Los Angeles - Justin Bieber has vowed he can't be "broken".
The Believe hitmaker insists he is "strong" and has a right to "defend himself" in apparent response to criticism of his behaviour in a taped deposition - including being rude to a court clerk, admitting to taking anti-anxiety drug Xanax without a prescription and feigning sleep - which leaked online.
He tweeted: "Love how some people love to twist and justify the horrible action of others. We all have a right to defend ourselves and feel harassed."
They can't break us. They can't get us down. We are too strong. We love too much. #mybeliebers
