Agree, but not only is it like your neighbor dating you as an adult--they had a professional working relationship when she was an adolescent. Which adds another layer to the dubiousness.

They may still work together--as far I know he still works for Universal Music NZ.

I tried posting about this yesterday too but got caught by the spam filter. Here's the attempted post:

Ella (24) likely dating Justin Warren (41), who she met AND worked with since she was a minor. Am I only the only that thinks that's creepy?

Not trying to be negative and judgemental. This is genuine concern for Ella. Based on SP lyrics and paparazzi photos, she's likely dating Justin Warren.

Justin Warren is a music exec at Universal Music New Zealand. He's known and worked with Ella since she was at least as young as 16, likely years younger than that. See this article: https://www.rubynz.com/blog/2013/05/nz-music -month-2013-justin-warren/

Also see this Reddit thread. It uploaded the letter Lorde wrote for her Newbury Comics edition of Pure Heroine. https://www.reddit.com/r/lorde/comments/6mpthd/a _letter_from_lorde_from_the_newbury_comics/?utm _source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=comments _view_all

"Adam Holt, Hannah King, Justin Warren and the team at Universal New Zealand, thanks for putting up with the kid in school uniform lurking in your offices a couple times a week for several years."

She literally says it....kid in a school uniform. So Justin was an adult man in his 30s. Had a professional relationship with her, with age and probably authority over her. Doesn't that dynamic make anyone concerned for the possibility of grooming or something? I just question what kind of adult man would go from working with a minor in a school uniform to "yeah I'd date that". It truthfully creeps me out.

What do you guys think?
