Justin Bieber’s Former Bodyguard Defends The Pop Star On Twitter! Find Out What He Said!

6/01/2014 6:00 PM ET | Filed under: Twitter • Justin Bieber

We were so upset to hear about the video where 15-year-old Justin Bieber was getting a good laugh out of telling racist jokes that used the n-word, and now people are coming to defend him!

The 20-year-old’s former bodyguard, Kenny Hamilton, is a black man who spent tons of time with Bieber, who he no longer works for because he got a job at Beats Music!

And he says that The Biebs is not racist at all, he just said some ignorant ish. Kenny tweeted:

As a black man I am telling the world that @justinbieber is not a racist. I have known him since he was 12 years old and I know his heart.

He will always be criticized and judged every day of his life by people who only know him because of blogs or the press. That won't change

— Kenny Hamilton (@KennyHamilton) June 1, 2014

Yes he said some bad jokes and I know if he could he would take back what was said. He's grown a lot in 5 years and as we all grow we learn

— Kenny Hamilton (@KennyHamilton) June 1, 2014

What I do know whole heartedly is @justinbieber is not prejudice nor is he racist. He wasn't raised that way and his family isn't either.

We all make jokes about people's size, look, or race. That doesn't mean it's right but comedians make millions of dollars profiting off…

…of these jokes. If someone is racist or prejudice you would know from a persons actions. Not because of a joke a 15 year old says.

— Kenny Hamilton (@KennyHamilton) June 1, 2014

Well said! And you should know that Justin and his manager Scooter Braun did NOT ask Kenny to say this.

While the pop star’s joke was tasteless and ignorant, he was 15 years old! He’s proved since then, just in his everyday life that Bieber is a lover of all people!

That said, we’re still waiting for him to man-up and own his mistake!

I don't understand why Donald Sterling & Paula Deen were destroyed by the media but he gets a free pass. Double standard at play.

Re: Mad Dog – Because he was a 15 yr old kid and they were grown adults. If you can hoenstly say you never made a stupid comment when you were 15 kudos but it is not even in the same catagory as the the other people you mentioned. Just to make it clear i am not a fan of the young man I think he is an immature nitwit but you cant judge the actions someone made when they were 15.

In a business that includes competitive jealousy and backstabbing we have a genuine man who is stepping up to defend a fellow artist without asking for anything in return. Kenny Hamilton is a stand up guy-obviously confident and sincere-impressive- all the best to u and yours !

Confirmed: Kelly Osbourne Quits Fashion Police!

Kelly Osbourne is signing off!

The Fashion Police co-host gave E! her walking papers today.

The 30-year-old threatened to quit earlier this week, after her co-host Giuliana Rancic made insensitive comments about Zendaya's hair at the Oscars.

Giuliana publicly apologized to Zendaya and Kelly seemingly moved on. But sources reveal Kelly has been discontent with Fashion Police even before the hair controversy.
