Justin Bieber's mum asks fans to pray for him as fears grow over erratic behaviour

JUST days after Justin Bieber splashed out $85,000 at a strip club, his mum is pleading for people to pray for him. 

Better days...Justin Bieber, right, kisses his mum Pattie Mallette. Mallette has urged people to pray for her son, who is reportedly abusing "sizzurp

Pattie Mallette, who gave birth to Bieber when she was just 17, has opened up about her concerns for her famous son.

Mallette, who is deeply religious, has said that the world her son inhabits is a dangerous influence on him, reports The Sun.

She said: “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.”

It’s been widely reported that Bieber’s family and “team” are so concerned by his erratic behaviour, that they’ve been urging him to go to rehab.

The Canadian star’s alleged use of a dangerous concoction called Sizzurp, containing the drug codeine plus alcohol and cannabis, is creating serious concerns among those close to him.

But Mallette, who struggled with addiction as a young woman, says that she doesn’t hold her son’s bizarre 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.

“If Justin’s struggling, don’t kick him when he’s down or condemn him - pray for him.”

Clearly, though, Biebs has other plans than heading to his nearest church.

He’s just uploaded a photo of him smoking a big, fat Cuban cigar, adding, “I’m in Cuba. I love Cubans.”
