Bieber Fever is giving the Justin Bieber’s record label a huge headache. And insiders tell Confidenti@l that the tween star’s bratty antics may be jeopardizing his career.
“Justin doesn’t seem to care and does whatever he wants, " a sources tell Confidenti@l. One insider says Bieber’s team had had several talks with him, but “He doesn’t listen to anyone."
Another Bieber insider tells us, " He's surrounded by hangers-on who say ‘yes’ to anything he wants. There's no supervision."
That source indicates Bieber’s only family sometimes comes to him for money, which further complicates the situation.
While some close to Bieber think he’s simply exhibiting teen angst, another source tells us, “This could really damage his reputation if they don’t get it under control. Justin is someone young teens look up to and this kind of behavior can really hurt his career. Just look at what happened with Britney Spears.”
While Spears, 31, has enjoyed a newfound success since signing in as a judge on Fox’s “X Factor” in May, few would argue she’d fallen out of the spotlight in recent years.
The Biebs recently drew criticism from the Philippine congress for tweeting photoshopped images ridiculing boxer Manny Pacquiao, who’s also a politician there.
Phillippino legislators called his tweets, which mocked the boxer who’d been brutally knocked out in a December 8th fight “distasteful” and demanded an apology “lest he be declared persona non grata" in their country. Bieber has more than 30-million followers on Twitter.
The Philippine congress isn’t the only governing body the Biebs has angered in recent days. Last week, an organization calling itself the California Hamster Association accused Bieber of animal cruelty when he gave his pet hamster to a screaming fan outside a concert in Atlanta. A spokesman there told TMZ changes in environment are dangerous to a hamster’s health.
Another insiders thinks the singer’s on-off relationship with Selena Gomez may be causing him duress. The pair was spotted over the weekend getting cozy on a ski trip to Utah, but we’re told “She’s been giving him a really hard time… she’s been partying without him and it drives him crazy.”
Bieber’s reps declined to comment. Reps at Bieber’s record label, Def Jam Records, didn’t return requests for comment by deadline.
