00:00to the case of Justin Bieber. Not a legal case, but certainly a battle between different factions

00:08in Justin's life. People who had been around him, particularly when he launched his Drew House

00:14clothing label, and people who are no longer around him. And a lot of this centers around

00:21Justin's relationship with his new pastor. I shouldn't say new, he's been with him for a while.

00:27Judah. His name is Judah. And he runs Church Home. And there are people who are saying that

00:36relationship is very culty. And those people who believe that are no longer in Justin's life. Some

00:46of them by their choice, some of them by Justin's choice. But they are concerned that a lot of this

00:53has to do with the fact that Judah, actually, Justin brought him on board with Drew House,

00:59which rubbed some people the wrong way.

01:02So there are two sides to this. Let's get into Justin's side, and then we'll tell you the other

01:08side. You can kind of decide for yourself, but this is super, super interesting.

01:13Yeah. So I spoke to people close to Justin who basically said,

01:16it all kind of came to a head in 2023, when one of the board members of Drew House,

01:22a music exec named David Bolno, was revealed or was announced as a person of interest by police.

01:30Right. A young woman, a young singer, was found dead in a hotel room that he had paid for.

01:36He was completely cleared. And it was a drug overdose.

01:39And David was on the board of Drew House.

01:41So there's five people that were on the board. It was Justin Bieber, Scooter, David Bolno,

01:46this music exec that was named a person of interest, which by the way, he was cleared.

01:51Ryan Good, who was Justin's best man at his wedding. And the last person was Judah Smith,

01:55the pastor that Justin is very much involved with. So when the story came out that David

02:00Bolno was a person of interest in this young woman's death, I'm being told that Justin did not

02:05want David on the board anymore. However, Scooter had defended David, kept him on the board.

02:12Like I mentioned, David was later cleared. But I'm told that this is kind of what sparked the

02:17issues between Justin and Scooter on Drew House. And so from that point on, Justin felt like Scooter,

02:24David and Ryan would team up against him and Judah and that Justin's ideas weren't being heard.

02:31And his creative stroke in this company wasn't being used. And so therefore, at a point,

02:39he was like, OK, I'm done. This company is no longer mine.

02:42OK, so on the other side, the story goes this way. And this is multiple sources connected to Drew House.

02:49What they're saying is this all goes back to Judah, this pastor who they say Justin is under

02:57Judah's spell, that that Ryan, who was Justin's best friend's best man at his wedding and co-founder

03:07of Drew House was in this church. But at a point, he felt it became just a cult. And that a breaking

03:16point that word out loud. He did. And a breaking point was when he says Judah and Justin came at him

03:24and started asking him all these sexual questions about his his sex life. And he said, I am done

03:31with you, Judah, not Justin. I'm done with you, Judah, because what you're doing to the church and

03:36to Justin is wrong. So he broke from the church. Justin felt that was a unforgivable betrayal and that

03:46they never voted anything against him on the board. But that Justin was so pissed off at Ryan that he

03:53broke from Drew House and then tried to ruin Drew House. And it is evidence, they say, of the spell

04:00that Judah has on Justin. So really, Drew House is sort of the metaphor for what is really happening

04:07in Justin's life. So they say. Hi, I'm Lauren. I live in Philadelphia. So honestly, I just feel bad for

04:16Justin Bieber because I feel like he worked so hard to build that brand and it was just ripped out from

04:21under him. And I honestly think like he has a good head on his shoulders. He has a good support system.

04:27His wife is so successful. So maybe it's a good time for him to rebrand. And also, you know, people

04:34are going to buy his brand for him. If he's no longer with Drew, then, you know, it is what it is.

04:41But I think what you said is really more relevant here, which is that it's not even about clothing.

04:47Yeah, it's not about clothing. Or as my mom would say, schmatas, as it is what's going on with Justin.

04:52Yeah.
