The Biebs is speaking out!
On Wednesday news broke that unruly man child Justin Bieber was under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for attempted robbery of a woman and her 13-year-old daughter while at a "family entertainment center" in Sherman Oaks, Calif. The woman alleged that the 20-year-old believed she had taken photos of the popstar, demanded her phone and then tried to "wrestle" the woman's phone from her. But now the "Boyfriend singer" is taking to social media to defend himself.
"It is hard to defend myself and my privacy every moment of the day," Bieber wrote. "Then to see rumors. The truth will set u free."
Aww we feel so bad for you JB! It must be hard being a multimillionaire who seems to think that no rules apply to him.
"My mom raised me to be kind to others," he continued. "I get judged, harassed, and I try to take the high road. Sometimes it isn't easy. But we keep trying. I will continue to be the man my mother raised."
"I love people and I will try to be kind even when things are not fair. Don't believe rumors. Thanks for those who stick by me and those that help me grow everyday. I love you. Off to have fun and smile with friends. I'm human. I feel. I hurt. But I got thick skin too. I can handle it. I love you."
On Wednesday, the LAPD released a statement about investigating the incident, "The Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery Homicide Division, Robbery Special Section, is conducting an investigation involving Justin Bieber. On May 12, 2014, around 10:30 p.m. an incident occurred between an individual and Mr. Bieber near the batting cages located in the 4900 block of N. Sepulveda Boulevard.
