Madison Beer is serving looks on the cover of Cosmopolitan, but despite her stunning visuals and fashion choices, the singer has pinched hearts with a heartbreaking revelation.
In her candid interview with the magazine, she opened up about the devastating moment when she was dropped by her label, lawyer, and manager Scooter Braun.
“Literally the same day my manager dropped me, my lawyer dropped me, and my label dropped me. Everything in my life went away within 12 hours.”
Madison Beer, 26, revealed just how young she was when it all happened, and not even a degree could support her after she was let go.
“I was 16 and my label was like, 'Good luck.' And I’m like, 'You guys just stole years of my childhood that I’ll never get back. And now it’s just ‘good luck’ and ‘have fun’? I can’t go to college because I’ve been homeschooled. I have a high school degree and nothing else because of my career.”
She also revealed that it occurred when her “whole family uprooted and moved to Los Angeles with no connections,” combined with the fact that she herself had no friends at that time.
When asked if she was ever given an explanation, Madison Beer answered:
“I hadn’t been successful enough. There was a conversation around me when I was 14, I remember people being like, 'She’s too sexy' and 'We can’t sell the sex because she’s so young, so we’d have to wait.' This was a real conversation, grown men talking about how I was too sexy. I was 14.”
As to how she coped with it, she revealed that the hardest part was realizing that the people she had grown attached to and believed loved her never reached out to her again.
“I went from being kissed on the forehead like, ‘You’re family to us—come to our house for Thanksgiving,' and ‘We all love you, you’re going to be the female Justin Bieber, give it a year' to being dropped on my head."
She also reflected on the feeling of being treated as a commodity, saying:
“I felt like I was a dollar sign to them and when I didn't bring in enough money, they didn’t care about me anymore. Maybe they shouldn’t have signed a 12-year-old without thinking of the consequences of what that was going to do.”
Madison Beer also spoke about how that experience shifted her perspective, especially that she interacts with young fans:
“It feels even crazier now because when I have 12-year-old girls come to my meet-and-greets, I’m like, ‘You’re a baby. There’s no way that I was a signed artist at your age.'”
Branding it as “sickening,” she further said:
“The lack of caring about my childhood was so disturbing. I was like, ‘Wow, y’all really don’t give a f***.'"
Madison Beer on her next career moment and relationship’s future: “Neither of us are equipped for whatever the fuck might come”
Shifting gears, Madison Beer shared a glimpse into her romantic life, offering insight into her relationship dynamics. When asked about her role as a partner, she had an honest reply:
“A bit needy. I love all the attention in the world, which sometimes means I shoot myself in the foot because obviously no one can give me that all the time.”
Madison Beer confessed that she’s “just a lover girl,” although she admitted that her partner might have a different perspective on her emotional needs.
The conversation also touched on her relationship's future, especially with her rapidly rising career. When asked if her boyfriend is prepared for her “next career moment,” she bluntly responded:
“No, neither of us are equipped for whatever the fuck might come.”
Despite the uncertainties, Madison Beer is excited about the future, especially knowing her partner will be by her side through it all.
“Yes, I know he’s going to support me, but do I think that he knows or I know or my parents know or my brother knows how we’re going to feel or go through it if and when that does happen? No.”
She also alluded to how her growing success might impact her relationships with others:

“But in terms of certain other people, don’t think that if and hopefully when this album goes crazy, I’m not going to be like, 'You didn’t give me the time of fucking day and now you want to be my best friend. Goodbye. Get out of my face, genuinely.'”
On the horizon for Madison Beer is her highly anticipated new album, set to drop later this year. Her last release, Silence Between Songs (2023), garnered critical acclaim and even earned a Grammy nomination for Best Immersive Audio Album at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
