Justin Bieber has been enjoying a rural getaway, but concerned fans after sharing a picture of him lounging on a sofa with his son, Jack
Justin Bieber's fans shared their concerns when the Peaches singer shared a selection of photos from his recent getaway, with some featuring the son he shares with Hailey Bieber. In one photo, the 31-year-old was seen relaxing on a sofa with his infant son, Jack, who was lying next to him.
Another frame showed Justin on the same sofa, but this time with a friend as they smoked a roll-up together. While there was no evidence his son remained on the sofa or even in the same room while they were smoking, fans rushed to the comment section to slam the Confident singer.

‌
"Don't smoke in front your kid," one user said while another rushed to his defence to say: "He's not, it's different moments clearly." Another angry user said: "Bestie you did not just smoke in front of baby Jack."
"Dude there is no way you have that baby around that smoke… be better like we know you can be," one follower commented and another posted: "Children are particularly vulnerable to health problems from exposure to smoke, including both cigarette and marijuana (pot) smoke," before listing all the dangers of smoking.
Many responded to the concerns user to say the smoking took part at a completely different time to when his son was on the sofa with him.
‌
"If you notice in the photo, when Justin was smoking, Jack wasn't around him or near him. It's very clear that Justin wasn't smoking around the baby. And the photo of Justin and Jack was taken at a different moment," one fan said.
In recent weeks, Justin has concerned fans with his posts on social media. He admitted he "hurt others" as he broke his silence on the alarming posts.
‌
Taking to Instagram, he said: "I'm just an averaged flawed guy, I've done things that have hurt others, I continue to do and say things that hurt others unintentionally.
"Yet I woke up this morning with another opportunity to grow and not be so selfish today. Love draws us in. Love doesn't condemn. Love believes the best. Love hopes all things and endures all things. It doesn't keep record of wrong. Love helps u to forgive and love even your enemies."
A second post read: "I sometimes think I'm gonna get exposed if I tell people how selfish I am. Like if I admitted that, maybe people wouldn't like me or trust me. I thought if I was honest about the selfish things I was feeling that I was gonna be disqualified from the dreams I had of being included.
‌
"But the more honest I am about where I really am. The more freedom I actually have. The truth is I wake up every morning. Some days I'm optimistic, sometimes I wake up pessimistic, I can't control how I'm gonna feel, I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective.
"I've been really asking God to help me see the best in people, even after being used in the way I have. Once again, it's easier to point the finger than it is to take ownership. It's easy to say damn their greedy rather than to check the greed in our own hearts. Only God can remove the greed and selfishness from our hearts. Trying harder won't work. Cuz I tried lol."
