Her son became a world-famous celebrity, but his mother’s tragic past is worse than you can imagine

Pattie Mallette, born April 2, 1975, in Stratford, Ontario, is best known

as the mother of pop superstar Justin Bieber. Her life, however,

entering him in the 2007 Stratford Star competition and posting his

performances online, leading to his global fame. Read more
