Justin Bieber Seen With Mystery Injury As He Steps Out In Hollywood Amid Fan Concerns About His Well-Being
Justin Bieber continues to spark concern after sporting a slimmer look and a knee brace during a recent outing.
It comes after the "Baby" singer dropped a cryptic rant on Instagram about people passing judgment and declaring what others "deserve."
Justin Bieber's marriage to Hailey Bieber has also come under scrutiny due to his recent remarks amid reports of financial struggles linked to his 2022 "Justice" tour.
Justin appeared noticeably slimmer and had on a knee brace on his left leg during a recent outing in Hollywood on Friday, prompting fresh concern among fans.
According to photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the 31-year-old pop star was spotted heading to a local spa, dressed in layered hoodies, green checkered shorts, and blue slide sandals, topped off with a baseball cap. A peek of his neck tattoo was visible beneath the hoodie, as he maintained a subdued demeanor.
This public appearance follows a wave of speculation triggered by a cryptic Instagram rant earlier in the week. In the now-viral post, Justin criticized those who offer unsolicited opinions on what others "deserve."
"Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids," he wrote. "Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have?"
Justin further noted that only "God decides what we deserve," calling out the "audacity" of self-appointed moral arbiters.
Following Justin's Instagram outburst, fans took to the comments section expressing concern, criticism, and support. Many accused the pop star of "hypocrisy," urging him to take a break from social media altogether.
The singer's post appeared to strike a nerve, especially among those who interpreted it as a response to ongoing criticism of his treatment of his wife, Hailey Bieber.
One person wrote, "If you're mad about people telling Hailey deserves better, YES, she deserves better."
"Justin, please get a break from social media, go to therapy, and take care of your beautiful family," another individual pleaded.
Others brought up past remarks, referencing a moment when Justin allegedly told Hailey she wasn't worthy of a Vogue cover: "Well, you had the audacity to tell your wife she couldn't be on Vogue cover for her accomplishment."
The controversy first started following two eyebrow-raising moments that some fans feel reflect Justin's pattern of inconsiderate behavior toward Hailey.
The first wave of backlash came after the "Baby" singer shared a blunt message on social media that read "Mother's Day sucks a-s," a post many found insensitive, especially as it marked Hailey's first Mother's Day since the birth of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024.
Soon after, criticism intensified when the pop star publicly admitted to once telling the Rhode founder she would never appear on the cover of Vogue.
In a now-deleted Instagram caption meant to celebrate her recent achievement of landing the cover, Justin revealed the comment stemmed from a past argument they had.
"Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue, Yikes I know, so mean, For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even," he wrote.
Justin went on to reflect on how that mindset had changed: "Think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection."
The post ended with a direct apology to Hailey: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."
Despite Justin's attempt at vulnerability, many fans were unsettled by the public confession, questioning the timing and the decision to bring up such a personal moment during what should have been a celebration of Hailey's success.
To further complicate it, the couple, who have been married for nearly seven years, has long been the subject of public speculation about an alleged impending divorce.
Hailey addressed these ongoing rumors in a May 20 interview with Vogue, making it clear that much of what people see online is far from reality.
"It's not real," she said bluntly. "And that's the thing: I have a real life. My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son, and my friends, and I have people that know me and love me, and I love them."
Justin's inner circle has significantly shrunk, as the singer cut ties with his longtime manager, Scooter Braun, and several other associates, including his longtime security chief, Kenny Hamilton.
He also pulled the plug on his working relationship with TriStar after they left him feeling betrayed for allegedly mismanaging his finances for years.
However, Justin's former friends and associates are questioning his decisions, claiming he is being surrounded by people who are afraid to tell him "no."
"Whatever he's going through, I pray for him and hope he's OK," Bieber's former collaborator Poo Bear, who co-wrote some of his biggest hits, including "Despacito," and "What Do You Mean?" told The Hollywood Reporter.
"Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose," a former team member said. "He's lost. There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out."

Jane Larkworthy, 62, a Top Magazine Writer and Editor on Beauty, Dies
Jane Larkworthy, a veteran beauty writer and top-ranking editor during 'The Devil Wears Prada' era of influential print fashion magazines, died on Wednesday at her home in New Marlborough, Mass. She was 62. Her sister, Kate Larkworthy, said the cause was breast cancer. Ms. Larkworthy's work began appearing in magazines in the mid-1980s; her first job was at Glamour, followed by a stint at Mademoiselle. By 1997, she was the beauty director of Jane, a popular magazine aimed at young women. (It was named after another journalist Jane — Jane Pratt.) Later moving on to W magazine, Ms. Larkworthy became its executive beauty director. She was active online, too, writing for websites like Air Mail and New York magazine's The Cut, where for a time she was beauty editor at large. Ms. Larkworthy looked the part of an editor at a glossy fashion magazine, the kind satirized in the 2006 movie 'The Devil Wears Prada,' with her straight long hair in a refined shade of celebrity-colorist-applied straw and, more often than not, polished outfits that might have well brought Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy to mind. But while her fields of expertise might seem superficial, her views on fillers and face creams were infused with industry knowledge and a large dose of well-grounded skepticism.

Man Sues L.A. Cemetery for Placing Mother's Headstone Over the Wrong Grave — for More Than 3 Years: 'How Could This Happen?'
A man is suing the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles because he claims a headstone for his late mother had been placed over the wrong grave for multiple years The family only learned of the alleged mix-up when they buried their father earlier this year, a lawsuit states "We were just talking to an empty spot," the man's sister saidA man is suing a cemetery in Los Angeles because he claims a headstone for his late mother had been placed over the wrong grave — for more than three years. Chris Demirchyan has sued Forest Lawn Mortuary and the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Association for fraud, breach of contract, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress and is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, according to a lawsuit obtained by PEOPLE. Back in 2008, Chris' parents purchased two burial plots at the cemetery. In 2012, he allegedly requested they "release their two plots to allow for the family to have a total of six burial plots in the same area," and he went on to secure "four additional burial plots," the legal document claims. When Chris' mother died in July 2021, she was buried in one of the purchased plots a month later. Then, in September, the complaint claims Chris "entered into a contract" to get a headstone, but the legal document alleges that one "bearing [his] mother's name was ultimately placed on the wrong burial site." Per the lawsuit, Chris and his family "were unaware of this misplacement and continued visiting the incorrect site." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. When Chris' dad died earlier this year in April, the complaint claims the man and his family made arrangements for their late father to be buried in the adjacent plot next to where they believed their mother to be. However, during the service for his father, the legal document claims that Chris was informed "that while [his] mother was correctly buried in her designated plot, the headstone bearing her name had been placed on a different gravesite." Chris, the complaint claims, "was shocked, devastated and overwhelmed upon learning that the family had been grieving and visiting the wrong site for [his] mother for approximately 4 years." Per the legal document, Forest Lawn Memorial Park "promised that the issue would be corrected," and the cemetery subsequently "removed the incorrectly placed headstone and placed it on the correct site." The ordeal caused Chris "significant emotional distress, including shock, grief and ongoing mental anguish from having grieved and visited the wrong site for [his] mother," according to the complaint. It added that he also "suffered economic losses, emotional distress and other damages as a direct result" of the alleged mix-up. The legal document further accuses the Forest Lawn Memorial Park of being "reckless, negligent and in breach of its contractual obligations to [Chris], including its duty to properly place and maintain the headstone." Speaking with NBC Los Angeles, Chris' sister, Marine Demirchyan, said the ordeal has left her deeply upset. 'When she passed, I thought, 'At least, we have given her a peaceful, respectful place to rest.' But seeing her memorial tablet placed on the wrong grave, it felt like losing her all over again,' she told the outlet. "We were just talking to an empty spot.' 'She was caring. She was loving," Chris added of his mother, also asking NBC Los Angeles: "How could this happen?" In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Chris' attorney, Rosie Zilifyan, said: "Forest Lawn's failure to fulfill its most basic responsibilities—ensuring that a loved one's grave is properly marked — was not just negligent; it was callous. Our lawsuit seeks to hold Forest Lawn fully accountable for its reckless mishandling and to ensure no other family is forced to endure a similar ordeal." The Forest Lawn Memorial Park Association did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Read the original article on People
