Justin Bieber’s bad luck doesn’t seem to be slowly down any time soon. The pop sensation who has been the subject of bad publicity for months is now under attack once again for a controversial comment he made about iconic Holocaust victim, Anne Frank.
While in Amsterdam on his Believe tour, Bieber visited the Anne Frank House which is the house where the young Frank hid from the Nazis during World War II and chronicled her nightmare in her diary. After his visit, Bieber signed the guest book, writing the controversial comment, “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber”
The Anne Frank House posted the comment on their Facebook page and the seemingly harmless comment has sparked massive outrage from people calling Bieber selfish self-absorbed. Bieber’s spokesperson claims that Bieber was truly moved by the experience and did not mean to cause offense.
While most people are sore at Bieber’s gaffe, others are pointing out that he is just 19-year-old and bound to make mistakes. The Anne Frank press office even stated, “He’s 19, it’s a strange life he’s living, it wasn’t very sensible but he didn’t mean bad…He was very interested in Anne Frank.”
Was Justin Bieber’s comment offensive?
Yes; he should have thought about the comment before writing it.
