Fan Reactions
The responses to Bieber’s post were polarized. Some fans expressed concern about his choices, with one user commenting, “Jesus freed you from that, bro, why are you going back to that?” Another fan voiced worry for Bieber’s 6-month-old son, Jack, stating, “I hope Jack doesn’t have to be around all this smoke. A kid doesn’t deserve it.”Conversely, other supporters defended Bieber, arguing that smoking marijuana is not inherently harmful. One user wrote, “Y’all are F-KING trippin. It’s weed, not crack cocaine,” while another added, “Why is everyone on him for smoking? When I smoke weed, it calms down my anxiety and my depression.”

They characterized this year as “very transformative” for Justin, noting that he has ended several friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.

Recent public appearances have raised eyebrows, including a peculiar display at Hailey’s Rhode skincare pop-up event where he was seen smiling and swaying without apparent context. Additionally, he has been spotted visiting various spas across the country. A source close to the couple revealed that Hailey is “really concerned” for Justin and is struggling to manage the situation. “Justin is going through a hard time, and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do,” the insider stated.
