Uh Oh. Canadian teen heart throb Justin Bieber has gotten himself in a spot of bother by making some ill-judged comments in an interview with Rolling Stone. Perhaps forgetting that even though he’s the most famous 16 year old in the world, interviewer Vanessa Gregoriadis asked him for his thoughts on wholesome issues such as pre-marital sex and abortion.
His responses included the lines “you should just wait” regarding the former, and “I really don’t believe in abortion … It’s like killing a baby” to the latter. What has caused a bit of a shit storm is the interviewer asking him what he thought of situations where a woman has been raped and become pregnant as a result. His response was “everything happens for a reason,” but qualified this by saying, “I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”
The shit storm this has provoked has seen some people slam the interviewer for asking such questions of a 16 year old, while other people have hit out at him, saying such comments could give his impressionable young fans some very skewed views. One thing is for sure Justin Baby, Baby – you’re going to need some remedial media training stat!
