Justin Bieber sparked conversation online after publicly sharing screenshots of a tense text exchange in which he abruptly ended a friendship, citing emotional trauma and frustration over being misunderstood. In the messages posted to Instagram on June 15, the 31-year-old singer defended his anger as a natural response to past pain and criticized his friend for labeling it as “lashing out.” Bieber wrote, “If you don’t like my anger, you don’t like me,” and concluded the thread with, “This friendship is officially over,” followed by a middle finger emoji and a blunt farewell.
The posts were followed by a series of Instagram Stories and captions in which Bieber rejected unsolicited concern from fans, writing, “Quit asking me if I’m okay,” and criticizing what he called “oppressive weirdo” behavior. He later reflected on his mental health, faith, and exhaustion from internal struggles, stating, “Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others.” The singer’s candid posts coincided with his first Father’s Day celebration after welcoming son Jack Blues Bieber with Hailey Bieber in August 2024. He appeared to mark the day with gifts and a bold statement: “I’m a dad that’s not to be f—– with.”
