The 25-year-old Madison Beer has many accomplishments under her name. The young American is well-known as a singer, model, songwriter, actor, and judge on the show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” For Madison Beer, her fame on the world wide web began in 2012 when Justin Bieber shared a video of the then 12-year-old singing a cover of his song. In 2013, Beer kick-started her acting career through the movie “Louder Than Words.”
Over the years, Madison has released many hit songs like ‘Melodies’ featuring Justin Bieber (2013) and ‘Unbreakable’ (2014), and also featured in DJ Mako’s ‘I Won’t Let You Walk Away’ in 2015. She has also worked as a model with reputed organizations by walking the runway for Dolce and Gabbana’s 2017 fall show.
Beer released her first E.P. in 2018 called “As She Pleases.” She even launched her cosmetics company in collaboration with Morphe in 2020. Her second album, “Life Support,” came out in 2021.
Madison Beer and Her Leaks Controversy
Madison Beer has always had controversy surrounding her sexuality, and in 2016 she came out to the world as bisexual. However, the stories of Madison’s love and sexual life began getting highlighted well before 2016.
As a young teen of 15, Madison Beer was experiencing her share of love and relationship. It all changed when the boy she liked ended up leaking the nudes she had sent him. On the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” as well as in her upcoming memoir, Madison Beer opens up about the leaks and the ‘traumatizing’ aftermath of it all.
Madison recollects being in bed when she first found out about the videos being leaked. She felt distraught and ashamed. Beer said that the most difficult part was accepting that she wasn’t in the wrong and that she was a victim. She also spoke of how difficult it was to ask for help. She remembers collapsing to the floor after getting wind of the leak.
On top of it all, instead of receiving support from the adults around her, Madison Beer was chastised by the adults over something that had never been her fault. They kept making discouraging comments about how this wasn’t good and that it would affect her career. Shortly afterward, Madison’s label dropped her too. This was all too much for her to take at such a young age.
Beer speaks about the difficulty she had opened up to her mother in order to ask for help. She received mixed opinions on the leaks. Some sympathized with her, but some just didn’t seem to care about how it affected her, while many others blamed her for it all. They called her dumb for recording the videos in the first place.
Madison also opened up about contemplating suicide. She revealed how her younger brother found her standing on top of the ledge of the balcony in LA. He luckily found her at the right time and called his parents for help.
However, the singer now rejoices in the fact that her attempts at suicide weren’t successful. Now, as a grown woman, Madison Beer has been putting her best efforts into healing from it all. She has been vocal on her social media about her struggles with mental health and the need for support in those times.
In 2020, on International Women’s Day, Madison Beer tweeted about her experience surrounding the leak controversy. She said she was claiming her power back. She wrote that she would like to give her 14-year-old self the advice that she was exploring her sexuality and that it wasn’t something to be ashamed of. In fact, those who shamed her for doing so were the ones at fault. This, she hoped, would help other young girls and women out there.
In the interview on the podcast, Madison Beer expresses her hopes that, in the current times, the internet would protect such young girls and that platforms like TikTok and Twitter would take such content down instantaneously. She wishes no other girl to suffer the way she did and hopes that girls and women alike understand themselves, their rights, and their power.
