Pattie Mallette, born April 2, 1975, in Stratford, Ontario, is best known
as the mother of pop superstar Justin Bieber. Her life, however, is a story
of resilience. Tragically, Pattie lost her sister at age 2, and her childhood
was marred by abvse and tr4uma. By 14, she struggled with substance use, theft,
and expulsion from school. At 17, after a suicide attempt, she found faith and began rebuilding her life.
Pattie gave birth to Justin at 18, raising him as a single mother in low-income
housing with support from her parents. Despite challenges, she nurtured Justin’s
love for music, entering him in the 2007 Stratford Star competition
and posting his performances online, leading to his global fame.
