Justin Bieber Was Asked About S:ex At 15 And “V:iolated” By An Adult Woman Onstage And It’s Sparked A Conversation About The Way He Was Treated As A Child Star

Justin was 15 years old when he shot to fame, and resurfaced videos show him being groped, kissed, and asked about sex.

Over the last two weeks, Justin Bieber has found himself dominating the news cycle after a long-rumored feud between his wife, Hailey Bieber, and his ex Selena Gomez exploded online in spectacular fashion.

Justin sparked controversy back in 2018 when he married Hailey just six months after he broke up with Selena following a seven-year on-again, off-again romance.

At the end of February, Hailey and her friend Kylie Jenner were accused of being “mean girls” toward Selena following some seriously shady Instagram activity. Meanwhile, Selena deactivated TikTok after people said that she was encouraging the hate toward Hailey.

Before long, the latest drama had sparked renewed interest in Justin and Hailey’s life, with every aspect of their relationship being scrutinized online.

People quickly began to circulate receipts that proved that Hailey was a hardcore Justin fan for years before they got together, and old videos of Justin and Hailey’s awkward interactions were reposted to social media.

But now the focus has gravitated from Justin’s relationship to his career, with many taking the opportunity to look back on his rise to fame in 2009 — when he was just 15 years old.

By the time he turned 18, Justin already had an estimated net worth of $40 million, as well as a plethora of awards, millions of devoted fans across the globe, and a whole host of celebrity friends.

But as teens were hit with so-called Bieber fever, so were some adults — and the way that young Justin was treated by these adults has now come under scrutiny.

One fan created a compilation video that shows Justin being repeatedly subjected to inappropriate behavior, with the singer even voicing his discomfort on multiple occasions.

The video was posted to TikTok alongside the caption: “He was just a kid :(,” and it quickly racked up over 3 million views as people shared their outrage at Justin’s treatment.
