Mother at 17, woman in the shadows: the incredible story of Pattie Mallette, discreet pillar of superstar Justin Bieber
Stolen childhood, broken adolescence
From the age of 3, Pattie knew horror. Victim of sexual abuse by people who are supposed to watch over her, she loses her innocence far too quickly. This traumatic childhood left deep scars, which pushed her towards self-destructive behaviors at a very young age. At the age of 14, she sank into alcohol, drugs and petty theft. Her life is like a free fall, without a safety net, into a void where she is desperately looking for a reason to hold on. This scene is unfortunately not uncommon among young people in pain, but for Pattie, you will have to hit rock bottom to see a glimmer of light.
