Carly Rae Jepsen Stands Up for Justin Bieber: "He's a Good Guy"

Songstress insists her fellow Canadian is "doing the best he can" when it comes to dealing with the media

Carly Rae Jepsen clearly has Justin Bieber's back. Even if she hasn't been keeping up with his headline-making antics.

"I actually am so out of the loop on any of that, to be honest," the 27-year-old songstress told Billboard. "People are constantly like, 'Is Justin OK?' I've not really noticed any of that. I feel like Justin's a guy who's working hard every day, and I think the media can sometimes be a little brutal with stuff and over-exaggerate things."

The "Call Me Maybe" singer added, "But I stand by him. I support him. I think he's a good guy, and he's doing the best he can."

Then again, this isn't the first time Jepsen has defended her mentor and fellow Canadian.

"All I see is an incredibly hard worker and a man who's just passionate about what he does," Jepsen told E! News last month. "Just putting it on himself to take on a lot at once."

Of course, it sounds like if the Biebs ever needs a hand, he could probably just call Jepsen. Maybe.
