Justin Bieber is all over the place. He’s grown up in the spotlight and has reached success at such a young age. He’s 19 years old and continually dominates the music charts. Not to mention he’s the recipient of numerous Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, MTV Awards, already has a documentary about his career and has racked up two Grammy nominations. In addition, he accounted for 3% of all Twitter traffic in 2010, according to Buiness Insider. However, he seems to be all over the news lately are more in the negative light than positive. He was recently attacked at a Canadian nightclub by a non-fan. His behavior is leading us to beliebe he is trying to shed his younger image. Maybe it’s the fame…. Or maybe it’s being a teenager, but, it looks like the days of the adorable zip up hoodie wearing Canadian boy singing “U Got it Bad” on YouTube and serenading us with “One Time” are on hiatus.

Justin was photographed smoking weed while hanging out with Lil Twist according to TMZ.

Hearts were broken in London’s O2 Arena when Biebs didn’t show up onstage until two hours after he was set to begin. Digital Spy recorded that kids were falling asleep and crying at the concert. London’s train system, the Tube, even had to operate past hours.

Also in March, Lil Twist caused yet more car problems for Justin when he crashed his crome Fisker Karma into cement poles at a liquor store in San Fernando Valley and proceeded to flee the scene, according to TMZ.
The car was an eighteenth birthday gift to Justin from manager Scooter Braun.

Biebs gets in trouble with his Calabasas gated community, The Oaks, for driving his white Ferrari too fast through the neighborhood. A neighbor told E! News, “He just feels like he is above the law.”

Then…Justin allegedly spit on fans from his hotel balcony in Toronto. While there is a photo of the singer spitting from the balcony (no fans are visible in the pic), his rep claimed that Justin was NOT spitting on fans and that TMZ superimposed the photo. TMZ claimed they did no such thing.

August 2013

Justin’s mom, Pattie Mallette certainly understands the world’s concern for her son. In an interview with Mario Lopez, Pattie said, “If it affects the world the way it does, imagine how it affects me as a mom seeing these headlines”, Daily Mail reported.

When asked about her opinion on Justin’s friends in the interview, Mallette answered, “I don’t know how to answer that.” Lopez responded with, “You just did.
And of course the most recent Bieber dilemma. Justin was attacked leaving a Canadian nightclub. Though it’s unclear whether the man was angry, or just an extreme fan, Justin’s security handled the situation. They didn’t however, handle the $40,000 chain Justin was wearing that was reportedly lost or stolen during the altercation according to Inquisiter.

Luckily Justin has a lot of support. It’s more than just fans and his mom hoping he can clean up his act. His manager Scooter Braun has stood by Justin from the beginning and recently announced that they are working on a new movie.

The teenager also has multiple celebs including Will Smith, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers defending him, claiming he is in a time of growth. Mark Wahlberg, who had his fair share of troubles when he was young, offered his advice to Justin as well.

In an interview with E! Wahlberg gave compassion to the star for growing up in the spotlight, but also offered some advice, "Don't be so naughty. Be a nice boy. Pull your trousers up. Make your mum proud. Stop smoking all that weed, you little bastard."
