Justin Bieber is opening up about his “anger issues” on social media.
“I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh 🤦♂️,” Bieber, 31, captioned a series of photos shared via Instagram on Saturday, March 22. The photos shared included a close up, hooded selfie of the “Peaches” singer and a snap of Bieber as a child.
He also appeared to include a photo of son Jack Blues lying on a blanket as they watched a movie. (Bieber welcomed 6-month-old son Jack with wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024.)
In a subsequent post on Sunday, Justin shared a video of a jam session in his home via Instagram. “I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic,” he wrote in the caption. “Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.”
Earlier in the day, he shared a religious message about ”forgiveness” via his Instagram Story, as well as a screenshot of a 2019 Instagram caption from Hailey where she wrote about being “more vulnerable.” He captioned the screenshot in response, “”Still relevant boo 💪🏻💅.”
Justin’s posts come after speculation from fans regarding his mental health. However, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in February, “Justin is a happy camper right now,” adding that “he’s happier than he’s been in a long time.” The insider added that “there’s no breakdown” and Justin “just really doesn’t care what people think.”
At the time, the source also addressed a previous instance where the singer was spotted wearing minimal clothing at a spa. “He knows he looks strange leaving spas shirtless, but it’s just him,” the insider told Us. “And after the rumors he’s doing it out of spite now, he’s just being himself and won’t create a squeaky clean image just because the public wants him to.”
As if to confirm the source’s point, on Monday, March 17, Justin shared an upload via Instagram Story, writing, “If they aren’t talking s—, u must not be goin brazy [sic] enough.” The post was set to the Chris Brown and Young Thug song “Go Crazy.”
One day prior, Justin had shared further insight into his thoughts. “I was always told when I was a kid not to hate,” he wrote on Sunday, March 16. “But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it. Which made me feel like like [sic] I have been drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it’s there. How couldn’t we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?”
Earlier this week, Hailey shared a cryptic quote via her Instagram Story, which read, “People take the information they’re fed and they draw a picture of who you are. Most of the time, it’s wrong.”
It was later confirmed by Us on Wednesday, March 19, that Hailey is considering taking legal action after several clips went viral suggesting that she kept tabs on Justin for years before they were married.
