We’re looking back at the premiere of Justin Bieber‘s Never Say Never movie, which hit theaters ten years ago TODAY (February 11) in 2011.
The concert documentary, directed by Jon M Chu, showed footage from Justin‘s sold out Madison Square Garden concert, and also featured special guests Miley Cyrus, Sean Kingston and Jaden Smith, as well as backstage and behind-the-scenes access of the days before, leading up to the big concert.
“10 years #NeverSayNever,” Justin simply wrote on Twitter to commemorate the anniversary, along with the movie poster.
“10 years ago today. Wow. @justinbieber it is still @jonmchu’s best work LOL. Love all involved. 10 years later love you guys,” Justin‘s longtime manager Scooter Braun shared on Instagram.
While the Los Angeles premiere of the film, held on February 8, 2011, had a ton of celebrities in attendance, the New York premiere the week before on February 2nd, was attended by Justin‘s now wife Hailey Bieber and her dad Stephen Baldwin.
The 21-year-old posted her first new video since December 2019.
She kicked off her video with an intro addressing the college admissions scandal and her Red Table Talk video.
“I am really excited because obviously I haven’t filmed in a really long time and I’m just grateful to be back on YouTube and I’m really excited for you guys to watch this video,” Olivia said. “I wanted to film this little intro part just because I didn’t want to just start the vlog and me not address anything.”
“Obviously, did my Red Table Talk interview and I think if you have any questions for me or you have anything to say or you’re like ‘Why are you back?’ you can go watch that interview. I think I kind of disclosed what I thought I needed to say on there,” she added.
Olivia also added an additional insert explaining, “I didn’t want this to come across the wrong way… I don’t mean to say that in a dismissive way or a pretentious way. I think what I was trying to get across was I felt like the thing I wanted to do the most was apologize for so long and I felt like I got to do that at Red Table.”
“Although I can’t change the past, I can change how I act and what I do going forward,” she continued. “I just didn’t want anybody to take it the wrong way and seem like I’m being like, ‘I went on Red Table and now my name’s cleared!’ Like, no that’s not it. But just for my own mental sanity I don’t want to keep rehashing things. I just want to move on and do better and move forward and come back and do what I love, which is YouTube.”
Olivia Jade also shared a disclaimer about the money she makes off of her videos.
“I will be donating a percentage of my adsense on ALL videos going forward to a charity I work with and really admire,” she wrote.
The 21-year-old took to TikTok to share her thoughts on coming back to the platform.
“like this if i should bring back my #vlogzzzzz also tried to show u guys this natural makeup look (i can do a tutorial if anyone wants) Kk bye😄🤎 ily,” she captioned a video.
A fan then replied and said, “Please post again on YouTube I love watching your videos!!!!”
“Thank you so much for the sweet comment. I just want to say, first of all, comments like this actually make my day. I’m just really grateful,” Olivia said. “And also, okay, I will. I guess I will come back to YouTube. What? Ah!”
Olivia‘s revelation comes just a day after her mom, Lori Loughlin, was released from prison early, following the college admission scandal.
