‘Different lives': Hailey Bieber's photos can't distract fans enough from one thing
Hailey Bieber is just trying to celebrate her billion-dollar business deal in peace, but there's an elephant in the room and his name is Justin Bieber.
The 28-year-old model, who married the Baby pop singer in 2018, announced last week that her beauty brand Rhode, which launched in 2022, had been acquired by e.l.f Beauty for a staggering $1 billion (A$1.56b).
Hailey immediately headed over to Instagram to celebrate the big news. She said she was 'incredibly excited' to announce the buyout and that she'd always had 'big dreams' for her skincare and makeup brand.
Creating a billion-dollar brand in three short years is undeniably impressive. Shortly afterwards, the model and mother-of-one posted a photo dump of herself on Instagram, looking hot in a cowboy hat and bikini.
The carousel also included various shots of her rocking a thong and drinking out of a mug, which is very business-meets-influencer.
There was even a cute photo of a cake with 'proud of you' written across it in icing, and the post, captioned 'lemon drop martinis all summer long', made Hailey's life look pretty bloody perfect.
She's living the dream, looking gorgeous, and she's never been richer. There's only one small problem: everyone's deeply worried about her husband.
So, while some fans are commenting things like, 'You're the sexiest mum', 'Gorgeous stunning radiant' and 'Queen', the post is also getting clogged up with concern about Justin Bieber.
'This woman's husband is in a full spiral and she's posting thirst traps,' one complained.
'I worry about Justin. Get him help!! Support him,' another fan pleaded.
'You and your husband are living crazy different lives!,' someone else said.
'Are you aware your husband is having a huge crisis? You need to be with him right now,' one demanded.
While Hailey's celebrating her deal (as she should), Justin's been looking noticeably thinner and posting erratically on Instagram, where he has 294 million followers.
The 31-year-old singer posted a string of blurry selfies of him wearing a red tracksuit and captioned the photo dump: 'U could point at my flaws or you could recognise your own lil bitch.'
Fans were immediately concerned.
'This is hard to watch,' one wrote.
'Pull yourself together,' someone else said.
'We are genuinely concerned about you,' one admitted.
'I'm worried' someone else wrote.
Bieber's behaviour has become more erratic since selling his masters in 2022 for a reported $200 million. In 2023, he cut ties with his long-time manager, Scooter Braun, and then cancelled his world tour.
He also hasn't released any new music since 2022, and in April 2025, he announced he was no longer involved with his fashion brand Drew House, which he co-founded with his former stylist and friend Ryan Good.
In February, in response to concerns about his health, Bieber's representatives told TMZ that he was going through a 'transformative' time.
'As he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.'
Justin's also continued to look thinner and more gaunt and has been seen out and about in increasingly bizarre outfits.
While Hailey posts curated thirst traps and celebrates business dollar deals, Justin posts close-ups of his face and barely readable captions.
None of this, of course, should diminish Hailey's success, and it certainly isn't up to a woman to save a man, but it does make Hailey's Instagram feed feel jarring in comparison.

A game of deception and extraction: How influencers embody the logic of social media - ABC Religion & Ethics
If you want to know how something ends, consider how it begins. Social media, we were told, was about connection, a new frontier for community, dialogue and shared experience. But its origin story tells a different truth. These lofty ideals, if they ever existed, were championed by an anti-social Harvard drop-out who launched a site to rate women's appearances side-by-side. From its inception, this technology was less about connection and more about control, comparison and commodification. We were told that social media would connect us all. It was implied, therefore, that we were deficient in connection — that we needed a new media, a 'social' media, to bring us together. This media would strengthen communities, forge new ties among disparate peoples; they could find and bond with each other in our messy, lonely, world. If you want someone to buy something or use something, first tell them they are lacking. Social media told us what we lacked was each other . What we were given was a euphemism, an appeal to our longing for each other: used to build systems that monetise our attention, our trust and our behaviour. If there was ever any semblance of real connection on social media — if, for instance, in 2010, connection meant sharing images of your dinner or updating your status as Roman does in Easy A to 'is having an OK day and bought a coke zero at the gas station, raise the roof' — it no longer exists. In 2025, 'social' media is a marketing machine: if you're online, you're either marketing, being marketed to, or often, both . At the centre of this online circus is the influencer. Enter … the influencer These characters, the dramatis personae in this digital narrative, present themselves as relatable, authentic, just-like-you-but-a-bit-better, friends. But peel back the thick, thick layers of performance and what remains is simple: they are salespeople. Their job is to blur the line between personal expression and commercial transaction — to make persuasion look like friendship. Influencers are the foot soldiers of the algorithms that dictate the plot of these online theatrics. They execute the narrative demands of the platforms that created them — platforms built not for connection and truth, but for squeezing every morsel of attention out of the audience as possible. Out of you . Influencers form so-called 'parasocial' bonds with their followers. Parasocial bonds are one-sided relationships designed to feel 'authentic', intimate and personal, but which are in reality strategies of marketing co-dependency to convert intrinsic human need into profit. In this light, 'para' might as well stand for para- sitic , given the way this dynamic drains the audience of its most precious resource: time. These commercial actors, these merchants, surreptitiously deceive their followers by disguising their intent as care and guidance. Influencers convince their followers that they simply aim to help and serve — they just want to help you get your house in order. Whether it's supplements, diet tips, morning routines, Stoicism, lads' holidays to Afghanistan, self-help advice, every post is a sales pitch. The influencer's power lies in their ability to disguise commercial intent as information provision, to blur the line between personal expression and advertising. The result is a highly effective form of trickery: a follower believes they're receiving genuine guidance, when they are in fact being sold something — often underpinned by ulterior motives or undisclosed sponsorships. History isn't short on charlatans, quacks or snake oil salesmen. But today's influencer is more powerful and more pervasive. They speak over experts. They shape public opinion. And in many cases — vaccine hesitancy being just one example — they're winning. It's only 'content', after all … Influencers, many of whom shy away from the term (perhaps because of an awareness of its negative connotations), sometimes prefer to be referred to as 'content creators'. Creators of 'content'. It all seems rather innocuous. It's just content, after all. Content never hurt anyone, did it? Content is merely a benign, ethereal, substance, isn't it? In fact, what exactly is this content, anyway? What is this content that we are being force fed? Well, advertising, mostly. Advertising a lifestyle, a product, a belief system or an identity, a pursuit or hobby, a charity or a cause. A point of view or an ideology. We are advertised fake 'transformations', unhealthy diets, quack science on everything from the benefits of saunas and the importance of protein (has anyone else wondered why the cottage cheese is sold out at the moment?) to the unfounded dangers of vaccinating children — as if one of the greatest achievements in modern science is something to be suspicious of. Influencers are anything but friends. Nor are they neutral acquaintances. They're specialists in online manipulation and the attending offline effects. In fact, many influencers are so talented that they convince their followers that they are experts — and not only experts, but experts willing to convey their expertise pro bono and altruistically. And thanks to their more relatable appeal, influencers can compete, and win, against actual experts — thus spreading inaccurate information or worse.

(Photo by Jeff Bottari / Zuffa LLC / Getty Images) The real-world ramifications of this can be disastrous — ranging from genocide to a rise in communicable diseases, to false or misleading 'bro science' about whichever 'wellness' fad is trending. And when it all goes wrong, an influencer unlike an expert, can throw up their hands and claim they're just a regular person, just giving their opinion — 'do your own research'. There's no real accountability, no check and balance on their power. There's no skin in the game. No concrete consequences for an influencer's negative actions. The result is a system where influence is high, but responsibility is low. These realities facilitate influencers having a fundamentally insincere relationship with their followers. Take Brian Johnson, otherwise known as 'Liver King', who convinced many of his followers his physique was built on an ancestral lifestyle, and not thousands of dollars' worth of performance enhancing drugs and supplements. He sold an ideal he didn't live by and profited from the deceit. He is but one extreme example in a broad-spectrum dishonesty part of a continuum where influencers blur the line between image and reality, often at the expense of those who trust them. Smoke and mirrors This seems to be what 'influencing' is: a game of deception and extraction. Perhaps (para) social media was always destined to become this. A host network for quackery and fakery. A mirror held up to us by a small, always on, aluminosilicate glass device — not to connect us, but to sell us back to ourselves. It began with comparison, with ranking humans against one another, turning people into objects to be judged on screen, and that cold logic never went away. Today, the same machinery, the unseen architecture dictating so much of these nefarious activities, drives influencers to package their lives as 'content' and compels audiences to 'consume' it in the hopes of filling a chasm that social media itself created. Cui bono ? Not the audience, drained of time, attention and trust. Not the public, misled by pseudo-experts with no accountability. The beneficiaries are those who profit from the illusion — platforms that sell our data, advertisers that sell us solutions to problems we didn't have, and influencers who sell themselves as friends. The only remedy is for users to be more discerning. To reject unsolicited advice masquerading as care. And to ask, seriously and soberly: Do these people really have your best interests at heart?
