Justin Bieber slammed for inappropriate comment on Ariana Greenblatt's Instagram post
Pop superstar Justin Bieber is facing criticism after posting a comment on 17-year-old actress Ariana Greenblatt's Instagram post, prompting accusations of inappropriate behavior. The controversy has sparked a wider conversation about the boundaries of social media interactions between celebrities and minors. Greenblatt, known for her roles in Barbie, Avengers: Infinity War, and Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle, shared a promotional photo for her upcoming Netflix horror film Fear Street: Prom Queen on May 24. In her post, she expressed excitement about the movie, writing, 'Fear Street: Prom Queen is out now on Netflix!!! Horror had always been one of my favorite genres and to have this movie be my introduction into the world was an honor. Long live Christy Renault.' What garnered attention, however, was Bieber's comment underneath the post: 'I love youuuuuuuuu.' While some fans saw this as a harmless show of support, many others found it problematic due to Greenblatt's age (17) and Bieber's marital status. The comment quickly drew criticism from users who deemed it inappropriate. One user wrote, 'She's 17. You're a grown man. This is weird,' while another added, 'You're married, bro. What are you doing?' Critics were particularly vocal about the potential implications of Bieber's behavior, with many expressing concern over the power dynamics in celebrity relationships and the appropriateness of public interactions between adults and minors on social media. Not everyone agreed with the backlash. Some fans came to Bieber's defense, arguing that his comment was simply an expression of admiration for Greenblatt's work. One supporter remarked, 'He's just showing her love, lmao. If you have a problem with that, go judge the other adults in the comments showing her love.' The situation highlights the blurred lines in modern celebrity culture, where social media interactions are often scrutinized by the public. Social media etiquette expert Dr. Lisa Reynolds explains, 'While public figures often engage with their fans in the form of comments, it's important to remember that context matters, especially when minors are involved. Celebrities, like Bieber, have a responsibility to be mindful of the messages they send, even in seemingly innocent interactions.' Greenblatt has built a strong reputation as one of Hollywood's most promising young actresses. Her standout performances in Avengers: Infinity War and Barbie earned her critical acclaim, and her rapid rise has made her a popular figure on social media, where she currently boasts 3.8 million followers.

Justin Bieber sparks concern as he tells teen star 'I love you'
Pop singer Justin Bieber is facing backlash after leaving a comment on 17-year-old actress Ariana Greenblatt's Instagram post that many online deemed inappropriate Justin Bieber has landed in hot water once again - this time for a social media comment many fans are calling inappropriate. The 31-year-old pop star, no stranger to controversy, has previously drawn criticism for defending Chris Brown following his release from prison, and for publicly downplaying his wife Hailey Bieber's achievements - once stating she would 'never be on the cover of Vogue.' Now, his latest online behavior is under scrutiny after he left a remark on 17-year-old actress Ariana Greenblatt's Instagram post. Greenblatt, known for her role in Barbie, recently shared a series of glamorous behind-the-scenes photos from the Fear Street: Prom Queen premiere. Dressed in a shimmering black sequin mini dress, the young star captioned the post: 'Fear Street: Prom Queen is out now on netflix!!! horror had always been one of my favorite genres and to have this movie be my introduction into the world was an honor." Fans flooded the comment section with praise - until one particular comment stood out. 'I love youuuuuuuuu,' Bieber wrote beneath the post, a message Greenblatt went on to 'like'. While the two are believed to have some level of familiarity - Bieber reportedly followed her on Instagram back in November 2023, coinciding with her modelling appearance for Rhode, Hailey Bieber's skincare line - many online felt the singer had overstepped a boundary. The response was swift and unforgiving, especially on Reddit where users expressed concern over the age gap between the two. One top comment read: 'She's underaged and he's a grown man.' The same commenter went on to note that Greenblatt 'looks so similar to Selena Gomez so him just commenting to her like that makes it even weirder.' Another user bluntly wrote: 'In no circumstance is it appropriate to comment this on a 17 year old girl's profile when you're a 31 year old man.' Others echoed the sentiment, calling the comment 'disturbing' and 'creepy.' One particularly harsh criticism stated: 'He is 31 and this little girl is 17, that is so inappropriate. He could have left a sweet, appropriate message supporting her but of course he had to cross a line.' Beyond the issue of age, some fans felt Bieber's actions were disrespectful toward his wife, Hailey. One user observed: 'Justin seem more supportive of a 17-year-old girl and Chris Brown than his own wife after her Vogue cover. He seems to enjoy embarrassing her at every opportunity.' The backlash follows a string of public missteps for Bieber, including his now-deleted Instagram post where he admitted to telling Hailey she'd never land a Vogue cover - comments he later walked back, writing: 'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken." Despite mounting criticism, Bieber has remained silent about the Greenblatt incident. He's continued to make public appearances in good spirits, most recently spotted in West Hollywood amid ongoing debate about his online behavior. For now, the pop star has not addressed the backlash - leaving fans, critics, and followers to continue dissecting his increasingly controversial digital footprint.

Justin Bieber, 31, accused of 'creepy' comment towards Ariana Greenblatt, 17
Justin Bieber has been criticised for a 'disturbing' comment he left on Ariana Greenblatt's Instagram page. The Baby hitmaker, 31, has made plenty of headlines recently, whether it be his controversial remarks about wife Hailey Bieber 'never being on the cover of Vogue,' or showing his support for Chris Brown after his prison release. For the latest, Bieber has been branded 'creepy' for what he wrote under Barbie actress Greenblatt's post, given that she is 14 years his junior. Greenblatt, 17, took to social media last night with a slew of photos from the set of the Fear Street: Prom Queen premiere, in which she plays Christy Renault. Her carousel included shots of her posing in a black sequin mini dress with the caption: 'fear street: prom queen is out now on netflix!!! 'horror had always been one of my favorite genres and to have this movie be my introduction into the world was an honor [sic]'. Fans of the child star were quick to shower her with compliments, but one comment caught everyone's attention. 'I love youuuuuuuuu', Bieber wrote in a comment that Greenblatt 'liked'. It appears the pair have known one another for a while, with fan accounts on X sharing that he started following her in November 2023. This was also around the time when Greenblatt modelled for Rhode, Hailey's skincare brand, and shared photos from the shoot on her Insta. However, that hasn't stopped people from interpreting JB's latest comment as somewhat unsettling, accusing him of trying to 'flirt' with the teenager. As the conversation made its way to Reddit in a thread with thousands of comments, Bieber was reminded by users that Greenblatt is 'a minor'. 'She's underaged and he's a grown man', stated @JazzyG17. They added that Greenblatt 'looks so similar to Selena Gomez so him just commenting to her like that makes it even weirder'. Bieber and Gomez began dating in 2011 and had a tumultuous on-and-off romance for eight years. Speaking about their breakup, Gomez admitted in her My Mind & Me Apple TV+ documentary that the split was 'the best thing that ever happened to [her].' Meanwhile, fellow Reddit user @throwaway042357 said: 'In no circumstance is it appropriate to comment this on a 17 year old girls profile when you're a 31 year old man.' @Fickle-Election-8137 added: 'He is 31 and this little girl is 17, that is so inappropriate. He could have left a sweet, appropriate message supporting her but of course he had to cross a line 🙄' Others accused him of 'disrespecting' wife Hailey, whom he married in 2018 and shares a young son with. @ZealousidealBreath69 said: 'Justin seem more supportive of a 17-year-old girl and Chris Brown than his own wife after her Vogue cover. He seems to enjoy embarrassing her at every opportunity.' 'He can't help but be WEIRD', declared @Some_Ad_6511. In contrast, some fans jumped in to defend Bieber, with @truestorygrande writing on X that Bieber seemed to be declaring his love for Greenblatt's recent project, adding: 'i've literally commented that under an actors post before, younger than me, and i'm married…. and does my husband freak out? hahahaha no?' 'yall are way too woke for 0 reason let him be omg', added @pizzaauchorizoo Bieber has not addressed the backlash but has appeared in high spirits in various public sightings this week, despite having faced the wrath of the internet on numerous occasions. The Yummy pop star stepped out in West Hollywood after deleting his caption about telling his other half she'd never make Vogue, saying he felt 'disrespected' and wanted to 'get even'. Bieber concluded the post with: 'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken [sic].' Meanwhile, after musician Brown – with whom Bieber has collaborated in the past – was freed on bail, he penned a warm comment of support. More Trending Brown, 36, was being held at a Manchester prison after being charged with grievous bodily harm with intent but was let out this week and ordered to pay the court a £5million security fee to ensure he returns. Under Brown's first social media post since his arrest, Bieber wrote: 'Welcome home'. His comment quickly attracted thousands of likes, but many questioned why Bieber wished to continue publicly aligning himself with the divisive R&B star.
