Just when you thought he had enough problems, Justin Bieber's Madame Tussauds waxwork statue has been 'severely damaged' by fans groping and fondling the statue.
The New York Post reports that the statue has been removed from Madame Tussauds in New York for repairs, after prolonged 'man-handling' by Beliebers.
"With no ropes or barriers to stop them, thousands of fans have had their photographs taken with him since then - but it has taken its toll," a source told the New York Post.
A spokesman added that the damage is so severe that "it no longer does justice either to the star or to the attraction."
Madame Tussauds general manager Bret Pidgeon, told the NY Post: "This is disappointing, but hopefully we can welcome a new 'grown-up' Justin back to the attraction in the near future."

Meanwhile in the real world of flesh and bone, Bieber was arrested twice in January - once for allegedly assaulting a limo driver and again for allegedly driving under the influence during a drag race in Miami.
