Heavily tattooed Jeremy Bieber, once a notorious troublemaker known to
police for his heavy drinking and fighting, barely featured in his son’s
upbringing in Ontario, Canada. He was a martial arts enthusiast who
separated from Justin’s mother, Pattie, when the boy was 13 months old.
Pattie says her own childhood was blighted by drink, drugs and sexual
abuse. She gave birth to Justin while living in a Salvation Army hostel,
having become pregnant at 17, and had to raise him on her own. Her
ex-partner was allowed to visit Justin only if he refrained from alcohol
or non-prescription drugs. Justin’s mother was so poor that she had to
rely on food banks, but she insists she instilled in her son her own
deeply held Christian beliefs and strong moral values.
