Justin Bieber is returning what he calls “gossip” and “lies” on social networks, first addressing a whirlwind of concerns about his mental health that has spread online in recent months.
Bieber’s personal life has been a spotlight without scales of internet speculation for years, with each of his movements documented by fans and media accounts focused on celebrities. More recently, fans expressed their concern on social networks about their behavior in Coachella, where he was filmed smoking while he danced.
Bieber has rarely responded to online rumors, but published on Instagram on Thursday.
“They treat me as a … outside, but I remember that I am also defective and God forgave me, it helps me to stop feeling better than those people who are bad and hurtful,” Bieber wrote, 31. “Because when I am really honest, I can also be evil and hurtful.”
A Bieber representative did not respond to a request for comments.
The superstar of pop, which has spent all its adolescence and adulthood as a family name, has been opened about the way its early fame has affected its mental health. More recently, he has published online about his “anger problems” and his fears of being “not authentic” or “not sufficient.”
That has done little to quell online fervor around your personal life and anything you publish online.
In recent months, his online followers have raised speculation about a series of cryptic publications on Bieber’s social networks, which has been particularly active on Instagram this year. The publications, together with the videos captured by his fans in Coachella, have fed non -verified rumors about whether the Canadian singer is struggling with the use of substances or mental health problems.
During the music festival, Bieber also published content on his Instagram page of his enjoying the set of an artist and riding in a golf cart on the Coachella fields with friends.
In February, a Bieber representative told TMZ that Rumors about Bieber are false, and that continuous speculation about their mental and physical health is “exhausting and unfortunate and shows that, despite the obvious truth, people are committed to maintaining negative, salary and harmful narratives.”
In his last Instagram post, Bieber wrote: “My instinct is to be like a damn, I would not gossip and spread lies about someone on the Internet, but there are other S — of which I am not proud.”
As Bieber grew from a adolescent Internet phenomenon to a complete pop culture entity, his love life has been the focus of intense scrutiny and obsessive speculation of fans.
Throughout his decadienda relationship with his wife, Hailey Bieber, 28, fans have constantly compared their former flame Selena Gomez, often making unfounded accusations about the two women.
This parasocial dynamic, in which fans adopt unilateral emotional ties with their favorite celebrities, has led to statements about Bieber’s alleged affection for Gomez. His highly publicized romance from within and outside became a formative saga of pop culture for some fans, who now insist that Biebers marriage is false.
The couple, who married in 2018, welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, last year.
In 2020, Hailey Bieber shared in a long Instagram post that she “hurt[s] Very easily when I feel that people do not see my heart and I see myself for what I am, “and added that social networks are” a cruelty breeding ground. ”
“I could sit here all day and say that hate does not bother me, that the words that are said do not affect me. But the news flashes: it hurts to be shattered on the Internet!” She wrote. “It hurts to be compared to other human beings every day, it hurts people to reach conclusions and make assumptions.”
In its publication on Thursday, Justin Bieber also seemed to refer to the persistent Internet gossip on their relationship.
“And honestly, if I were you, it would be difficult not to be jealous if I saw me already Hailey going so Brazzzyy,” he wrote. “It really is for us and it is understandable why people can’t stand it. I don’t blame them.”
