In a letter shared with his 292 million followers, Bieber described growing up “in an environment that rewarded my gift but didn’t always protect my soul.”
“There were times when I felt used, rushed, shaped by something I didn’t choose,” the star admitted. “That kind of pressure leaves scars that you don’t see on stage.
“I’m angry,” Bieber wrote. “I’ve asked God why. But Jesus keeps meeting me in the midst of pain—he doesn’t forgive me for what hurt me but teaches me how to be bitter.”

The “Love Song” singer had success with her 2009 EP “My World.” He was 15 years old. He rose to stardom in 2010.
“I’ve dealt with pain that shaped me before I had words,” Bieber wrote. “I was in a program that took more than security. But I’m not speaking as someone who is still broken – I’m speaking as someone who Jesus has already healed.
“What happened to me was true,” he explained. “But it doesn’t get the last word. Jesus didn’t just help me face the situation – He restored my identity. I’m not a product. I’m not what the industry wanted. I’m a son. Because I’m healed, I can forgive – not to forgive injustice, but to ensure that it does not continue to reproduce itself through me.

“I don’t want to burn the music industry,” he emphasized. “I want to see it done anew – safer, more reliable, more humane.”

Jesus goes… I’m not talking like a bleeding victim – I’m talking like a restored person.”
