Justin Bieber has faced accusations of “degrading” and underpaying women.
The claims come from choreographer Emma Portner – wife of Ellen Page – following Justin’s online criticism of Taylor Swift’s feud with Scooter Braun.
“I regret working under your name,” professional dancer Emma Portner wrote on her Instagram story.
Justin Bieber’s #PurposeWorldTour choreographer/dancer, who also happens to be Ellen Page’s wife, slams the singer for allegedly paying her ‘less than minimum wage’ while working for him:

Emma choreographed his Purpose World Tour in 2016, and wrote: “I gave your universe my naive body, creativity, time and effort.”
“For content you made millions off of. While I made zilch.”
She alleged that Bieber “barely” paid her “minimum wage” for her work.
“I couldn’t afford to eat. I was sweeping studio floors to be able to practice my own craft,” she wrote. “The way you degrade women is an abomination.”
The dancer also criticized Bieber for collaborating with “problematic people” and for his commitment to attending a church that allegedly “does not support the LGBTQ+ community.”
She added: “I have so much to say but mostly … I really hope you educate yourself beyond your bible.
“You have IMMENSE power. Use it to STOP DEGRADING WOMEN.”

Hillsong Church, which Bieber attends, has previously defended itself against accusations of being “anti-LGBTQ+”
“Hillsong Church does not preach against anyone or any group; we are not ‘anti-anyone’.”
“We are an inclusive Christian church that loves, values and welcomes all people, regardless of their background, ethnicity, beliefs, values, or personal identity,” reads a blog post on their website.
