Justin Bieber publicly ends friendship in heated text exchange: 'If you don't like my anger, you don't like me'
Justin Bieber is putting a former friend on blast.
On Sunday, the "Peaches" singer surprised fans by sharing screenshots showing an alleged text exchange between himself and an anonymous friend to Instagram. In them, Bieber ends the "short-lived relationship" and criticizes his contact for their reaction to his anger.
"I will never suppress my emotions for someone," Bieber wrote in one text. "Conflict is part of relationship. If you don't like my anger, you don't like me."
He added, "My anger is a response to pain I have been thru [sic]. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simple mean."
The unnamed friend then responded, "I'm not used to someone lashing out at me. It's not that I don't see and feel your anger."
Replied Bieber, "Ouch. The friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out."
The singer added that he has other "good friends who will respect these boundaries."
The exchange then escalated further with Bieber writing, "I thought you were a p----, which is why I always kept my distance, but I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. This confirms you were the p---- I always thought u [sic] were. Please leave me alone now. Blocking u now.'
Bieber later reposted the texts to his Instagram story, with the additional caption, "Quit asking me if I'm okay. Quit asking me how I'm doing. I don't do that to you because I know how life is for all of us. It's hard. Let's encourage our people not to project our insecurities onto one another. Your concern doesn't come off as care, it's just oppressive weirdo."
The singer addressed the drama again on Monday morning, posting white text on a purple background that read, "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry."
Representatives for Bieber did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment.
Bieber did more than end a friendship on Sunday, the "Baby" singer also celebrated his first Father's Day as a dad, with wife Hailey Bieber and son Jack Blues.Throughout the day he shared various photos of the family together and at one point captioned a solo picture of himself, "I'm a dad that's not to be fucked with." Other snapshots of the day see the couple enjoying a romantic staycation and baby Jack showing off his piano skills.
The Biebers first met as kids in 2009 and confirmed they were dating in 2016. They tied the knot two years later and welcomed their first child together in August 2024.

Romeo Beckham's Ex Addresses Brooklyn Beckham Romance Rumors
Originally appeared on E! Online Kim Turnbull is setting the record straight. The British DJ, who split from David Beckham and Victoria Beckham's son Romeo Beckham earlier this month, addressed the rumors that she'd previously been romantically involved with the 22-year-old's older brother, Brooklyn Beckham. "I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on," Kim wrote on her Instagram Stories June 16. "I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative." "I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question," the 24-year-old added, seemingly alluding to Brooklyn, 26. "Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16." Kim added, "I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved." The model's statement comes less than two weeks after E! News learned that she'd split from Romeo after seven months of dating amid ongoing speculation that there's a feud within the Beckham family. Kim isn't the only person connected to the situation who has taken matters into their own hands to combat false narratives playing out in public. More from E! Online 'Traumatized' Justin Bieber Shares Text Message Ending a Friendship Cher's Son Elijah Blue Allman Hospitalized, Estranged Wife Speaks Out Jenna Bush Hager Gets a Dramatic Haircut While Live on Air The model's statement comes less than two weeks after E! News learned that she'd split from Romeo after seven months of dating amid ongoing speculation that there's a feud within the Beckham family. Kim isn't the only person connected to the situation who has taken matters into their own hands to combat false narratives playing out in public. Amid the reports of their estrangement from the rest of the Beckhams, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham hired a law firm to fight the rumors circulating about the pair. 'It's not for reputation management, but to set the record straight, combat spread of misinformation,' a source with knowledge of the situation told E! News June 2. 'Ironically, the inaccurate reporting proves exactly why one hires legal counsel, to set the record straight and combat the spread of deliberate misinformation.' And, while Kim was at Romeo's side for some of his family member's milestone moments this year like Victoria's latest runway show and David's 50th birthday celebration, Brooklyn and Nicola's last known appearance at a Beckham family gathering was at Christmas. Even though the couple hasn't been seen with the rest of his family in months, those close to the family deny that he's gone completely no-contact with Victoria and David, both of whom posted photos of Brooklyn while celebrating Father's Day June 15. "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth,' an insider told E! News earlier this month, days before David was presented with a knighthood by during the monarch's June 14 birthday celebration. 'It only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father.' Keep reading for more on the Beckham family drama...

Erin Moriarty of 'The Boys' has Graves' disease: 'Felt the light coming back on' with treatment
Erin Moriarty, the outspoken and righteous Starlight of "The Boys," is speaking out about her health, specifically her ongoing battle with an autoimmune disorder. Moriarty, 30, revealed to her Instagram followers on Friday that she was diagnosed last month with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder in which the thyroid becomes overactive. In the caption of her post, Moriarty expresses the positive effects of treatment but reveals the disorder could have been identified earlier "if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue." The "Jessica Jones" and "One Life to Live" actor shared a carousel of photos including text message exchanges with her parents. In one screenshot Moriarty tells her mother "I really need relief" as she details her discomfort. "I can't live like this forever," she writes. "It's not just fatigue — it's an ineffable, system wide cry for help and I don't know how long I can remain in this state," Moriarty continues in her text to her mother.

According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of Graves' disease can include "feeling nervous or irritable," slight tremors of the hands or fingers, weight loss, menstrual changes and heart palpitations. Wendy Williams, Daisy Ridley and Missy Elliott have also spoken publicly about living with Graves' disease. "Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on," Moriarty said in her caption. "It's been increasing in strength ever since." She did not reveal the details of her treatment, but Moriarty told her father in a text message, "I already feel a world of a difference" and that she has since been thinking, "'Damn, this is how I'm supposed to feel? I've been missing out!'"

Starlight, who possesses the power to fly and manipulate light. Without spoiling too much about the series, it now seems Moriarty knows what it's like to lose her spark on- and off-screen — and how to get it back. She concluded her post by urging followers to listen to their bodies and seek medical attention when something feels off. "If [your light] is dimming, even slightly, go get checked," she said. "Don't 'suck it up' and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. S—'s hard enough as is." Sign up for Screen Gab, a free newsletter about the TV and movies everyone's talking about from the L.A.
