Although the name Pattie Mallette might not sound familiar at first, this woman is the mother of one of the greatest pop stars of today, Justin Bieber.
Mallette’s life had been a troubled one. She had her son at the age of just 17, and today, she’s a fixture in Justin Bieber’s world.
In her 2013 book Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom, Mallette opened up of her childhood struggles and revealed that she had been sexually abused multiple times by different people while growing up.
