'I fear for people': Madison Beer feels 'protective' of young stars

Madison Beer feels "protective" of young stars.

The 26-year-old singer first found fame as a child, and Madison has learned some hard lessons during the course of her career.

The brunette beauty told the Observer newspaper: "People are so quick to be like: ‘This is what’s wrong with this person,’ and attack someone’s character.

"The first boyfriend I had [Jack Gilinsky of pop-rap duo Jack and Jack] … I got so much hate from his fanbase and all of these people online. I learned, very early, that people can be quite cruel.

"I definitely feel protective [of younger stars] and I fear for people."

By contrast, Madison didn't feel "very protected" during her younger years.

She said: "I would hope that people are now like, ‘Bullying a 15-year-old is unacceptable’, whereas when I was 15, that wasn’t really a conversation. I didn’t really feel very protected."
