Justin Bieber has been sparking more fears for his mental health and wellbeing with yet more erratic behavior and a source exclusively tells In Touch he’s feeding off the panicked reactions while frustrating everyone in his life to no end.
“Justin absolutely loves messing with people and getting a reaction,” the source explains. “He was doing this way back in his Selena Gomez days and the immaturity of it drove her crazy.”
“After he married Hailey he calmed way down and didn’t seem to have the same need to stir up trouble for attention, but lately he’s totally backsliding into those old patterns.”
The “Baby” singer, 31, started posting some cryptic statements recently that kicked off rumors ranging from drug use to impending divorce from wife Hailey, 28.
“Jesus didn’t heal his best friend Lazareth [sic] right away. Even tho he knew people would talk s–t, saying how could he be god if he didn’t heal his best friend?” The Canadian singer wrote on his Instagram Stories on March 6.
Justin continued the odd rant, adding, “But Jesus wasn’t trying to please everyone and didn’t allow people to rush him. He knew what he was capable of.”
“Jesus is never late. He shows up and RAISES HIM FROM THE DEAD SHOWING THAT HE HAS THE POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH,” he concluded.
Since the birth of his first child, son Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024, the “That Should Be Me” singer has appeared disheveled in public and has friends worried for his well being. However, the source insists he’s pushing people’s buttons on purpose, though “No one is quite sure why, if it’s just the pressure he’s under right now and his way of coping or what, but everyone in his world is sick of it.”
Justin’s rep also firmly denied any drug use, stating the gossip was “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
Rumors also popped up alleging trouble in the singer’s marriage to Hailey after temporarily unfollowing her on Instagram, but the two squashed any talk of a split with a romantic Valentine’s Day show of force.
Hailey denied any turbulence in her marriage in an Instagram post. “Just FYI the stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on TikTok are 100 [percent] of the time wrong. 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,” she stated.
Despite the denials, the source says Justin’s still acting erratically, getting the people around him worked up just for kicks.
“Here he is pleading for privacy, he’s got his wife worried about him, he knows fans are concerned, and yet he’s going on-line and putting up strange videos that have the world questioning the state of his health,” the insider adds. “It’s just beyond immature and very frustrating for everyone in his life, because they’re trying to protect him and once again he’s acting like his own worst enemy.”
