The way you degrade women is an abomination.“I regret working under your name,” she added. “I gave your universe my naive body, creativity, time and effort. Twice. For content you made millions off of.“While I made zilch. Natta. Barely anything. Less than minimum wage for the hours I invested.”> Justin Bieber’s PurposeWorldTour choreographer/dancer, who also happens to be Ellen Page’s wife, slams the singer for allegedly paying her ‘less than minimum wage’ while working for him: > > "I couldn’t afford to eat.

First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.. Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed. Neither scooter or i have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line..> > A post shared by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on Jun 30, 2019 at 2:54pm PDTThe “You Need to Calm Down” singer accused Braun of “incessant, manipulative bullying”, prompting Bieber to rush to his defence and accuse Swift of unfairly getting “people to hate on Scooter” by writing the Tumblr post.Delevingne responded by asking Bieber why he chose to criticise a woman online.“As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened,” she said.The Independent has contacted representatives for Portner and Bieber for further comment.

Portner said that someone of Bieber’s status holds “immense power” and urged him to “use it to stop degrading women”.
The choreographer’s comments come days after model Cara Delevingne urged Bieber to “spend less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women”.
Delevingne made the remark in a comment on the singer’s Instagram page – which appears to have since been deleted – after Bieber alleged that Taylor Swift had used her rift with music manager Scooter Braun to gain sympathy.
On Sunday, Swift published a Tumblr post expressing her concerns that Braun, who discovered Bieber on YouTube in 2007 and has represented him ever since, will own her music following his company’s deal with Big Machine Records, Swift’s former label.
