Justin Bieber blasted for VERY comfortable comment on 17-year-old Ariana Greenblatt's Instagram
Justin Bieber was seen out solo in Los Angeles on Saturday — his first appearance since his latest public post sparked controversy.
Ariana Greenblatt, 17, made an Instagram post on Friday, sharing photos to promote her latest film, Fear Street: Prom Queen, which began streaming on Netflix that same day.
'fear street: prom queen is out now on netflix!!!' the young actress wrote.
'horror had always been one of my favorite genres and to have this movie be my introduction into the world was an honor. long live christy renault,' she said, referring to her character's name.
Bieber, 31, who was spotted hanging out with controversial Disney star Kyle Massey, declared his admiration for the young star, writing, 'I love youuuuuuuu.'
That opened up a huge can of worms, with fans voicing concern about his mental health and critics slamming the comment as inappropriate.
On Reddit, where Bieber's blunder was discussed at length, one writer suggested he stay off social media altogether.
'Bro needs to get off the internet. I'm sorry he's so miserable, but being chronically online isn't going to fix that,' they said.
Some rushed to the Stay singer's defense.
'He's just showing her love Imao,' wrote a fan. 'if you have a problem with that go judge the other adults in the comments showing her love,' they advised.
Word of Bieber's comment traveled like wildfire throughout the internet, and many were drawn to Greenblatt's post just so they could make their own remarks.
'Where is the Justin comment,' was a common question.
'So sick to see people came here jus to see JB comment??? Guy's she's the IT Girl and y'all should appreciate her,' declared a fan in the Barbie actress's corner.
Others even pointed out how Ariana bore a surprising resemblance to Justin's ex, Selena Gomez.
The singer's comment opened up a huge can of worms for fans worried about his mental health and gave detractors a huge opportunity to slam him
Some fans defended Bieber's comment
'She looks like Selena Gomez in this picture,' wrote one commenter referring to the Yummy singer's ex-girlfriend.
'She is like a little Selena Gomez,' observed another.
Gomez's fans have accused Hailey Bieber of stealing the American Music Award winner away from Gomez ever since the couple's courthouse wedding in September 2018.
Bieber and Gomez had broken up in March of that year.
Since then, their fans have been in a continual toxic rivalry mostly played out online in cruel comments on both Hailey's and Selena's social media accounts.
The online debacle comes after Justin made a surprise return to the stage Friday night, with his wife Hailey in the crowd to witness every second—from what looked like the cheap seats.
Hailey posted clips of the moment on Instagram, gushing over the performance, but fans couldn't help but notice her seat appeared surprisingly far from the stage
The pop star joined SZA during the Los Angeles stop of her and Kendrick Lamar 's Grand National Tour at SoFi Stadium, electrifying fans with a sultry performance of their duet Snooze.
Bieber hit the stage in an all-black outfit and Balenciaga jacket, trading flirty verses with SZA, dancing close, and even planting a few kisses on her hand as they took turns singing the chorus.
The chemistry was undeniable, and the crowd erupted the moment he appeared—his first major live performance since Coachella 2024.

BREAKING NEWS King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss' suspected killer is out of jail on $200K bail following fatal shooting
Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, the man suspected of fatally shooting King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation actor Jonathan Joss, is out of jail on a $200,000 bail. Just days after he was arrested for murder, law enforcement officers in San Antonio confirmed to TMZ that Alvarez, who was Joss' neighbor, has 'been placed under house arrest.' He is required to wear an ankle monitor and will 'undergo random drug and alcohol testing.' During his detention, Alvarez is also forbidden from possessing firearms. Joss, 59, died in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday after a reported altercation with Alvarez outside his home. Alvarez was captured by law enforcement and booked on suspicion of murder. The report from the San Antonio Police Department obtained by states Alvarez uttered 'I shot him' as he was detained by arresting officers. New details about the run-up to the violent crime have also emerged via the report, with an unnamed witness stating they drove Joss from Austin to his burned down San Antonio home around 7pm on June 1 to check his mail. The witness said she pulled up and parked in the driveway while she waited for Joss and another witness to check the mail. Joss' husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales has claimed he was with the actor on this trip and during the murder. Per the report, she said she saw suspect Alvarez pull up in his vehicle with a passenger and stop 'directly behind her car.' She allegedly saw Joss and Alvarez argue in her rearview mirror, and claimed Alvarez told Joss 'he had a gun and would shoot [Joss].' She claims Alvarez then shot Joss. Per the report, Joss was pronounced dead at the scene at 7.20pm and Alvarez was detained by police and 'immediately told them "I shot him." His weapons were seized. The report states that '[Alvarez] intentionally and knowingly discharged a weapon at [Joss] resulting in his death Joss' husband has since claimed the star's death was a homophobia-fueled murder - although police have dismissed this theory. A statement from a San Antonio PD spokesman read: 'Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation.' Last Saturday, Joss — who boasts 9K social media followers — shared a video of himself in good spirits, urging fans to visit him at Tribe Comics and Games in Austin, TX for a signing. The Our Lady of the Lake University grad's last IMDb-credited gig was voicing characters for CD Projekt RED's video game Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in 2023 alongside Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba. Jonathan also voiced the character Healing in Paul McComas and Holly Trasti's animated drama Unplugged alongside the late Louis Gossett Jr., the late Ed Asner, Christina Ricci and Jeri Ryan. But Joss is best known for voicing musician and healer John Redcorn, who embarked on a 14-year-long affair with anchorwoman Nancy Hicks-Gribble (Ashley Gardner), on the Fox animated sitcom from seasons 2–13. On January 23, Jonathan suffered the loss of his three beloved dogs when his childhood home, that his father built in 1957, burned to the ground. Joss also lost his car in the blaze, but the GoFundMe organized by Logan Kostroun successfully raised $21,300 from a $15K goal. But neighbors told TMZ on Monday that his house burned down because he attempted to use a BBQ pit to heat it after the city allegedly 'shut off his power when the property was deemed unsafe and uninhabitable.' On Monday, the star's widow Tristan Kern de Gonzales — whom he wed on Valentine's Day — claimed he was murdered after they were 'harassed' for two years by 'openly homophobic' individuals who 'did not accept our relationship.' 'When we returned to the site to check our mail, we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress,' the South Carolina native recalled on Facebook. 'While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons.' 'My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together,' Tristan wrote in a Facebook He continued, 'We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.' Tristan added, 'My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together.' Jonathan is also remembered for his role as Chief Ken Hotate in five episodes of NBC's mockumentary sitcom Parks and Recreation spanning 2011–2015. Joss had small roles in TV shows like Walker Texas Ranger, Charmed, ER, Ray Donovan and Tulsa King. He also acted in films like True Grit, The Magnificent Seven, Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World and Johnson Family Vacation.
