Choreographer Emma Portner Slams Justin Bieber, Says He Paid Her 'Less Than Minimum Wage'

Emma Portner, a dancer and choreographer who worked with Justin Bieber on his Purpose tour, has issued a statement slamming him.

“@justinbieber I regret working under your name.I gave your universe my naive body, creativity, time, and effort. Twice. For content that you made millions off of. While I made zilch. Natta. Barely anything. Less than minimum wage for the hours I invested. I couldn’t afford to eat,” Emma, who is married to actress Ellen Page, wrote in a statement on Instagram Story.

“The way you degrade women is an abomination. You continue to collaborate with overly problematic people. You religiously go to a church that does not support the LGBTQ+ community,” Emma continued. “You have IMMENSE power. Use it to STOP DEGRADING WOMEN. We should all be ‘checking on you’ and Chris Brown because you both need to be held accountable.”

While Emma‘s statement does not mention Taylor Swift, one could assume that Emma might be referring to his statement he released aimed at Taylor‘s controversy with Scooter Braun.
