14 DAY TRIAL // It's a sign that Justin Bieber isn't taking any of the warning signs very seriously and remains defiant of family, friends and management who urge him to return to the right path. After making bail yesterday, the singer was photographed at a party, surrounded by bottles of alcohol.
More interestingly, the photograph published by Daily Mail also revealed that the father was present at the event as well. In such cases, you'd expect the parents to be the voice of reason and provide some level-headed advice and support to their offspring, but this doesn't seem to be happening here.
During his arrest, Justin confirmed that he not only consumed alcohol and smoked marijuana, but he was also on prescription pills, which he said were given to him by his mother. The source of the anti-depressants is now being investigated.
Moreover, his father who appears to support his son in indulging in alcohol consumption, is said to have been present the night of his arrest, actually helping block the street so Justin could drag race.
Now, he's seen downing bottles of alcohol together with his son, just hours after he was released on bail following his DUI charge, among others. An official statement from either parent on the current situation has not yet been released.
The only one to speak out on the matter so far was Justin's manager, Scooter Braun, who took to Twitter to show his support of the troubled pop star. His message said “Been a long day. Bottom line is we are defined by how we handle adversity. Be there when it counts. Love fully in good times and bad.”
Later reports from inside the Justin Bieber camp say that his management has been worried about his worsening drug abuse for some time now, but he's totally refused to seek any help on the matter.
Right now, they are said to be considering psychotherapy as a final means of getting Bieber on the right track.
