It’s been a really rough couple of months for Justin Bieber. He and Hailey Bieber continue to face constant rumors about trouble in their marriage, and more recently, there’s been speculation about the “Yummy” singer’s health and alleged substance use.
Back in March, Hailey was accused of liking a shady TikTok about Selena Gomez — a claim her rep has since denied — but the rumor reignited everyone’s obsession with the whole Hailey/Selena/Justin love triangle saga and fueled yet another wave of backlash against Hailey. This controversy came not too long after Justin temporarily unfollowed Hailey and then claimed it was because he got hacked. Unsurprisingly, none of that helped with the persistent divorce rumors.
Fans have expressed concerns about Justin’s health recently after seeing viral videos of him going off on paparazzi in Palm Springs and appearing noticeably out of it while partying at Coachella. He also shared a cryptic post about his “anger issues” that had the Beliebers worried.
On April 24, Justin shared exactly what the thinks about all the rumors in a lengthy Instagram Story caption: Here’s Justin Bieber’s response to the rumors about his health and marriage.

What Justin Bieber Said About His Health And Hailey Bieber Marriage
After an on-brand shoutout to Jesus, Justin finally addressed the rumors about his relationship and his health. “They treat me like ass out here, but I remember that I am flawed and God forgave me,” he wrote in the text-only Instagram Story. “It helps me to stop feeling better than those who are mean and hurtful because when I’m really honest, I can be mean and hurtful too.”
He explained, “My instinct is to be like, ‘Damn I wouldn’t gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet but there’s other shit I do I’m not proud of.” Justin pointed out that “hurt people hurt people” before weighing in on the speculation about him and Hailey.
“Honestly if I was u, it would be hard not to be jealous of me and Hailey going brazzzzyy,” he added. “It’s really up for us and that’s understandable why people can’t stand it.” (The singer doesn’t usually comment on the hate Hailey gets or the divorce rumors, so this was kind of a major step for him.) He claimed, “I don’t blame ’em” and compared himself and Hailey to the Joneses, who “are impossible to keep up with.”
Hailey also responded to the rumors last March in her own Instagram Story. “Just FYI the stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on Tik Tok are 100% of the time wrong,” she wrote at the time. “Made out of thin air…Come from the land of delusion…So I know it may be fun feeding into these stories but just know they’re always false. xx sorry to spoil it.”
Hoping for the best case scenario here: The internet is totally wrong, Justin’s in great health, and he and Hailey are actually thriving.
