" Carly Rae Jepsen has come to the defense of mentor Justin Bieber, who has experienced a wave of negative publicity in recent months. The &amp;#039;Boyfriend&amp;#039; singer&amp;#039;s concert tour has been plagued with problems, and he is also facing a possible battery charge for allegedly spitting at a neighbor during an argument.  Jepsen was asked to comment about Bieber&amp;#039;s recent personal problems by E! News, but was quick to insist that her friend has been unfairly maligned. &amp;quot;All I see is an incredibly hard worker and a man who&amp;#039;s just passionate about what he does,&amp;quot; Jepsen explained. The star continued: &amp;quot;[He&amp;#039;s] just putting it on himself to take on a lot all at once... I think if anything I&amp;#039;m inspired by how hard he works, and I definitely want to add that to my own mantra as just like working really hard and doing my thing.&amp;quot; Bieber was also recently defended by will.i.am, with whom he collaborated on the hit &amp;#039;#thatpower&amp;#039;.
