Justin Bieber Says ‘I Know I'm Broken,' Slams ‘Concern' Over His Behavior After Father's Day Post
'People keep telling me to heal,' Justin, 31, wrote in a cryptic message shared via the social media platform on Monday, June 16. '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.'
The 'Baby' singer continued, '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.'
Justin added that the harder he tries 'to grow,' the 'more focused on myself I am.'
Justin Bieber Opens Up About His 'Anger Issues,' Declares 'I Wanna Grow' in Candid Post
'Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others,' he concluded. 'Because honestly, I'm exhausted with talking about myself lately, aren't you?'
Justin also shared the post via his Instagram Stories.
Hours prior to sharing the message, Justin took to his Stories to tell fans, 'Quit asking me if I'm OK. 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.'
He continued, '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.'
Along with the message, Justin reposted a set of screenshots depicting a text exchange with an unnamed person. In one text, the musician seemingly told the other person that he would 'never suppress my emotions for someone,' and if the person didn't like 'my anger, you don't like me.'
'Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean,' he added, later telling the person, 'I enjoyed our short-lived relationship.'
The alleged former friend responded to Justin, 'I'm not used to someone lashing out at me. It's not that I don't see and feel your anger.'
Justin fired back, 'This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out. … I wasn't kidding when I told u [sic] I didn't need u [sic] as a friend. I have good friends … who will respect these boundaries.'
Us Weekly reached out to a rep for Justin for comment regarding the texts.
The post, as well as several others that Justin shared on Sunday, June 15, prompted a wave of concern from fans.
'Someone please intervene and get this dude some help before it's too late,' one fan commented, while another user added, 'You cannot have justifiable angry outbursts due to trauma, it doesn't work that way.'

Among the other posts that Justin shared were photos of the gifts he received for Father's Day, photos of his son, Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber, and selfies, many of which were captioned with a middle finger emoji.
On one of his posts, Justin wrote, 'I'm a dad that's not to be f***ed with.'
Earlier this month, Justin responded to a May 21 meme featuring a screenshot of text messages from someone's grandfather. The messages read, 'I am worried about Justin Bieber. There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.'
Justin commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.'

For a limited time, July 17 through July 27, you can save 5% off by entering the coupon code TINS9ARTIST. Steam power meets design finesse At the heart of the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam is Hyper Steam Technology, delivering a punchy 284°F high-temp blast that dissolves tough stains on contact. Combined with triple-sided edge cleaning and a 180° lay-flat design, this unit reaches under furniture and into corners most cleaners can only dream of. Even while flat, the suction stays strong thanks to smart dirty water separation. No more sacrificing performance for maneuverability. And because tangled hair should never be part of your cleanup routine, DualBlock Anti-Tangle Technology continuously rinses the brush with MHCBS (Multi-Helix Contour Brush System) and a built-in comb scraper. Translation? No more clawing clumps of hair from your roller. Just clean floors, minus the gross maintenance. Let the Floor Washer Think for You Cleaning can feel like a chore, but the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam takes over the thinking. It features 3D Light that shift colors to show cleaning progress and iLoop Smart Sensor Technology that adjusts suction and water flow automatically. There's no fiddling with settings, it knows what the mess needs and reacts in real-time. Under the hood, SmoothDrive Technology inspired by automotive differential systems makes this device as nimble as it is smart. With independent torque to each wheel and a 90° swivel, you'll glide around table legs and across tight spaces like a pro. Even the water tank is strategically placed to lower the center of gravity, making the whole machine feel lighter than it looks. Built to Last Longer (and Work Harder) With up to 75 minutes of runtime on a single charge, the upgraded battery cells in the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam aren't just long-lasting, they're efficient. Fast charging (just 3.5 hours) keeps downtime low, while the larger tanks (0.88L clean / 0.75L dirty) mean fewer interruptions. It's a real whole-house cleaner in a single, cordless package. A Self-Cleaning Cycle That Actually Delivers After you're done scrubbing, this floor washer keeps working. A 2-minute self-cleaning system flushes freshwater through every pipe and component, while a 5-minute FlashDry cycle uses 185°F heated air to leave every part, including the roller, sanitized and dry. You won't have to get your hands dirty, and you won't be left with a soggy machine. Smart, powerful, and refreshingly low-maintenance, the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam will change the way you clean.

Josh Allen determined not to let 'Hard Knocks' cameras become distraction for Bills in training camp
During the NFL annual league meeting in April, the league changed its rule that allowed teams making the playoffs to avoid HBO's "Hard Knocks." Enter the Buffalo Bills, who will be the featured team during "Hard Knocks: Training Camp" in just a couple of weeks as teams get prepared to head to their respective facilities to gear up for the new year. It's the first time since the show debuted in 2001 that the Bills will be featured, and quarterback Josh Allen, the reigning MVP after a tremendous 2024 campaign, knows it's going to be a different feeling with cameras all around when he gets back to Buffalo. While speaking with Fox News Digital on behalf of Natrol, the drug-free sleep-aid brand he partnered with, Allen explained how he understands the excitement around watching the Bills get ready for a season. However, there is one main priority that must be above all else in terms of HBO and NFL Films cameras being around. "First and foremost, cannot let it become a distraction," Allen said. "Got to keep the main thing, the main thing, and that's trying to be the best we can be on the field. Making sure we're doing everything right, and not letting the cameras distract us. I think that's going to be a sign of a good team." But Allen also understands that "Hard Knocks" provides fans with a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most grueling sports in the world, allowing players to be humanized more, while letting their personalities shine throughout training camp battles. Now that it's a perennial playoff team that was just a few plays away from a potential Super Bowl last season, the hype and attention is even greater. "For the longest time, 'Hard Knocks' was usually reserved for, I wouldn't say bad teams, but teams that didn't make the playoffs the year before," Allen said. "I know they lifted that rule, and we're kind of the first team that's coming from the playoffs to be on it, in terms of the training camp portion of it. So, yeah, it's going to be a little different, but we got a lot of veteran leadership in the locker room and a lot of young guys who we're going to have to take on our shoulders and be like, 'Hey, this is how we're doing it.' "Again, you want to be a star and the face of this and that and the other? Let your play take care of it. Still be yourself and let your personality out. I think Coach [Sean] McDermott has been doing a great job ever since I was rookie of making sure, whoever you are, be that person all the time, right? Being as authentic as possible is one of the greatest qualities that you can have, and this is no different." Since 2019, the Bills have made the playoffs every season, yet they have not made it past the rest of their AFC foes to reach the Super Bowl despite having a talented team, especially with Allen at the helm. But with the goal remaining the same, fans will get an inside look at how McDermott, Allen and the rest of the team prepare for what is always a long journey ahead, with the final goal always being to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, which would be a first for a Buffalo squad. "You're going to see a lot of cool stories and cool personalities on our team," Allen said. BETTER SLEEP, BETTER PLAY WITH NATROL Those vivid dreams Allen has can be credited to Natrol, which he believes can give him an edge this season. "I only try to partner with brands that I fully believe in, and I think this next part of the process of my journey is unlocking that piece of my game and my life really. I do believe Natrol can help me do that," he said. Allen explained how melatonin products in previous years didn't affect his body the way he had hoped, but during a trip home from Italy last offseason, he slept 10 hours after taking Natrol, and he said he was "all in" after that. As a quarterback, being sharp and alert is a requirement all season long, no matter if it's the film room, on the practice field, or in a game. Getting a good night's rest is crucial, so whether Allen wants a melatonin product to adjust to the east coast time difference from his usual west coast stay, or a melatonin-free "Sleep & Restore" product, Natrol has everything he needs. "I do fully believe that I haven't been a great sleeper — my mind is racing. But every great performance starts with a great night's sleep, and every great night's sleep starts with Natrol. It's a great tagline we like to say, but I truly believe this can unlock another part of my game, and I can still continue to get better," he said.

Shane Gillis stirs controversy with Trump, Bill Belichick jokes during edgy ESPY Awards monologue
Comedian Shane Gillis took the stage at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night and was firing shots at virtually anyone in the sports world with a monologue fit for a roast event. It's not uncommon to see the host start to light up the crowd with some playful jabs here and there at award shows, but Gillis' biting humor drew some jeers along with cheers inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. One of his most-discussed jokes revolved around new North Carolina Tar Heels head football coach Bill Belichick, as Gillis made a comment about his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. "A bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime," Gillis prefaced his joke. "They read, 'Very horny caterpillar,' 'The Little Engine That Could But Needed A Pill First,' and of course, the classic, 'Good Night Boobs."" The divide in the crowd started to come when Gillis mentioned Joe Rogan with a joke about NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, but it quickly turned into something aimed at President Donald Trump. "Joe Rogan actually wanted me to be here to host this award show so that I could capture Adam Silver because Joe thinks he's an alien," Gillis said. "And Donald Trump wanted me to be here to capture Juan Soto for the same reason." Gillis didn't stop there with the Trump mentions, as he poked fun at the 47th president for recently saying he wants to stage a UFC fight at the White House. Then, it got into the current political argument around the supposed Jeffrey Epstein client list. "Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight in D.C., Mike Pence almost died," Gillis said. "… Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but I guess it got deleted. Probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed. Let's move on as a country and ignore that." Gillis also mentioned WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, which didn't get the best of reactions after what he "predicted" when she retired. "She's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most, fist-fighting Black women," Gillis said to a mixed reaction. Finally, another interesting joke choice was taking a shot at the late O.J. Simpson, which was an ode to the late comedian Norm Macdonald, the host of the show in 1998. "Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy this year," Gillis said. "He's the first defensive player since Charles Woodson to win the Heisman. Congratulations, Travis Hunter, winning the Heisman, that's something they can never take away from you. Unless you kill your wife and a waiter, in which case, they can take that away from you." Gillis, who stars in the Netflix series "Tires," also took aim at Aaron Rodgers, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and more in what some view as off-color, while others thought it was just for laughs.
