Justin Bieber has ended a friendship for downplaying his trauma and has posted aggressive messages that have alarmed his followers on social media.
“Asking a traumatised person not to be traumatised is cruel,” wrote Justin Bieber this Sunday in a message directed at a friend with whom he has publicly confessed to ending a relationship. The reason: that friend — whose name has not been disclosed — allegedly downplayed the emotional impact that the artist has carried for years.
Through a series of Instagram stories, the 31-year-old singer shared screenshots of a text conversation in which he defended his right to express anger: “Conflict is part of a relationship. If you don’t like my anger, you don’t like me.” He concluded with a blunt statement: “This friendship is officially over.”
The posts, which included shirtless images, a photo in which he appears to be smoking marijuana, aggressive selfies, and T-shirts with slogans like “Where is the romance,” did not go unnoticed. Some fans expressed concern for his mental health and urged him to “stay off Instagram for a few days.”
“Someone needs to take his phone away,” wrote one user on X. Another follower questioned why he was using middle-finger emojis even in pictures with his son Jack, such as a recent photo where the little one appears in his arms.
Amid the digital chaos, Bieber also shared snapshots with Hailey Bieber, stating they had returned from a romantic getaway. But neither the family setting nor the more gentle messages have managed to ease the growing concern among his followers.
