Bieber said that it 'just keeps making me more tired and more angry.'

The post came after Bieber took a private conversation public, sharing screenshots of a text exchange where he decided to end a friendship with an unidentified person.
In the screenshots, Bieber told the person that he will 'never suppress my emotions for someone' and that 'conflict is a part of relationship.'
'If you don't like my anger you don't like me. My anger is a response to pain I have been thru [sic],' he added. 'Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean.'
In another screenshot, the other person wrote, 'I'm not used to someone lashing out at me. It's not that I don't see and feel your anger.'
'Ouch. This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out,' Bieber responded. 'I enjoyed our short lived relationship. I wasn't kidding when I told u I didn't need u as a friend. I have good friends who will respect these boundaries.'

'You're going to take this video out of context, you're gonna say I'm mad,' he said in the clip. 'I don't know who the f— is paying you to provoke me but I'm not the f—ing one.'
'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?' Bieber asked the photographers.
'But we're on the sidewalk, Justin,' a man responded.
'I don't give a f— that you're on the sidewalk. I'm a human f—ing being. You're standing around my car at the beach,' Bieber said. 'You don't think I'm a real f—ing guy do you? I'm a real dad, a real husband, a real man so don't f—ing do this sh-t to me.'

In April, the Sorry singer pleaded with paparazzi to stop swarming him when he's out in public. He shared a video from his perspective as he walked to his car, which showed multiple photographers and flashing cameras consistently going off. The video was the singer's attempt to give fans a glimpse of what he has to deal with daily.
Bieber said that he was currently asking God to 'help me with patience because it can be really hard to not rip these f—in guys heads off.'

'However u slice it I'm getting hit from all angles And I'm no victim.'

'Today is hard,' Rumer wrote in a caption that was accompanied by photos of herself and her dad throughout the years. 'I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I'm doing and what's going on in my life. To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes.'

Rumer also spoke lovingly about being able to watch her dad's eyes 'light up' when he sees his granddaughter. 'I will be grateful for every moment I have with you,' she concluded. 'I love you so much dad happy Father's Day. Sending love to all those who are in the boat with me or have lost their fathers, to the single moms who are the dads too, to my future baby daddy ❤️.' Bruce's wife Emma Heming Willis also shared a Father's Day message of her own in which she offered her support 'to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them.' 'What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words,' Emma wrote on Instagram. 'Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present… Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes. But to be fair to myself, these symbolic days stir up a lot. I'm profoundly sad today. I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family. As they say in our FTD community, 'It is what it is.' And while that might sound dismissive, to me, it's not. It grounds me. It helps me return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to.'

After an acting career that stretched back more than 40 years, Willis' family announced he was retiring following his diagnosis with aphasia in March 2022 . The following year, his loved ones revealed that he was suffering from a type of dementia known as frontotemporal dementia. 'FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone,' the Die Hard star's family wrote in a statement on the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website at the time. Speaking at the Women's Alzheimer's Movement Forum last month, Emma recounted how the future the two of them had dreamed of together 'vanished' when her husband's diagnosis was confirmed. 'On the day Bruce got his diagnosis, we left the doctor's office with a pamphlet and a hollow goodbye. No plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock,' she said, according to PEOPLE . This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'The future we imagined simply vanished, and I was left trying to hold my family together, raise our two young daughters, and care for the man I love while navigating a disease I barely understood.' Emma said she felt 'lost, isolated and scared.' 'What I needed in that moment at that appointment wasn't just medical information. I needed someone to look me in the eye and say, 'This feels impossible right now, but you will find your footing. You will survive this and you will grow because of it,'' she told the audience. In the wake of her husband's illness, Emma has become a vocal advocate for raising awareness on dementia and families and caregivers struggling to cope with their new way of life. Later this year she will release a new book, The Unexpected Journey , which she wrote to help families going through similar struggles. 'I really wrote the book that I wish someone had handed me the day we got our diagnosis with no hope, no direction … not much,' the 46-year-old former model shared on Instagram when she announced the book back in April. 'Today, life looks different for me and our family.' mdaniell@ Read More Toronto Maple Leafs Columnists Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto & GTA Canada

One of the most viral moments from the concerts came during Lamar's performance of Not Like Us, a diss track aimed at Drake. The song earned a standing ovation and chants of 'one more time' from the crowd. Despite the response, the track has sparked legal action from Drake, who is suing Universal Music Group, which represents both Lamar and SZA, claiming the song falsely portrays him as a pedophile and has endangered his safety. None of the allegations in the lawsuit have been tested in court. In his statement, Singh made it clear he didn't intend to take sides but acknowledged his stance over social media.
