I am not a fan of Justin Bieber but I will say it is easy to criticize others before taking a look at ourselves in the mirror. 17-20 year olds are gullible and know nothing at that age. It's not uncommon for people to get themselves mixed up in the wrong crowd. Everyone makes mistakes.

no, I dont know why yall defend these filthy rich bad people. justin is a bad person. he abused his ex girlfriend, hang out with rapists, women abuser etc on the daily and more

 

he's just scared now cause of the exposé about him that's about to come out lol

[Khal]

I don't want to sound insensitive if Bieber did indeed also go suffer at Diddy's hands, but that story sounds like what someone's team would plant if they wanted to distamce themselves from him without outrightly doing so. "Oh look, he's so distraught, he really had no idea, he's just as shaken as everyone else about this".

Did you read her lawsuit? If you haven't you should, it's quite graphic and very shocking but already provides a pretty detailed account of what went down + considering the fact she is literally THE reason why that monster is FINALLY under federal custody right now after decades of literal terror (while mostly everyone else in the same industry that obviously witnessed it has turned a blind eye and still remain quiet) I think anyone who dares to say that about her needs to get a ******* grip and be thanking her instead. Quickly.

 

She is honestly a very, very brave woman. If Diddy had known all of this, he would have killed her 4 SURE. 

Im checking her music for the first time and is so good  Was Cassie as Big as Ciara? Ashanti?  dont know too much about her but i remember Zendaya calling her an inspiration

17-20 year olds are still teens so they are not fully grown adults yet, aka children

Also there is no such thing as a perfect victim. Even if she was involved at a party, she was heavily drugged and forced to engage in such acts. I remember reading in the lawsuit she would do anything for him to avoid beatings. Diddy also is rich enough where he could not only find her if she ran away, but also covered up the abuse by paying hotel employees to not leak footage of her getting hit. I can't imagine the amount of trauma she has been though, and definitely will unfortunately for the rest of her life suffer from such scars. It's gross ppl implying she knew what she was doing when they don't understand how powerful Diddy is and how he easily hide the abuse.

Absolutely and as I said in the other thread about his arrest I'm already fuming just to think of the smear campaign she will be subjected to (and the stuff they will surely be putting out to destroy her character especially when the trial begins) after seeing his lawyer already pull the disgusting victim blaming and "mutual abuse" narratives during the bail hearing 

However Dawn's lawsuit and that dinner bit where he punched her wih Jimmy Iovine, Usher and Ne-Yo present really struck a nerve with me too and just considering how frequent and publicly the instances of abuse happened I think we'd be surprised to learn how much of an open secret it all was.

she was def not as big as Ciara or Ashanti but Me & U was pretty huge worldwide (and Long Way 2 Go was popular too despite its apparent chart floppage; it's since had a relatively big revival on TikTok in the last couple years) 

her career was quickly derailed after her first televised performance of Me & U got lots of backlash for her singing (or lack thereof, and people were pretty unforgiving of that especially back then) however she was seen as a very hot new artist with promise (she was kind of the first social media artist to "make it" too, she had a very big following on MySpace which is where Me & U first went viral and gained popularity) if she had been properly managed/supported by her team/label and went the Rihanna route with yearly releases and constant grinding/performing to get better etc who knows what might've happened. she did keep a devoted following and some critical acclaim for a lot of leaked material and stuff she'd release sporadically (including a very good mixtape in 2013) but not enough to ever make a commercial impact again and the interest also seemed to stem from how beautiful/stylish and mysterious she was as she kept disappearing after multiple second album launch attempts that'd never stick. thanks to her lawsuit we sadly now know what was happening behind the scenes was actually far more evil and perverse than I suppose most of us thought. there's been some articles about it since the lawsuit (but none super in depth)

Hm, I wonder how the responses would differ here if Justin were a woman. I know he's done some horrible things in his past, but I honestly don't think any child comes out of the industry unscathed. That video of him underage telling Diddy "let's go get some girls" is so weird, I can't help but feel like some bad things happened to Justin. Obviously we can't know for sure until he says something, but I kinda view this situation similarly to Ari and Nickelodeon. While Ari hasn't said she was abused either, it's clear growing up in that environment affected her. 

 

Idk, this stuff is complex and I think the main takeaway is that if I ever have children I'm not letting them near the entertainment industry lol

Period.

 

Cassie's Filipina voodoo is STRONG. These men should start panicking.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful-complete message. 
Yes things will get real bad for her. So many will side with Diddy like that Johny deep situation

Poor Cassie. I hope she's able to win and get a significant money settlement. It won't repair all the damage, but she needs some form of redemption.
 

We always talk about Britney, Xtina, Shakira, Avril, J.Lo, Pink, Nelly, Gwen, and Fergie, but we really need to discuss more about the R&B pop princesses from the 2000s or 90s ones
Ashanti, Cassie, Ciara, Amerie, Aaliyah,Christina Milian, Brandy..........

idk justin was just a child when he started out

lets not do too much on him

I didn't know Justin was a child earlier this year when he was meeting up with Diddy exchanging pleasantries 

[Polgg48]

disgusting users downplay victim complex of SA case especially with immature JB are out of control, the thread derails into blaming JB involvement when clearly he was teenage under powerful moguls control. why do we give maniac posters to say inappropriate contents over on this board, unacceptable.

Feigning ignorance is beyond disgusting on his part.

Yes because a good person:

• emotionally and mentally abuses his ex-girlfriend.
• supports a man like Chris Brown who beat women senseless and abused them physically and verbally.
• supports a man like Johnny Depp who raped his wife on multiple occasions and threatened to **** her dead corpse before burying it in a Honda Civic.
• supports a man like Tory Lanez who shot a woman. 
• supports a man like Travis Scott who let multiple people die due to his own negligence and almost let a crew member OD to death. 
• married a racist stalker with a history of harassment and ****-shaming and stands by her. 
• parties until 3am getting drunk and high a mere two days before his wife went into labor.
• shares that he owns a book depicting how marriages should entailin women being homemakers instead of having a career and sexually servicing their husbands. 
• gets in a public dispute with a publicly lambasted a mental health professional after she called out his Instagram post saying that mental health can be fixed by "getting over it" versus medication/therapy/diet/sleep, telling her to shut up.

A good person! 

He has no idea of your existence sis, let it go. Go outside and live your own life.

[loveisdead9582]

Honestly, the way he's acting is like there's some sort of skeleton in the closet. Idk what that might be but it's like there's something he doesn't want the public to know. Diddy is on suicide watch. Just a reminder - Epstein didn't kill himself.

There is no way Diddy's industry friends will be able to keep silent forever.

 

As a fan of Usher I'm just observing the situation closely. At first I was very uncomfortable by Usher's silence and how he kept liking Diddy's posts... and then a more knowledgeable fan explained to me things happened to him and there's actual proof of it (kinda).

I do think he made sure to keep Justin safe from what he went through.

The people trying to place blame on Usher (if something happened) are beyond weird. And they're only doing it bc to them - it's salacious and very much worth "the water cooler talk" when the reality is Usher is a fellow artist, who was not responsible for Bieber's day to day schedule. If something happened, the onus lies upon Bieber's immediate team as in Scooter Braun, his mother, his manager who fills in when Scooter isn't around, his security, and his assistants. The lack of understanding from people in how Usher has been tormented by that man since he was a 13 year old to the point where even as adults, Puffy would question Usher on camera on why Usher hasn't been communicating or hanging out with him. It's gross and shows how people don't actually take any of it seriously. They just want something to gossip about.

Totally agree. I've seen posts here in the style of "lock Usher up next!!" and just thought I'd give my two cents in this thread, even though it's a bit off-topic.

I agree with your post completely. It was worth mentioning.

Leave Justin alone he has a child to take care of 

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

Some of you need to realize that this not a piece of Hollywood fiction with Good vs Bad, this is real life.

 

Victims can be abusers and abusers can be victims. All of them have been complicit to immoral behavior at one point, and all of them have been on the receiving end of immoral behavior on another. Wanting someone to be 100% pure angel or 100% mean demon gets you nowhere.

 

I can only respect the people who choose to stand up for what's right in the end.

[Prisoner]

Didn't he supposedly give a bj at a diddys party in that one video? I think he might be a victim

[lauren198]

It didn't seem he disliked Diddy. And I think he would ressent Usher if something went down, but he loves that man. But sometimes some people do not realize they were abused,  and he wanted fit in so bad, so who knows...
