Three instances where Justin Bieber was harassed and sexualized in public
Case Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs It is already one of the most famous scandals in 2024. His numerous accusations of abuse and sex trafficking have resurfaced with videos, testimonies and rumors of all kinds that increase the seriousness of the rapper’s situation and that could lead him to a life sentence in a short time. But among all these edges, there is a name that attracts attention just as it did in the early years as an artist: justin bieber.
When the rapper was once again in the press spotlight, an old video titled “48 Hours of Justin Bieber with Diddy!” from when the Canadian singer was early in his career and a minor. Since then, there has been speculation as to whether their closeness to each other was one of the triggers for the deep depression Bieber suffered years later.
Justin has already talked about this last aspect at length in his documentary Justin Bieber: The Next Chaptersuggesting that the aggressive and erratic behavior he exhibited on repeated occasions during his most controversial years was the result of years of aggression, criticism, insults and more, leading him to consider himself a “truly suicidal” person.
After resuming a interview where he talked about Billie Eilish and how he wanted to protect her from the same thing that happened to him when he was rising to fame, managed to save some videos on social networks where Justin harassed and sexualized in public in front of hundreds of witnesses. The recordings are causing such outrage that some users are asking the singer to at least wait for a public apology.
What happened to Justin Bieber on those occasions when no one helped him? Who were his attackers and what happened to them afterwards?
In 2012, the Canadian became one of the big winners of the competition American Music Awards took home three major awards, including the prestigious Artist of the Year award. But what was supposed to be a celebration of her musical success quickly turned into one of the most embarrassing moments of her career thanks to the presence of the comedian and former Playboy model. Jenny McCarthy.
During the Best Pop Album Awards, McCarthy, who was hosting, surprised Bieber by approaching kiss her neck and squeeze her ass. A visibly surprised Bieber remarked on stage: “I’m feeling a little disturbed right now.before continuing his acceptance speech. At that time he had a singer 18 years old age.
In a later interview, McCarthy humorously explained his actions. “I grabbed his ass when he went up for the prize. I couldn’t help it, the baby is a delight and has a very small ass. “I’d eat the whole thing if they’d let me,” he joked in statements he posted Bang Showbiz.
Before that, in 2007, Jenny was announced as a spokesperson for Talk About Curing Autism, an organization that aims to educate people about treating autism (her only son has the disorder). She is currently one of the panelists of an American music reality show Masked singer and is married to actor Donnie Wahlberg. In addition, she is very active on her social media, where she has already received some comments for her behavior towards Justin in the past.
Talk show connoisseurs know who he is. James Cordenbecause he is one of the most famous British TV presenters in the world thanks to his show The Late Late Show with James Cordenwhere he had guests of all kinds. He’s a popular comedian in the industry, but after the recent Bieber controversy, a video has resurfaced online where he appears to be “subtly” unsettled by an interviewer.
The singer was barely 16 years old when he first attended one of the most famous ceremonies in British music: BRIT Awards 2011. In one of the show’s segments, Corden sat at a table with Bieber to conduct a short interview and tap into the emotion beliebers for his idol, who was in the English lands that night.
Everything was going well, but it soon got weird when James said: “Can I say it? “Lean into me again… you smell amazing, how old are you?”. Surprised and with an awkward smile, Justin just answered “Uhmmmmm… thank you”. A little further, as if distracted by being stared at, Corden pointed out “Wow… look at your eyes” and then pointed out that she has a “beautiful face.”
Of course, there are those on social networks who make light of the situation by saying that it was just “British humor”, while others are more strict and point to a possible “pedophile hiding in plain sight”. Be that as it may, the truth is that many years later, Justin has performed many times The Late Late Show with James Cordenstars in several viral moments with Corden, so it’s clear Bieber had no personal issues with him.
As with singer Jenny McCarthy Katy Perry is also on the list of recently restored Justin Bieber videos. It was 2012 and Justin was already one of the most sought after singers in the world and his fame had risen to a level that even he couldn’t have imagined because not only were his fans dying to see him, but even other celebrities wanted to see him in person .
Exactly as he defined it buzzfeedthe author of “Hot n Cold” did not think and “Fumbled” Bieber when they crossed paths backstage at a concert in London. That year, the American star was 28 years old, while the Canadian was only 18, and as can be seen in the video, he touched her bottom.
While those defending Bieber on social media pointed out that this was unacceptable behavior, the truth is that Perry has not spoken about the issue again. Neither does Justin, although on that occasion, as can be easily heard at the end of the video, the pop artist, noticing Katy’s hand, smiles and tells her “You can do this forever if you want..
If the latter is compared to McCarthy’s situation, where Justin can clearly be seen trying to avoid groping the former Playboy model, Perry’s clip seems less severe (though still inappropriate) and more indicative of a joke between the two celebrities. However, given the recent situation, these clips show the sexualization that Bieber was exposed to from an early age.
