest failures of others. In the end, it’s a reminder that no matter how lost someone might seem, there’s always a path to recovery and redemption.

  12. I can see why he wouldn’t go after Diddy. He has a family and could be putting their lives in danger.

  13. He’s doing good now and has a family. Got out and got good. Everyday ain’t easy but he’s still here. Just watched Johnny Manziel doc, these guys put up with a lot of bs in this world. 

  15. I have 100% always supported Justin. It was obvious he was troubled and struggling. It pissed me off greatly he was bullied so hard by the media. I didn’t even listen to his music that much, just saw a child/young man struggling and acting out.

    Honestly, we all just need to practice more compassion for other humans. What did we learn from Brittany?

  16. Poor Justin. When is he going to get a break! Piss off with that bs.

  17. Wasn’t it people being quiet about Diddy in the first place that led to all this? Now lets just keep everyone quiet again so less witnesses and evidence against Diddy…

    Rose McGowan had the balls to go public and go after Weinstein to ensure he was stopped and got what he deserved for what he did to all those girls.

    Are we really saying he should keep quiet about Diddy? Damn… alot of people here seem to think victims should be quiet…

  18. Remember that time he spit on fans from a balcony. Good guy.

  20. He wasn’t failed, he was sacrificed. Everyone knew what was happening then, everyone knows what’s happening now. No one stopped it then, no one is stopping it now. If Diddys going down, it’s because his role has already been replaced.

  21. Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Kei$ha, Justin Beber– funny how the people youth counter culture/internet culture doubled down on hating in their time so often get re assessed a decade later and we feel bad for how they were treated.

  22. *******I feel so many of us go through some of the same things to obtain the same ends, but never come close to acquiring the same end stability in a sense if I said this right…*******

  23. Just say the quiet part out loud already:

    LOTS OF BLACK RAPPERS, ATHLETES AND ELITES RAPED AND MOLESTED JUSTIN BIEBER WHEN HE WAS A MINOR.

    This soft/elusive language is an attempt to soften or blunt the atrocities.

    You must confront the evil to its face, not beat around the proverbial bush.

  25. The music industry is fucked up place looking at Bieber and Britney Spears, uses people for profit with no regard for the effect it has on them.

  26. He is a very talented guy that wanted to be a famous singer. He wanted that just as much as his parents however his parents let him party with adults in that industry which is incredibly irresponsible. He has everything he wants and more and so do his parents they are super blessed. I hope someday he can talk about the traumas he went through and can move on. I hope he writes new music at some point and finds a way to be happy.

  27. I think we need to remember this he has a ton of shit to process right now

    He has a new baby and that’s so taxing even on new dads
    He’s tried very hard to keep this information private and out of his mind now there’s a chance all of this could come out in court against his wishes

    I really feel for him

  28. So shocking. I never cared much for JB but if all of this pans out as true, I feel pretty awful for him

  29. None of you all cared then because assault isn’t assault when boys are the victims.

  30. Justin is so talented. Truly an amazing artist and has everything from birth to make him a star.

    But it is important to understand that without the music industry, which is run mostly be very bad people, we never would have heard of him. We’d love to believe true talents just rise to the top and occasionally that does happen. But there’s a reason why people sacrificed him to the evil ones, because they really do control the industry and the industry does make careers possible.

    The internet was supposed to change this hold they have but it hasn’t her realized that potential.

  31. It’s ok to not care what celebrities do outside of their performances

  32. I never liked him until last week now my heart goes out to this man.

  33. I forgot who made the joke but they said America is the worst, Canada gave you a beautiful young child and you turned him into Justin Bieber. He never stood a chance, just another sad story of a child celebrity.
