Justin Bieber is once again at the center of intense public scrutiny after a string of erratic social media posts and livestreams raised fresh concerns over his mental health and the state of his marriage to Hailey Bieber. The 31-year-old pop star posted a series of memes and videos this week that many interpreted as veiled references to tensions in his personal life, prompting alarm among fans and industry observers alike.
One post that particularly captured attention showed a man taunting his girlfriend following an argument. "Me acting nonchalant after an argument to make my bae more mad," the caption read. In the video, the man mocks the woman with exaggerated pleasantries before adding, "No entiendo," Spanish for "I don't understand." Bieber reposted the clip to his Instagram Stories without commentary, but many fans linked it to earlier posts that suggested turmoil between the singer and his wife.
Earlier this month, Bieber had shared another meme showing a child flipping dual middle fingers "behind my girlfriend after she made me mad." The social media pattern, coupled with a disturbing livestream in which he appeared disheveled, shirtless, and withdrawn while rapping to demo tracks, triggered speculation over his wellbeing. At one point during the stream, he wrapped himself in an orange blanket and appeared dissociated.
Fans flooded social media with expressions of worry. "He is not okay and it's so obvious," one user wrote. Another added, "I hope he gets professional help. That's sad."
Compounding the concerns were rumors that Hailey Bieber had unfollowed her husband on Instagram, though she later dismissed the speculation. "It's a glitch. Didn't unfollow him," she wrote on TikTok, attempting to quell the speculation.
Yet Bieber's posts continued to reflect emotional volatility. On Saturday, he posted a cryptic message alongside a childhood photo of Hailey, soundtracked with Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time," a song that reflects on a love that has soured. The lyrics - "Do you remember when we fell in love?... It just seemed like heaven, so why did it end?" - only intensified speculation that all is not well behind closed doors.
An insider told DailyMail.com that Hailey has struggled with her husband's erratic behavior since the beginning of their marriage. "She loves him madly but he's a loose cannon," the source said, noting that her friends have advised her to consider separation. "His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She's put up with a lot."
Even fatherhood, which some hoped would stabilize Bieber, has not brought lasting change, according to sources close to the couple. Their son, Jack Blues, was born eight months ago.
Hailey "works all the time," the insider said. Justin "chills with friends" and spends time at home. “When the baby was born he was there for her and she thought being a father would change him... but it hasn't stuck."
Bieber's recent posts have alternated between distressing and affectionate. After his concerning livestream, he shared several photos of Hailey, one featuring her head bowed at a table with a heart emoji, others showing her smiling or waiting in line. He offered no captions, leaving followers to interpret their significance.
Adding to the whirlwind was Bieber's candid admission over the weekend: "I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh." Later, he added, "I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic."
In one black-and-white photo posted to Instagram Stories, Bieber revealed he was on a FaceTime call with Dr. Jocelyn Miranda, a chiropractor and performance specialist known for working with high-profile clients. "Luv you girl," Bieber wrote on the photo, suggesting he is seeking support from trusted health professionals.
The Grammy winner was previously diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022, which caused partial facial paralysis and led him to cancel his world tour. Since then, public appearances have been sporadic, often marked by worry over his emotional and physical state.
