Jeremy Bieber, father of pop sensation Justin Bieber, is under fire for running his 6-year-old daughter Bay’s Instagram account, which has garnered disturbing attention from online predators. As if the ongoing controversy surrounding Justin’s ties to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs wasn’t enough, Jeremy is being slammed for sharing pictures of Bay in swimwear, sparking concerns over child safety online.
Bay’s Instagram, run by her parents, boasts over 351K followers and features nearly 400 posts, documenting her life as a cheerleader. While many of Bay’s followers include young girls and their mothers, experts have raised alarms over the 20% of her audience who are men aged 18-34. Some Instagram users have called out Jeremy and his wife, Chelsey, for subjecting their daughter to unwanted and potentially dangerous attention, questioning the need for such public exposure of a child.
Disturbing comments under Bay’s photos have surfaced, with men leaving inappropriate remarks like “she kinda bad tho” and “I want it” under images of her in bikinis. Experts warn that platforms like Instagram are rife with predators, and parents need to be more cautious about the content they post of their children.
This scandal is particularly damning for the Biebers, as it resurfaces troubling memories of Justin’s own childhood exposure to fame. Sources close to the singer have criticized his parents for allowing him to party with adults like Diddy when he was just a teenager, a relationship that’s now being scrutinized amid Diddy’s legal troubles. While no direct evidence links Jeremy to profiting off Bay’s account, critics are questioning the motives behind pushing the young child into the public eye.
Is Jeremy repeating history by thrusting Bay into the same dangerous spotlight that consumed Justin’s childhood? The public outcry suggests this saga is far from over.
