Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun is running out of options to wrangle in his troubled client, and he may be turning to more drastic measures. “It’s the same as being with a kid growing up, as a parent,” Braun told GQ for their upcoming March issue. “My responsibility is to always be there when they fall, to help them back up. But at some point I need to let them fail.” Scooter visited Justin after his Miami arrest last week, and said he told him, “Either we quit and let you try and find a normal life or you realize that this is what this is, and we’ve got to keep fighting. “We’ve talked that sometimes he doesn’t help himself because he’s so angry about [the bad publicity surrounding the incidents,” Scooter added, “but no one really understands what he’s living, only him.” Hopefully his new method works, because the drama keeps on mounting for Justin!
