Over the past couple of years, it seems like the pre-teen pop idol has been permanently putting his foot in his mouth during Justin Bieber interviews, often saying controversial things that get him in trouble and make everyone over the age of 15 hate him - but that's just about to stop.
The bulking many Justin Bieber interviews have made the 21 year-old pop star so hated that a few months back Walmart employees asked the retail chain to stop playing his music so much, and given this and many other occurrences, it seems like his public relations team is banning him from giving live interviews.
According to Stuff, insiders to the team behind the pop star have revealed that the "Baby" singer is actually banned from live Justin Bieber interviews, after a series of public confrontations have often made him the butt of jokes, hurting his image as a teen idol for younger audiences.
Speaking to Page Six, the insiders said the Canadian-born star is now only doing taped Justin Bieber interviews, even after Biebs has apologized over and over again for different comments he's made in the past, but it seems like he's too big a liability on his own to be trusted.
"Justin's people are so terrified of him speaking live, they're doing everything pretaped," a source told the publication regarding Justin Bieber's interviews.
According to Vanity Fair, while live interviews are out, in fact Bieber's doing a couple of live shows within the next few days, namely shooting "The Today Show" as well as appearing on the MTV Music Awards (VMAs) hosted by Miley Cyrus ext Sunday, so obviously it's not as if he's banned from appearing in anything that'll lead to him speaking in public.
In any case, it seems like Selena Gomez's ex and his peeps are truly committed to polishing his image to what it once was - even if that means keeping Justin Bieber interviews under strict control.
