Madison Beer Opens Up About Career Struggles, Past Trauma, and Bieber Friendship

Singer Madison Beer has recently shared candid reflections on her career journey, personal hardships, and longtime friendship with Justin and Hailey Bieber in a revealing Cosmopolitan interview.

Beer, who was initially labeled the "female Justin Bieber" early in her career, spoke about her enduring relationship with the couple: "We've known each other for so long," she explained, expressing continued support for Justin. "He's been through so much, too," Beer noted, highlighting their parallel experiences navigating the music industry after finding fame as teenagers.

The 25-year-old artist also addressed significant personal trauma, discussing how nude photos and videos of her were leaked when she was just 15 years old. "The boy who shared them has recently reached out to apologize," Beer revealed, though she has been open about the lasting impact of this violation. This traumatic experience was part of a pattern of early sexualization she faced after entering the spotlight.

Beer's career path has included numerous challenges, including being dropped by her management team at age 16. She was previously managed by Scooter Braun, who also managed Justin Bieber, but faced industry setbacks despite her early promise.

Throughout these hardships, Beer has focused on personal growth and mental health, working to establish her identity beyond industry comparisons and past relationships. Her frank discussions about cyberbullying and industry pressures highlight the difficulties young artists often face while navigating fame.
