Justin Bieber’s mum says she prays for him every day

Listen, it’s no secret that Justin Bieber’s been going a bit barmy lately. What with all the crazy egg throwing, possible addiction to Sizzurp and pricey trip to a lap-dancing club…

And now Biebs’ mum, Pattie Mallette, has opened up about her concerns for her 19-year-old son, and admitted she prays for him every day.

On the day that it was revealed the Baby star blew £45,000 on lap-dancers at a US strip club, deeply religious mum-of-two Pattie admitted the world he now lives in is a dangerous influence.

She told The Sun: “I think so many people go into the entertainment industry with amazing Christian roots and they go in with the right morals and they get influenced somehow.

“I think it’s important to pray for leaders and people of influence and God has put (Justin) in this place of influence.

“I ask that people keep me and Justin in their minds. I pray for him every day.”

But Pattie, who went through drug addiction when she was younger, insists she doesn’t hold any of Justin’s wild behaviour against him.
“I started self-medicating with drugs and alcohol.
“I got in with the wrong crowd. I ended up stealing and even dealing drugs.
“Everything sort of came to a head by the time I was 17, when I tried to commit suicide.
“People pressured me to have an abortion. But I had a very strong feeling that I was doing the right thing. It was the best decision of my life.
“I pray that what happened to me will happen for everyone, for people that are struggling with pain, depression and hopelessness.
