Justin Bieber expresses support for accused manager
Teenage singer Justin Bieber recently expressed support for his manager, who has been charged with reckless endangerment and other crimes, in connection with an incident at a mall in which several people sustained minor injuries last year. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), Bieber released a statement citing he was standing by Scott “Scooter” Braun amid the allegations Wednesday.
Braun was alleged to have failed to promptly alert fans via Twitter that Bieber would not be making a scheduled appearance, which led to a fan frenzy that resulted in five individuals being taken to a hospital.
Bieber is quoted in the report as stating of the matter, “My mother and I are 100 percent behind my manager… He is someone of high moral character and principle. The decisions he made that day were to protect the safety of myself and my fans and I am very thankful to have someone in my life who watches over me the way Scooter does.”
