After the “teaser”, TMZ has now officially released the full version of the documentary called What Happened to Justin Bieber. The 44-minute film delves into Justin Bieber’s life, from his early fame to his personal struggles and the relationships that shaped him into the man he is today.
Justin Bieber’s Mental Health and Substance Use Issues
Right at the beginning of the film, TMZ quotes Justin Bieber from a 2019 interview: “Oh my god, there was a time when I really wanted to kill myself. Really, is this pain ever going to go away?”
The production team believes there is reason to be concerned about Justin Bieber’s mental health. Over the years, the artist has admitted to struggling with difficulties, often having emotional swings in public. People around Justin Bieber are very open when asked about his money and relationships. But when it comes to “mental health”, their attitude suddenly changes and they ask not to mention this “forbidden zone”.

Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of Health Uncensored, said the main reason was that Justin Bieber was pushed into the adult world too early, without going through the normal stages of development of teenagers. “Giving children, teenagers adult responsibilities is extremely painful. Children need to be children,” he said.
Over the years, Justin Bieber has admitted to using a number of addictive substances such as ecstasy, marijuana, and magic mushrooms. Dr. Drew Pinsky said that since marijuana was legalized, the concentration of the compound has increased by nearly 100%, causing deep addiction and creating more serious mental problems. In recent times, the male singer has been caught publicly using addictive substances, most seriously at the Coachella music festival in April.

Stormy marriage with Hailey Bieber
Justin and Hailey got married quite quickly, so much so that Hailey was said to always be “on the sidelines” waiting for Justin. Justin Bieber brought his injuries into his marriage and almost collapsed in the first year of marriage.
The production team pointed out that Selena Gomez seemed to have haunted Hailey Bieber’s mind. Hailey Bieber was discovered to have a tattoo similar to Selena Gomez, and also imitated her way of speaking. She was hated by fans of the Jelena couple, often attacked on social networks and in real life. There was a time when Hailey Bieber did not want to continue the marriage, she once called her mother crying in Manhattan, New York, USA. However, the production team finally concluded that maybe Justin – Hailey’s marriage was just as normal as everyone else’s, that is, sometimes happy, sometimes sad.

“Revealing” the truth about Justin Bieber’s music and relationship with Scooter Braun
The production team claimed that Justin Bieber didn’t actually write the music, but his longtime manager Scooter Braun “magically” got him credited. In theory, Justin Bieber could still get credited if someone else sent him a demo and he said, “I don’t like this note,” and changed it. However, many musicians sent demos to Justin Bieber and he didn’t change anything. The demo and the studio version were identical, and Justin Bieber was simply the “singer” of these songs.
Justin Bieber’s hits were all written by others, such as Boyfriend, Love Yourself, Sorry… Music industry insiders say that artists not composing music is not new, but not composing but still having copyrights like Justin Bieber is the first. They say that Justin Bieber would not have been able to have a music catalog worth 200 million USD (more than 5,100 billion VND) without Scooter Braun’s help. Because the songs Justin Bieber sang all became hits, some authors gave the copyright to the male singer, even though he did not participate in the composing process.
Justin Bieber không sáng tác nhạc, nhưng lại có tác quyền
Scooter Braun là người đã phát hiện tài năng của Justin Bieber năm anh 13 tuổi và biến anh thành sao. Tuy nhiên mối quan hệ này đã kết thúc vì chuyện “xưa như diễm” của ngành âm nhạc: nghệ sĩ cảm thấy quản lý lấy của mình quá nhiều tiền.
Justin Bieber hiện vẫn còn đang nợ Scooter Braun 8,8 triệu USD (228 tỷ đồng). Theo đó, sự việc bắt đầu từ khi Justin Bieber hủy tour Justice năm 2022. Lúc đó, nam ca sĩ đã nhận được khoản thanh toán trước lên đến 40 triệu USD (1037 tỷ đồng). Chỉ riêng khoản phạt hợp đồng của anh đã lên đến 24 triệu USD (622 tỷ đồng). Công ty HYBE dưới quyền Scooter Braun đã đứng ra trả trước khoản tiền phạt, và Justin Bieber cam kết trả lại sau 10 năm. Nhưng nam ca sĩ này chỉ trả tiền được 1 kỳ rồi dừng lại.
Ekip hiện tại Justin Bieber phủ nhận điều này. Người quản lý kinh doanh Lou Taylor khẳng định Scooter Braun thu phí hoa hồng quá cao, lên đến 26 triệu USD (674 tỷ đồng). Công ty HYBE đã kiểm toán nội bộ và ra kết quả Justin Bieber thực sự nợ Scooter Braun hơn 1 triệu USD (25,9 tỷ đồng).
Khi căng thẳng leo thang, HYBE đã ủy quyền cho 1 công ty kiểm toán bên ngoài vào cuộc. Công ty này đưa ra kết luận Justin Bieber thực sự nợ khoảng 8,8 triệu USD (228 tỷ đồng). Phía Justin Bieber sau đó không thể đưa ra bất kỳ phản bác đáng kể nào với kết quả này, cũng không có kế hoạch tiết lộ kế hoạch kiểm toán.

Nhóm sản xuất nghi ngờ Justin Bieber liên tục công khai tình trạng bệnh tật nhằm gây sức ép lên công ty bảo hiểm.

Justin Bieber was so broke that he had to borrow money from a church member to go golfing. Then, he decided to sell his entire music catalog at a very young age.
