Interview clips from Justin Bieber's early career are resurfacing and people have been left feeling 'sad' about the way the singer was treated.
Bieber was just 15-years-old when he was first scouted by music manager, Scooter Braun, and his rise to fame was instantaneous.
But now, clips have been surfacing the internet which are examining the way that Bieber was treated when he was an up-and-coming star.

One clip showed David Walliams asking if Justin would like to stay at his house, saying: “Why don’t you come to my house?
“You can come and stay, would you like to come and stay?”
Bieber, appearing to look uncomfortable, slowly shakes his head at Walliams.
In a separate interview, at just 15-years-old, he was asked to give 'the sex talk' to a female presenter.
He replied: “I feel really uncomfortable right now, why do you want to know the sex talk from a 15-year-old boy?
“That’s pretty weird, let’s talk about the album.”
In a clip from an interview Bieber did when he was 18-years-old, a presenter asked: “So you’re eighteen now, are we going to start hearing you talk about sex?”
Bieber replied: “You’re going to hear me talk about everything I’m going through, erm, I mean you’re just embarrassing me a little bit in front of everyone here.”
In another uncomfortable interview, Justin was asked at 16 whether he was in love or not in response to another interview he had given about not 'making love with someone if you don't have feelings'.
He answered: “I mean I’m 16, I want to just kind of keep my love life for myself because I’m not going to have a normal life.”
And people were quick to comment on how 'bad' the clips were.
One person wrote: "he was just a kid i genuinely feel bad for him," while another said: "that's sad."
"Nah cause this is so disgusting and disrespectful, I hate this for him." a second commenter said.
A third wrote: "The way he was treated was disgusting. He was a kid."
And a final said: "God this is so disturbing."
Another 'disturbing' TikTok compilation also recently went viral, which showed instances of Jenny McCarthy holding an 18-year-old Bieber by the neck and kissing him.
McCarthy later said she 'did grab his butt' and jokingly described the moment as 'cougar rape', saying she 'couldn't help it, he was just so delicious'.
The video continued with clips of Katy Perry grabbing his butt and James Corden telling a 16-year-old Bieber 'you smell amazing' and then complimenting him on his eyes.
The TikTok then ended on a more recent clip of the singer saying he wanted to protect Billie Eilish from what he went through.
