He's putting in the grit and grime. Justin Bieber garnered an outpouring of support from his devoted fans after posting a series of intimate, sweat-drenched selfies as he embarked on a detox journey. With the caption, "Detoxxxxxxxxxxx," alongside a carousel of close-up shots showcasing his beaded brow and flushed cheeks on Instagram on Sunday, Bieber bared it all—literally and figuratively.
Although the pop sensation refrained from elaborating on the specifics of his detox or the impetus behind it, numerous Instagram users rallied around Bieber with words of encouragement. One supporter penned, "You're on the right path, buddy! Our hearts are with your well-being." Another added, "Please stay healthy and joyful." A third chimed in, "Love you, keep pushing forward, man." While a fourth echoed, "You've got this. Keep at it."
Bieber's decision to detox comes as a sequel to his representative's denial of "harmful" drug use allegations five months ago, amidst concerns swirling around his behavior. At that time, the publicist told TMZ that the persistent rumors pertaining to the "Baby" singer's physical and mental health were "exhausting and pathetic," highlighting that despite the obvious truth, some people persist in perpetuating negative and salacious narratives.
The spokesperson for the two-time Grammy Award winner revealed that since welcoming their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, Bieber, 31, has been in a blissful space alongside his wife, Hailey Bieber. Furthermore, the representative of the "Never Say Never" crooner added that this year has marked a "profound transformation for him, as he severed ties with several close friends and business associations that no longer aligned with his journey."
Despite the public denial, Bieber has been spotted indulging in joint smoking on several occasions, including at Coachella and during a snowboarding excursion with his friends. Reports also suggest that Bieber has been grappling with financial woes and marital strains.
Last month, a source confided to "Entertainment Tonight" that the father of one has been "irritated" by his wife, the 28-year-old Rhode founder. The insider revealed, "He feels that Hailey is somewhat superficial about how their relationship appears in public." The source also claimed that "Justin's lack of motivation has been distressing for Hailey."
The reported tension between the couple has apparently spilled over into their parenting of their son, Jack. According to Us Weekly, another source disclosed that Hailey has emerged as "the steadfast parent and the glue holding the family together" amidst her husband's recent erratic behavior. The insider added, "Justin has been challenging to deal with lately due to what he's going through. It's been incredibly tough on her."
