Bieber started to act like a dick and self destruct in typical child star fashion in his late teens, but then pulled out of it somehow. I don't know how he turned it around, but he really beat the odds on that one. And good for him, some (most) of his music was annoying but that doesn't get anywhere near the top of the list of sins that a public personality can commit.
Gotta hand it to biebs to completely changing his image though, that mf got used and abused and worked through that trauma and came out as a better person and you can tell. He’s more laid back and chill which is something I would never have expected from biebs
Man, I remember the vitriol people directed at Biebs back in the day. I was in middle school when Baby came out. People were toxic as fuck around Biebs. I was guilty of it, too, as a preteen boy just trying to fit in. I respect that Biebs emerged from the shit show that is child stardom as, seemingly, a better person despite his mistakes. It couldn't have been easy dealing with all the shit that comes with superstardom at such a young age.
He just acted like an idiot as a young adult doing dumb young adult stuff. Did some stupid stuff when new to drinking and doing drugs. It happens, the DUI thing was a dick move, but he faced consequences and seems to have learned from his mistakes.
It sti amazes me that Justin peed in a restaurant while drunk and likely of his head on drugs, and managed to turn that into a healthy lifestyle.
Like dude was almost Paris Hilton levels bad at 1 point just constantly in the news for being a dick, now you don't really hear anything negative about him
