It has only been a day since Justin Bieber was arrested for drag racing and DUI, but the effect on his family is already quite painful.

The “As Long As You Love Me” singer’s dad Jeremy Bieber took to his Twitter account to demand that the public quit going after his boy.

Papa Bieber declared, "I can protect my kids, but I can't protect them from you and your lies. Believe in the truth not in the lies of the enemy. #reallife."

The day before Justin got into trouble, Jeremy was with him in Miami Beach, spending a little quality father-son bonding time on a rented Segway.
