Madison Beer Recalls Her Nude Photo Leak At 15, Justin Bieber's Trauma: ‘He's Been Through So Much'
Madison Beer was just 13 when a video of her singing Etta James' At Last went viral and caught Justin Bieber's attention.
Madison Beer is reflecting on her difficult journey through fame and childhood stardom. In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, the singer opened up about the trauma of being thrust into the spotlight at a young age and the fallout she experienced shortly after being discovered by Justin Bieber.
Now 26, Beer was just 13 when a video of her singing Etta James' At Last went viral and caught Bieber's attention. He shared the clip with his then-manager Scooter Braun, leading to her being signed. While it seemed like a dream come true, the reality was far more damaging.
Beer recalled how quickly her career stalled and how devastating the aftermath was. 'Literally the same day my manager dropped me, my lawyer dropped me, and my label dropped me," she said. 'I was 16 and my label was like, 'Good luck.' And I'm like, 'You guys just stole years of my childhood that I'll never get back.'"
She described how industry figures made inappropriate comments about her appearance at just 14, and how a nude photo leak at 15 added to her distress. 'I felt like I was a dollar sign to them and when I didn't bring in enough money, they didn't care about me anymore," she said.
Beer also said the label hyped her up as the 'female Justin Bieber," only to later 'drop her on her head." Without traditional schooling or a backup plan, she felt lost. 'My whole family uprooted and moved to Los Angeles with no connections. I have no friends. Are you guys kidding me?"
She also addressed her past association with Scooter Braun, who no longer manages Bieber. Reflecting on that time, she acknowledged how young they all were. 'Justin was also only a teenager when I got signed — he hadn't even experienced his adult life yet. He's been through so much, too."
Despite the chaos, her bond with Justin and Hailey Bieber remains strong. 'I love him and Hailey very much," Beer said. 'I was with them recently and we were like, 'How special that we've known each other for so long.' I've known Hailey since I was 10, and I've known Justin since I was 12. We're still in each other's lives and now they're married with a baby."
