- In this November 18, 2012 file photo, Justin Bieber (right) and Pattie Mallette arrive at the 40th Anniversary American Music Awards, in Los Angeles.
The makers of ‘Crescendo’ hope to raise $10 million (Dh36 million) for pregnancy centres at screenings worldwide starting February 28. Mallette herself will appear at some of these, said production company Movie to Movement on Friday.
The pop star’s mother has written and spoken extensively about the addiction and abuse that led to her teenage pregnancy.
Mallette said in a statement she hopes her involvement with ‘Crescendo’ will “encourage young women all over the world, just like me, to let them know that there is a place to go, people who will take care of you and a safe home to live in if you are pregnant and think you have nowhere else to turn.”
