On June 15, amid heartfelt Father’s Day posts with wife Hailey and son Jack, Justin Bieber shared private text screenshots revealing he’d ended a close friendship over disputes about his anger. “If you don’t like my anger, you don’t like me,” he wrote, explaining his emotional boundaries and his refusal to suppress feelings shaped by trauma.
Justin Bieber Says “Conflict Is Part of Relationships”
Justin Bieber defended his behavior by asserting, “My anger is a response to pain I have been through … Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean.” He accused the friend of misunderstanding him, responding with, “Ouch. This friendship is officially over.” Then he blocked them.

Pushing Back Against Support
He followed up with Instagram story posts: “Quit asking me if I’m okay … Your concern … feels oppressive … we should stop projecting our insecurities on each other.” The next day, he opened up further, admitting he’s “broken … have anger issues” and feels worn out by continuous advice to “heal.” However, he cited his Christian faith as his anchor.
Fan Reaction: Concern & Criticism
Fans on Reddit and social media were split:
“He seems like a manipulative, abusive POS … How awful.”
“A grown-ass man with a baby … needs to not respond with hostility.”
Many voiced anxiety over his emotional volatility, especially as a new father, while others applauded his vulnerability in addressing mental health and trauma directly.
A Misstep During Father’s Day
The emotional release coincided with what would otherwise be a heartwarming celebration. Justin Bieber had earlier marked his first Father’s Day with gifts, a romantic getaway, and a message saying, “I’m a dad that’s not to be f—– with.” The sudden clash between “dad vibes” and emotional intensity added to the public’s mixed reactions.
