Will And Jada Smith Encourage Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber may have had a tough time in London last week, but he's getting a lot of support not just from his fans, but from powerful Hollywood couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

The famous couple came to the pop star's defense after he was ridiculed for showing up to a concert performance in London two hours late and then getting into a scuffle with the paparazzi a few days later. Bieber tweeted that the actors cheered him up with words of encouragement.

"Love to big man Will Smith for the great talk yesterday. We know the truth and we must stand tall. Love u man! thanks!" Bieber tweeted on Saturday.

Jada Pinkett Smith went even further, writing an open letter on her Facebook page on Sunday called "Are We Bullying Our Young Artists?"

"How can we ask for our young stars to have a high level of responsibility if we are not demonstrating that same level of responsibility towards them?" Jada wrote. "I was trying to differentiate cyber-bullying from how we attack and ridicule our young stars through media and social networks ... Do we feel as though we can say and do what we please without demonstrating any responsibility simply because they are famous? Is it okay to continually attack and criticize a famous 19 year old who is simply trying to build a life, exercise his talents while figuring out what manhood and fame is all about as he carries the weight of supporting his family as well as providing the paychecks to others who depend on him to work so they can feed their families as well?"
