I\u2019m surrounded by lots of nasty newspaper and magazine articles and insulting letters and want you to understand this deluge on my doorstep is the same or worse than cyber bullying. Not many understand. I\u2019m nineteen and make fifty million a year and fans love me and I\u2019m doing things most my age would do. I\u2019m going to strip clubs and brothels in Brazil and urinating in a mop bucket in a New York restaurant and leaping from a van to confront paparazzi, my bodyguards close by since I\u2019m a skinny guy. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking a lot of shit but not hurting anyone. That wasn\u2019t me who several times hit my limousine driver in back of the head, forcing him to park, jump out, and call police in Toronto. The guy who did it split, but I get the blame. Yeah, I did throw a bunch of eggs at the mansion next door in Calabasas but the guy was an asshole and trying to ruin my fun. I don\u2019t believe I did twenty grand in damage, and if I did, so what? I\u2019ll pay for it. But I shouldn\u2019t be responsible one of my buds had some illegal prescription drugs sitting on my coffee table. Right, he was the one arrested, but I\u2019m catching it in the media. Some people respond that the media are making me millions, showing photos of me performing and socializing with other beautiful young people. They\u2019re not making me money. I\u2019m making it for them always being a story people follow.<\/p>\n

And Miami. I guarantee the media\u2019s making way too much of nothing. I wasn\u2019t even drag racing my buddy. We were going less than sixty miles an hour. You call that drag racing? Get real. Our cars can go three times that fast, easy. And people tried to say I was drunk. Listen, the legal limit for blood alcohol is .08. I was at less than .02. That means I had less than a drink, okay. That\u2019s why I kept refusing to keep my hands on my car while being frisked and asked what the hell did I do? Why did you stop me? <\/p>\n

Lots of older guys with suits and deep voices are telling me to be careful about the trend, that I\u2019m only nineteen and things could get out of hand. I really doubt that. I live in a great house and nothing can go wrong here, I tell those dudes. They ask if I\u2019ve ever been to Graceland. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s this? Another article about me. Someone else. You want me to read it. All right. A young woman in Bakersfield is driving home from a party at three a.m. and heading east on a main street. The light is green and she\u2019s driving responsibly and her friend is following her to make sure everything\u2019s okay. As she enters the intersection her car\u2019s hit on the driver\u2019s door by a guy in a huge SUV booming south at a hundred twenty-eight miles an hour. The woman\u2019s head and torso are ripped off and scattered down the street. Her legs remain in her shattered car. The driver, Alex Anthony Rubio, is okay inside his flipped SUV. Instead of trying to help, he crawls out and runs from the scene and starts jumping over fences and fights when the police catch him. After being subdued Rubio\u2019s ordered to take off his shoes so police can prove his feet were the ones that made the escape tracks. Rubio at first complains his shoes are new, but whatever, he\u2019s got money, he\u2019ll get some new shoes. He better hurry to the store, though, because he\u2019s being charged with second-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Man, that\u2019s a sad story, it really is. I\u2019m sorry. But what does it have to do with me. I\u2019d never drink that much. I\u2019d never drive that fast. I\u2019d never hit anyone. I\u2019d never run if I did. I\u2019m pretty sure I wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
