Disturbing footage of Justin Bieber being ‘violated’ as a teenager has left the internet outraged.
Recent revelations have cast a disturbing light on the early career of the popstar, as resurfaced footage depicts him as a teenager being subjected to uncomfortable and inappropriate interactions.
This compilation, which has garnered over 4 million views on TikTok, has ignited widespread outrage among viewers who are now calling for apologies from those involved and expressing deep concern for the singer’s past and present well-being.
This resurfaced footage arrives amidst ongoing public concern for Justin Bieber’s current well-being.
Now 31, Bieber has spent the majority of his life in the relentless glare of the public eye, transforming from a YouTube sensation to a global icon.
Recent reports have highlighted ‘erratic’ and ‘concerning’ behavior, including a verbal altercation with paparazzi and a shirtless, hollow-eyed appearance on an Instagram livestream.
In a series of recent and candid Instagram posts, Bieber has offered fans a glimpse into his struggles, making a heartbreaking confession about ‘asking God for help.’
Bieber described himself as a ‘flawed guy’ who has been ‘used,’ stating: “I sometimes think I’m gonna get exposed if I tell people how selfish I am. Like if I admitted that, maybe people wouldn’t like me or trust me.”
Bieber’s raw honesty continued as he spoke about his daily battles: “The truth is I wake up every morning. Some days I’m optimistic. Sometimes I wake up pessimistic. I can’t control how I’m gonna feel. I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective.”
He concluded by sharing his prayer: “I’ve been really asking god to help me see the best in people even after being used in the way I have.”
The overwhelming response to the ‘violating’ TikTok video has been one of anger and empathy for Bieber.
Viewers have slammed the ‘gross’ and ‘disturbing’ actions of those around him, with many expressing regret for not recognizing his discomfort at the time.
Words such as: “‘I feel violated right now.’ Because he was,” and “Good on him. He was aware and called out the weirdness but people just laughed it off,” flood the comment sections.
Demands for apologies from those who subjected him to such treatment are also prevalent, with one person stating: “This is painful, they all owe him an apology.”
The disturbing video showcases a series of clips where a young Justin Bieber, at times as young as 15, visibly reacts with discomfort to being touched and asked highly inappropriate questions by adults.
One of the most shocking instances involves an 18-year-old Bieber at the 2012 American Music Awards, being grabbed around the neck and repeatedly kissed by 40-year-old model and actress Jenny McCarthy.
As he finally breaks free, Bieber explicitly states: “Wow, I feel violated right now.” McCarthy later reportedly admitted to grabbing his butt and disturbingly commented that she ‘couldn’t help it, he was just so delicious.’
The compilation continues to highlight other troubling interactions, including Katy Perry grabbing his behind, James Corden telling a 16-year-old Bieber he ‘smells amazing’ and complimenting his eyes, and Ellen DeGeneres displaying a paparazzi photograph of Bieber in the nude to her audience.
Further clips show a 15-year-old Bieber being asked to give ‘the s** talk’ to a woman, to which he responds: “I feel really uncomfortable right now. Why do you want to know the s** talk from a 15-year-old boy?”
Another instance features an interviewer asking him if he ‘liked French girls because they have big b**bs’ and if he knew how to French kiss, prompting Bieber to call the questions ‘really weird’ and point out his mother’s presence.
The video also shows instances of him being told he had ‘beautiful lips’ and a very young Bieber being told to ‘wear c**doms.’
The compilation concludes with a more recent clip of Bieber expressing his desire to protect fellow pop star Billie Eilish from experiencing similar ordeals.
