Claims of debt, drug use and cult-like church as Justin Bieber shares cryptic selfies on IG
Published By admin
Pop icon Justin Bieber has reignited public concern following a bizarre Instagram post over the weekend that has prompted fans to question his mental and emotional well-being. The 31-year-old singer uploaded a string of unsettling mirror selfies, paired with a cryptic caption that many interpreted as a cry for help—reigniting rumours of substance abuse, marital strain, and links to a controversial religious group.The now-viral Instagram carousel featured exaggerated facial expressions and an ominous caption:“U could point at my flaws Or u could recognize ur own lil b***🩸.”Though some interpreted it as a sarcastic remark, many fans took a more serious view. “He’s clearly not okay,” one commenter wrote. Another pleaded, “Why are the people around him not helping?”According to TMZ, this latest upload comes amid a wave of speculation about Bieber’s private life. Earlier this year, the singer appeared visibly out of sorts during wife Hailey Bieber’s “Rhode” skincare event, prompting renewed questions about his mental state.
In May, Bieber also shared another Instagram carousel in which he was seen smiling with a large glass bong on his lap.
While many viewed the post as a celebration of recreational drug use, his representativeshave denied this. A spokesperson told TMZ in February that “the recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,” emphasising that the artist is “in one of the best places in his life,” actively raising his newborn son with Hailey and working on new music.Still, that reassurance hasn’t quieted the speculation.TMZ delved deeper, reporting on a string of issues affecting the singer, including financial instability, alleged tensions in his marriage, and his ties to a controversial religious institution—widely believed to be Hillsong Church or a related offshoot. Bieber, a long-time follower of pastor Carl Lentz (who was dismissed from Hillsong amid scandal), has in the past credited the church with helping him through personal turmoil. But critics argue that the church’s influence may be unhealthy and cult-like.
