"I was always told when I was a kid not to hate," said Justin, who was just 15 years old when he rose to fame. "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 I have been drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it," he admitted, noting his thoughts that hate can only be let go "by first acknowledging it’s there."

In the months since Justin and Hailey welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024, haters online have expressed concerns over the "Peaches" singer's well-being.

While a rep denied allegations about Justin taking prescription pills or any hard drugs, fans haven't approved of him frequently posting photos and videos of himself smoking weed and appearing distressed.

Still, Justin's team has insisted the past year has simply been "very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him."

His rep claimed negative narratives about Justin's mental and physical health have been "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive."
