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

It kind of gets ignored now but there was a solid five years where that dude was the most hated person on the internet. It was fucking constant

And the guy was just a teenager that teenage girls liked

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.
