EXCLUSIVE: Justin Bieber's Mom Unhappy Over His Career, Now She's Hiring Own Lawyer
Posted on Oct 19, 2010 @ 09:00AM
Justin Bieber’s mother believes she’s being cut out of his career and has spent the past week looking to hire a lawyer to represent her interests, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
While Bieber has dominated headlines the past few days because of an incident with another boy while playing laser tag, behind the scenes a far more contentious battle is brewing.

Pattie Mallette believes she’s been pushed too far out of Justin’s career – to the point where she never read her son’s autobiography until it came out, one source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com.
In addition, when Justin’s team announced he was launching a nail polish line, his mother had no idea.

“No one in Justin’s camp told her or consulted her,” the source said. “She found out about it by reading it in the press.”
Pattie is so upset she’s looking for a lawyer to represent her interests.

“She doesn’t want anyone to think she’s after her son’s money – and she’s not,” a source said. “But she hasn’t bought clothes for herself in two years! She flies coach. Her son writes an autobiography and no one even shows it to her.
“It’s ridiculous. And Pattie is really tormented over it.”

Scott "Scooter" Braun is Justin’s manager and the man credited with discovering the star, who grew up in Ontario, Canada. Braun denied that Pattie is unhappy over the situation with Justin and told RadarOnline.com: "There are no truth to rumors that Justin's mom is unhappy. She worked and co-operated on his autobiography."
But people close to Pattie say Braun is unaware that she has been looking for a lawyer to represent her interests. And in terms of the autobiography they say it’s just one of many Bieber projects that Braun controls with very, very little or absolutely no input from Pattie.

“She’s in a tough position,” one source said of Pattie. “She feels that she’s being cut out of her son’s business life by the people around him. She doesn’t know what to do. It was a big step for her to finally go out and look for a lawyer for herself.
“Now we’ll see if she follows through.”

The mother is not too bright and the kid is a cocky little a$$. Talent or not he is no role model for today's kids. Just listen to him, he's obnoxious. GET THE HOOK....send him back to mom.

I thought being a minor, everything would have to go through his parents. A bio that she had no final approval of? She's
his mother. She's the boss. You don't wan't this kid under the thumb of managers & agents.

What a creepy kid to have enough for a Maserati & a home in Malibu but can't flip mom a couple of hundred bucks? She can stop everything until he's 18. She might want to.

Here we go . . . it's not about money BUT she hasn't bought new clothes and has to fly coach. How is that not about money? She's pissed off she's been kicked off the caboose of the gravy train.

Yeah I also read it too that Justin Bieber has major self entitlement issues and has no respect for adults.

He does have a father - I remember seeing a pic of them recently in one of my mags, and thinking damn he's young! I thought it was his older brother.

Even tho his parents split years ago, his father and him were together for the laser tag incident, and I've seen them pictured together many times. VERY young looking dad. I'm concerned that I know this....

Watch carefully, folks.You are witnessing the formation of the next Lohan-esque family dynamics. Does becoming a star make you dysfunctional, or do we make only dysfunctional people stars?

Is all about money...........

He deserves to be slapped and sent to his room - little p r i c k. He doesn't have a father, so this is why he has no respect for his mother. Typical white trash teenager without any family values.
