Jackalope Tales – Summer Of Shade, Neuter Scooter

In this episode of Jackalope Tales, Lisa and Charles sharpen their shears and take aim at pop industry puppet master Scooter Braun — or as they like to call him, the world’s most polite snake in a thousand-dollar suit. Lisa kicks things off with the sad, weird saga of Lil Twist — the young rapper who went from being Justin Bieber’s BFF to Bieber’s personal fall guy, blamed for DUIs, wild parties, and basically any tabloid mess Scooter didn’t want splashed on his golden boy. Twist did the time so Bieber could keep doing the crime — and Scooter kept the PR machine spinning. Then Charles turns up the dark by diving into the rumor that Scooter nearly wrecked Demi Lovato’s sobriety for the sake of platinum singles. Picture it: Demi, freshly sober, surrounded by handlers who “just want her to relax” — except those handlers work for Scooter, and a relaxed, tipsy Demi writes better heartbreak songs. Or so they say. Two cautionary tales of loyalty, betrayal, and what happens when you trust the manager instead of your gut. Grab your headphones — it’s time to Neuter Scooter.
