It’s only the very beginning of the new year and Justin Bieber’s already been caught up in dramatic headline after dramatic headline, which all involve the “Bad Day” singer being arrested for allegedly driving while under the influence, drag-racing, and accused of egging his neighbor’s house.
According to more recent reports, he even continued to smoke out a private jet after a flight attendant asked him and his friends to cut the antics.
Now a source is speaking out about how the superstar’s mom, Pattie Mallette, has been handling the news. According to E! Online, the source had a mouthful to say:
“As any mom of an adult child, (That’s an oxymoron if we ever did hear one), Pattie is holding him close and talking to him about everything, but she can’t make his decisions for him. As any caring mother would be, Pattie is genuinely concerned for Justin, and she has said in many interviews before that she doesn’t have her head in the clouds and keeps in very close touch with Justin. She talks with him almost every day, which is likely more than any mom and a 19-year-old son…and she is in the public eye dealing with all of this.”
The Biebs’ dad, Jeremy Bieber, is accused of enabling his son’s wild antics and party lifestyle, but according to the site’s source, Pattie is also a target of those accusations:
“It’s so hard to see people’s opinions and accusations when they don’t know her,” the source says of Mallette. “If she is with Justin, she is accused of endorsing or enabling him, yet if they find out she is not with him, they accuse her for not being with her own child in a time like this. Pattie has a great relationship with Justin. He knows where she stands on the decisions he’s making in his life. He knows what she is proud of and what she has serious discussions with him about.”
As far as turning her back on Justin, this source wants us to know that isn’t going to happen. Pattie is a true Belieber:
“Pattie never makes excuses for her son, but she is not going to turn on him for the approval or opinion of the world. Those close to her know from Pattie, that it’s always challenging as a parent to raise your child in the way you know to be right, letting them grow as they need when they become adults and have strangers share their opinion in unfounded, often hateful ways,” the insider told us. “It would be hard to imagine that any parent wouldn’t feel the same love, concern and responsibility as Pattie does in regard to her son’s well-being. Pattie and [his dad] Jeremy both know that they are responsible before God and are focusing on their son’s well-being in private.”
There you have it, folks. Justin’s mom is sticking by her son’s side. Seriously, what else would you expect?
