Justin Bieber Shares Post Allegedly Telling Fan to ‘Worry About Yourself' After Expressing Concern

Justin Bieber is making it clear he doesn't want anyone worrying about him amid growing concerns from fans about his well-being. On Tuesday, June 10, the two-time Grammy Award winner, 31, reposted an Instagram Reel from a fan account on his Story. The Reel featured an alleged comment he left under a now-deleted post by @todayyearsold. The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user wrote, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly then commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' Fans had mixed reactions to Bieber's alleged remark and discussed it in the comment section, with some people seeing the situation as humorous. 'I love Justin so much😂😂😂😂 so unserious,' one fan gushed. A second fan added, 'This is why I love him since 2009. He is always funny.' 'Leave Justin alone he said he's FINE' a third fan declared. However, others thought Justin's comment further signals that he is struggling with his mental health. One user wrote, 'Actually love him so much, but he definitely needs help.' 'I find this all pretty sad,' a second user commented. 'Bro is totally lost, [it] is sad that people [are] finding [this] funny still,' a third user stated.. Justin's alleged comment comes amid a posting spree on the app. On Sunday, June 8, he shared two black-and-white selfies and wrote that he was 'tired of transactional relationships' in his caption. 'If I have to do something to be loved. That's not love,' he added. Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, also posted on Instagram recently, sharing a summer-themed photo dump with solo shots of herself over the weekend. The Rhode founder, 28, captioned her post, 'lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long. 👍🍋🍸.' However, eagle-eyed fans noticed the model later removed the part about 'therapy,' changing her caption to 'lemon drop martinis all summer long 👍🍋🍸.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that the 'One Less Lonely Girl' hitmaker was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

Justin Bieber is sharing a peek into life with his little one. On Wednesday, June 11, the pop star, 31, posted an Instagram Carousel, which included a snap of him holding his 9-month-old son, Jack Blues, whom he shares with his wife, Hailey Bieber. In the photo, the two-time Grammy Award winner cuddles Jack, who's wearing dinosaur pajamas, close in his arms and leans his head on him. The 'Peaches' hitmaker posted another photo with the infant on Tuesday, June 10, where Jack's little hand can be seen resting on his dad's leg. Fans took to the comment section to gush over Justin and Jack's father-son bond. 'THE SECOND PIC 🥹 MY HEART,' one fan wrote in all caps. Another fan commented, 'Jack has the best daddy and mommy in the world! 🥹🤭💙' 'Jack with Mommy & Daddy Hits really Different,' a third fan posted. 'Literally can't tell this in Words ✨ 💗 🤌🏻 ❤️ 🥺 🫶🏻 ……' The sweet pictures come amid Justin's Instagram posting spree over the last week, as fans continue to express concern for his well-being. On Tuesday, he reposted a Reel on his Story that featured an alleged comment he left under a now-deleted post by @todayyearsold. The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user added, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' He also made a cryptic post earlier in the week, writing he was 'tired of transactional relationships.' Last month, Hailey, 28, appeared on the cover of Vogue and discussed her family in an interview with the outlet. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said about motherhood. 'The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' The Rhode founder made it clear that the gossip about her marriage is 'not real.' 'I have a real life,' she told the publication. '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.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that he was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

Miley Cyrus Lost Major Film Role To Selena Gomez After Penis Cake Controversy

Miley Cyrus has opened up about losing high-profile jobs over controversies earlier on in her career. The Grammy winner is currently on the promo trail for her new album Something Beautiful, and recently sat down for an interview with Monica Lewinsky for her podcast Reclaiming. During the conversation, Miley spoke about having her privacy violated from an early age, and how numerous leaked photos and videos cost her several big gigs. '[There was] a bong video when I was 16, and that cost me a very large, multi-multi-million dollar Walmart deal,' she explained. 'I had to email the Walmart CEO an apology for being 16 and smoking weed… which most 16-year-olds do. But my email address at the time was 'Miley loves weed'... and it actually wasn't weed, it was Salvia, but I needed to write to him, 'I'm sorry for smoking weed'. And my mum was like, 'what the hell? What's your email? You have to change that!'. 'He was old, so I changed my email to 'Miley loves old people'. It didn't help very much, I still got fired. But these things that you know… to have adults firing a teenager for smoking pot, and you know when they were 16 or 17 they were smoking weed. 'The difference is, I didn't know I was being filmed. I might have known someone was filming and not cared because I was high on Salvia, but I didn't know that my camera would then get stolen at a teen party, because that's how it got leaked, my backpack got stolen at a party.' Miley then reflected on another controversy from the first few years of her career, when TMZ published pictures of her celebrating then-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's birthday with a penis-shaped cake. 'As a joke, I got my boyfriend a penis cake for his birthday,' she recalled. 'And I got fired. I was the lead actress in Hotel Transylvania, and they fired me, and replaced me, because I had made an inappropriate adult joke. But I was 18! So yes, I was fine to work in a kids' movie, but I [wasn't] a kid.' Miley was replaced in the film by fellow Disney album Selena Gomez, who went on to return for three big-screen sequels. 'What felt ridiculous to me about getting fired [for] a penis cake is that they sell penis cakes for all bachelorettes. In Nashville, Tennessee, you can get penis cakes,' she quipped. 'It's not that big of a deal. 'So, I thought, 'this is a very simple, not vulgar, joke. This is silly, and you can do this for all bachelorette parties'... it felt ridiculous. 'To be fired for regular things that girls my age [do], but at that time, I wasn't someone that was appropriate for kids, even though that was my personal life. And that photo, again, only revealed itself because the camera had been stolen.' Miley has been getting reflective throughout the promo cycle for her latest album. In the last week, she made headlines when she revealed that Madonna was poised to mud-wrestle Miranda Kerr in one music video from her Bangerz era, before her record label stepped in, also making a surprising admission about another of her collaborators, Dua Lipa.
