Justin Bieber's Wax Statue Has Been Groped To Death

It’s a sad, sad day for Madame Tussauds in Time Square. Justin Bieber’s wax figure has had to go into early retirement due to damage from excessive groping, the New York Post reports.

How could you, Beliebers? How could you.

Madame Tussauds general manager Bret Pidgeon told the Post, “This is disappointing, but hopefully we can welcome a new ‘grown-up’ Justin back to the attraction in the near future.”

But I mean, who isn’t hoping a “grown up” Justin appears in the near future?
