Anthony Kiedis wrote about all of the things he did in his book (fucking 14 year olds), that’s not really a secret. In terms of Bieber, I remember several years ago before all of the Diddy stuff came to light he released a music video for a song called Yummy that many people interpreted as him signaling that he was sexually abused during his early years of fame:All you gotta do is ask, lad. Reason I didn't is because the shit is, as I said, second hand. And I never particularly believed it anyway, unlike other artists I've heard rumoured and innuendo'd about.
The common thread was sexual abuse by rappers and contemporaries in American Pop music, but no one ever said names. I chalked it up to the usual whisper game of stories getting exaggerated, just because they said it happened a lot, that it wasn't a once or few times thing. I couldn't imagine someone going through that, for that long, without either spilling about it or Steve C'ing themselves.
Thing is, even without provocation, a lot of the people in our industry talk, and some will do work all over the world, so stories spread easily. It's the kind of thing that's supposedly told in confidence, but never really is. Hence why I've shared what I've heard about Cunts like Jared Leto and Anthony Keidis, because 1. It made sense and 2. It's out there if you really look.
But the Beiber stuff? It just sounded so crazy. And only one person, who I'll keep vague because I promised that to him, claimed to even know some names, but he said if he ever spoke them out loud that his career and possibly life would absolutely be over if it ever pointed back to him. He seemed serious, and that was the one time I actually contemplated maybe some of the stories could be true.
I highly doubt Diddy ever makes it to a courtroom to spill his info, just from the Bieber stories alone.
The way he acted out when he was a kid was definitely a sign of major turmoil going on, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was passed around. Guys from Nickelodeon like Brian Peck or that director Victor Salva were convicted and still able to have jobs in Hollywood. I know in recent years Bieber was more open about the Gawd stuff. Good for him but also can be interpreted as a way for him to cope with everything that happened to him back in the day. I know a couple weeks ago everyone got mad at him for posting a bong selfie lol. And I think he started following Shane Gillis on instagram after his SNL monologue so maybe he’s just trying to become a normal “bro” type of guy after doing some soul searching.
