Hailey Bieber Breaks Her Silence on Justin Bieber Controversy
Over the weekend, multiple news outlets, social media content creators, and fans noticed that Hailey Bieber appeared to "unfollow" her husband, pop star Justin Bieber, on social media. She has now broken her silence on the rumors and controversy.
It has been a tumultuous few weeks for Justin Bieber on social media. Earlier this month, the pop superstar posted a message on his Instagram story in which he seemingly admitted that he had unacknowledged "hate" that was causing him to feel like he was "drowning"
“I was always told when I was a kid not to hate. But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it,” he wrote in the post on March 16. “Which made me feel like 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?”
This post came just a few days after he made a different cryptic post on his Instagram story on March 13 in which he admitted that he has always felt “unworthy” of his success and felt like a “fraud.”
He then made yet another cryptic post on Instagram in which he admitted that he had "anger issues" but was trying not to "react so much."
"I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh," Bieber wrote in the caption of his post on Instagram.
He followed those posts by posting a stream of seemingly random selfies and photos over the past few days with little or no context. He even went "live" on Instagram on Saturday night, after which fans and news outlets began to notice that Justin was no longer listed in Hailey's "following" list on Instagram.
While that obviously led to a lot of attention and speculation from fans and the media, Hailey broke her silence on the issue on Monday.
In the comments section of a video detailing the controversy, Hailey claimed that it was simply a "glitch."
"It's a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!" Hailey commented on a TikTok video.
Hailey and Justin have been married since Sept. 13, 2018. They welcomed their first child, Jack, in August.
