Justin Bieber could be placed in a conservatorship by wife Hailey if she can prove three key points to the courts amid his concerning behaviour, a legal expert has told The U.S. Sun.
In recent weeks, the pop star has gone on bizarre rants and appeared incoherent in photographs and videos – leading many fans to believe it's time for Justin, 31, to seek help.
If Justin's behaviour continues to be as dangerous as many believe, it's not out of the question that he could be placed in a conservatorship for his wellbeing.
'As a seasoned lawyer, I'll say this bluntly: If Justin Bieber's recent behaviour is as troubling as reported amid erratic social media posts, visible signs of impairment, and statements hinting at isolation and emotional instability, then yes, a conservatorship could be considered,' powerhouse legal expert Jamie Wright exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
However, the decision would not be made lightly, as the acclaimed lawyer made it clear that conservatorships are 'legal nuclear options.'
'In California, a conservatorship is a court-ordered plan where a designated person (conservator) is appointed to manage the affairs, personal care, or finances of an adult deemed unable to manage these on their own.
'This isn't just about being 'out of it' on Instagram. Courts require substantial medical evidence, and the bar is high.
'Especially post-Britney, with the public and legal community rightfully wary of abuses in the system,' Counselor Wright said of Britney Spears' unprecedented, and historic, conservatorship case.
She went on to explain that in most conservatorship cases, the spouse or parent would have legal standing to file.
However, in order for Hailey, 28, or Justin's mum, Pattie Mallette, to have a case, they would need to 'demonstrate that Justin is incapable of making rational decisions, poses a risk to himself or others — including his infant son, or is unable to manage his financial empire,' she claimed.
'If a conservatorship were granted, it could have profound implications. Legally, Justin could lose control over decisions about his health, money, and even parental rights.
'Custody of his child could be questioned if there's evidence he's an unfit parent.
'It would certainly put pressure on his marriage with Hailey and would raise serious reputational questions that could derail future endorsements, brand partnerships, and touring plans.
'He's young, powerful, and high-profile, so any conservatorship move would face intense public scrutiny and likely pushback,' the lawyer added.
'But when safety, especially of a child, is on the line, no one is untouchable. If this situation escalates, the law will step in.
'Bottom line, no one wants to see another celebrity conservatorship saga play out — but if the signs are as serious as they seem, it's not out of the question,' Counselor Wright stated.
'He needs help'
Recently, Justin sparked concern with a series of comments he's made online – including openly discussing drug use and being 'done with transactional relationships.'
Things escalated further when the Sorry singer took to his Instagram Stories, posting close-up selfies where many said he looked 'unwell.'
One slide he shared this week featured a screenshot from an AI chat interface asking: 'Has ketamine been used to control people's emotions?'
The AI chatbot allegedly answered: 'There is clear evidence that ketamine has been misused in certain law enforcement scenarios, particularly in ways that amount to chemical restraint or social control.'
In another slide, Justin superimposed text over a photo of himself looking defeated: 'This is how I feel after people keep telling me there's more work to do after the ive given everything I have to give.'
He followed up with: 'I don't think any of us can handle hearing 'You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.' It's not true.
'I listened to those fools who told me to work harder. And there's no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried. U have everything u need right now.'
On another snap, he admitted: 'We wanna make our life about work so bad. But this life is about God. Loving us so we can love each other. Quit making ur life about work smh. God will always inspire u to wait to work hard.
'U think if you don't tell people to work hard that they won't. Stop playing God please.'
Justin went on: 'Conditioning. Will make u feel I didn't know what the f*** u knew.'
This cryptic post was followed by another black-and-white selfie with the caption: 'But I f***in always knew in my gut Jesus was always the answer to pain we are all facing.
'People still keep making me think if I work hard on myself I'll be better like them. But the harder I work on myself the more I think about myself. I though the point was to think about one another?'
He finished with: 'The only thing that helps me to think about others to let go not try harder. Join me in letting go of not trying harder.'
This follows reports that Justin is also facing great financial strain – allegedly owing his former manager, Scooter Braun, over $8 million, audits obtained by TMZ claim.
