Just as we thought Roast season was over following AIB's rather failed attempt to introduce the format to the Indian audiences, highlights from the roast of pop sensation Justin Bieber have surfaced and are giving people something to talk about.
Merciless probing of the just turned 21-year-old was much expected but what was not expected was Beiber's heartfelt apology.

His humble attempt to end the Comedy Central Roast on a good note on Saturday night in Los Angeles didn't stop him from getting skewered by friends and comedians at the annual event, Variety reported.

Apologising publicly for his mistakes he explained “There was really no preparing me for this life. I was thrown into this at 12 years old, and I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. There’s been moments I’m really proud of and a lot of moments I look back and I’m pretty disappointed with myself for."

As the star wholeheartedly attempted to remove the stains from his much tarnished image he said, "The things that I’ve done really don’t define who I am. I’m a kind-hearted person who loves people and, through it all, lost some of my best qualities. For that, I’m sorry. But what I can say is that I’m looking forward to being someone you can look at and be proud of.”

If Bieber believed this was going to let him off in the roast, he was very much mistaken. Roastmaster Kevin Hart didn't hold back against the young star despite being a friend of his.
After the jokes, Hart led a rousing choir which asked the audience to 'Belieb', referring to Beiber's growing fanbase that have been dubbed 'Beliebers'.
Jeffrey Ross had joked, "Selena Gomez wanted to be here but she's dating men now. Is it true you dumped her because she grew a mustache before you?"
"You're like our beetles. Not the band, the bugs that live in sh*t." Natasha Leggero joked.
Bieber did not shy away from the jokes and made an attempt to get involved in the roast and said, "Look, I'm new to comedy, but here's a joke: What do you get when you given a teenager $200 million dollars? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbi*n for two hours."
Following the event, fans and celebrities took to Twitter to share their views on Bieber, his apology and the roast.
