People dislike Trace because there are rumors that he kind of flaunts the fact that he's Justin's best friend around to get women. I don't know how much I believe that but I know someone who met him last year and he was a complete ass to her. In fact, Lynn had to break up the arguement between her and him. I think that the rumors are what fuels the "Let's hate Trace fire."

My opinion? Trace keeps Justin sane. They have been best friends for years and he knows more about Justin than anyone else including the guys. It's nice to know Justin has someone like Trace around. I don't mind the kid even if he is a little goofy and wears horrid outfits to the VMAs. lol
