We’re relatively “up to date” on things that don’t matter, you know about the photos of Justin Bieber allegedly smoking marijuana and the nonsensical blathering that quickly followed in the media. When the ethical journalism pioneers at TMZ broke the “story” a few weeks ago, a gaggle of internet trolls started the horrendous “#cutforbieber” trend on Twitter, posing as dedicated “beliebers” vowing to employ self-harm in protest of the pop star’s supposed affinity for smoking weed, reported by Barbosa. This turned a scandal, Bieber insisted the incident was a mistake and, following an investigation, Justin wasn’t even on the floor in question, it was actually coming from another star’s room. and feels betrayed by someone who sold these pictures for $25,000 who he thought was a friend.
Now, to be fair, there really hasn’t been any solid confirmation that Bieber was actually getting high — or, in other words, coughing uncontrollably because it’s his first time — on the evening the photos were taken. But the slow-burning object stowed between his fingers looks like a blunt, which just so happens to be rolled appropriately thin enough for a pop star sporting a pompadour haircut.
That’s sufficient evidence for most people who feel as if they’re obligated to offer up nuggets of sage-like advice, such as “Stop hanging out with those guys in the flat-billed hats,” and “Go to rehab.” Most of them offer it with the best of intentions: They want “Biebs” to continue being a “good role model,” which one apparently can accomplish by writing songs for seventh graders to awkwardly grind dance to in dimly-lit basements. They want Bieber to stay focused on his hits — the ones involving pop charts, not a bong.
That’s good advice, really. However, if Bieber liked listening to good advice, he probably wouldn’t have sparked up a J while some random groupie with a phone started snapping pictures right in front of his face. Nonetheless, he still probably needs some advice on how to move on, but don’t bank on him opting for the good advice.
