This man is the real reason why Justin Bieber is a dingus

by Mark Teo

You don’t need us—or the mental imagery of him pissing in a mop bucket—to remind you that Justin Bieber’s a dingus. But for all the dumb shit Justin does, at the very least, he has a mega-successful singing career, endless riches, and a legion of fans. The same thing can’t be said of his dad, Jeremy.

It’s a stretch to call Jeremy a deadbeat, but he certainly is a dummy—and his questionable decisions might explain Justin’s idiotic behaviour, too. Last week, for example, he hurled an American Bulldog off a balcony; the dog, Karma, was initially purchased by Justin. So, why was a tiny tog tossed from their two story house? He bit Justin’s brother, Jaxon.

But the 39-year-old doesn’t only struggle from anger management issues. He’s also destroyed an apartment—causing $12,000 in damages, and allegedly left the place covered in piss and shit—and relies on Justin to pay for his rent. Famously, he was aboard a weed smoke-filled plane with Justin, and treated them so badly, the staff seemingly had PTSD. Then, there was the time he kicked a teenage girl in face so hard, she was eating pureed food for two months.

So no, maybe he’s not a deadbeat dad—Jeremy’s still in Justin’s life. But he’s most certainly a dingus, and apparently a violent one, at that. To top that, he’s actually been to prison for assault, with charges stemming back all the way to 1997. Here, via Defamer, is his list of offences.

Indeed, were we the betting type, we’d wager that Jeremy might be the reason Justin’s such a dingus.
