Justin Bieber ends friendship after backlash over emotional text shared on Instagram

Justin Bieber recently shared a tense text exchange with an unnamed friend on Instagram, revealing deep frustrations and emotional vulnerability. The screenshots, posted Sunday evening, showed the pop star responding to being accused of “lashing out.”

Bieber defended his emotions, writing, “Conflict is part of relationship. If you don’t like my anger, you don’t like me.” He added that asking a traumatized person not to show trauma was “simply mean.”

The friend replied, “I’m not used to someone lashing out at me,” prompting Bieber to end the relationship abruptly. “This friendship is officially over,” he wrote. The singer also referred to the individual as a “p—y” and claimed he has other friends who respect his boundaries.

Bieber continued to express his feelings on his Instagram Story, urging people to stop asking if he’s okay. “Your concern doesn’t come off as care. It’s just oppressive weirdo,” he wrote. The posts sparked concern among fans over Bieber’s mental and emotional state.

This outburst follows a recent confrontation between Bieber and paparazzi outside Soho House Malibu, where he angrily told photographers to get out of his face. Taken together, these incidents appear to reflect an ongoing pattern of emotional openness and sensitivity that has increasingly defined the singer’s public persona.
