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, Breaking Celebrity News 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 Breaking Celebrity News.
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.
