This report shows a house tour of Justin and Hailey's home, mentioning their past $100k a month apartment, and their mansions in Beverly Hills and Canada. Their Beverly Hills home came with the price tag of $8.5 million. This presents Justin's star image as rich, luxurious and successful. It creates him to not be as recognisable and identifiable to a younger audience as this isn't something a normal person can afford, thus they can't relate to him. This also shows contrast to his lifestyle before he became famous, and the houses he could afford. An audience may see Justin as more deserving of a house of this cost due to his background and hard work, in comparison to celebrities who were born into money and fame, e.g. Kylie Jenner. This creates a positive star image.

This article discusses Justin's Instagram post when he responds to trolls who bully Hailey. This portrays him as a protective and responsible husband. It also signifies him as masculine and strong as stereotypically, men take care of their wives. This makes a positive star image and links to his 'family man' persona he has always held.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After sharing a heartfelt message that he is taking a break from music to focus on some "deep rooted issues", Justin Bieber is back on Instagram trying to quieten a wave of trolls who still have something to say about his relationship with Hailey Baldwin.

After the "Sorry" singer posted a picture of Mrs Bieber, one follower @jaileyisjoke commented: "You are not in love with Hailey! You only married her to get back at SG [Selena Gomez] plus Hailey sleeps with men like @shawnmendes for fame and she's a racist @wflig."

This hostility from @jaileyisajoke - a moniker conceived as a dig at the portmanteau decreed by the social sphere - is not an anomaly. The couple, like many high-profile figures, is constantly subjected to the thoughts of the online community - both positive and negative. This time, however, Bieber took a stance.

"I absolutely loved and love Selena. She will always hold a place in my heart, but I am head over heels in love with my wife and she is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me period," he replied. He then went on to address the naysayers, who press send on comments without considering the repercussions: "[This] is a reply to all immature sick people who send Hailey hurtful messages, like 'he always goes back to Selena' or 'Selena is better for him'. You have no idea [about] my life and what's good for me!! Hailey is my bride period. If you don't like that or support that, [it] means you don't support me and if you don't support me, you're not a fan nor a good person."

The takedown comes weeks after Bieber first alerted his fans that he had "been struggling a lot" and "feeling super disconnected and weird". He hoped that his openness would "resonate" with the online community he has built during his decade growing up in the spotlight, and acknowledged that he "always [bounces] back so [is] not worried." Almost 5 million people liked the post.

What a difference two weeks make. Bieber ended the takedown by calling out @jaileyisajoke's immaturity, adding that he "will never respond again to a message like this - I don't like to even give it my energy." But what measures are there in place for the Biebers to safeguard themselves against trolls? Instagram, Twitter and Facebook all have guidelines for users to abide by and consult, but they are not prominent on the social platforms. Facebook's "Safety Centre", for example, has downloadable pdfs entitled "Think before you share", "End LGBT bullying online", "Empowering women online" and "Keeping Muslims safe online", but how many people actually access the portals and prevention hubs? When Vogue reached out to all of the social enterprises, none could provide a spokesperson to discuss how they specifically deal with trolls - particularly in cases involving high-profile figures, where there are whole communities of users spreading negative energy. The fact that Kensington Palace recently released its own social media rules for people commenting on the royal family shows that there is more to be done.

If Bieber deleted his social accounts, in order to "[focus] on repairing some of the deep rooted issues... so that [he doesn't] fall apart", he would shut down interaction with the followers who do bring positivity to his life. With 106 million Instagram users hanging off his every post, it would be impossible to weed out the anti-Jailey trolls from the Beliebers.

"In this day and age, I'm scared to have kids to be honest," Baldwin told Vogue last week. "I see the way the culture and the youth are now, and I think, 'In 10 years, what is it going to be like?' It's really important to help young people understand where their identity comes from."

She went on to highlight the fact that social media might promote the democratisation of celebrity culture - one where everyone can communicate with one another - but that no one knows herself or her husband "for real". "What's really weird to me is they create scenarios in their head of what they think is happening or what they think should happen," she continued. "It's just so dumb. It's so dumb." Bieber's comments, however, show that trolling might be mindless, but it has a serious impact on mental health, and it is not something that should be left to play out for the world to watch.

Justin Bieber Defends Hailey Baldwin Against Trolls, But Why Aren't Social Platforms Doing More To Help?

After sharing a heartfelt message that he is taking a break from music to focus on some "deep rooted issues", Justin Bieber is back on Instagram trying to quieten a wave of trolls who still have something to say about his relationship with Hailey Baldwin.

# data[].attributes.body
However, this video still received critical comments about Justin and Hailey's relationship. Hailey cares for Justin a lot and this was taken negatively to some viewers. This portrays Justin as a 'mummy's boy' and perhaps that he has lack of independence, getting Hailey to do for everything for him.

# data[].attributes.body
Justin's latest TikTok videos with his wife Hailey, portray them as regular and humble stars as they are self isolating. It shows them in their home, dancing and having fun, whilst recording on an iPhone. This is relatable to many of Justin's fans and young people creating TikTok's at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
These are images from Justin's Meet and Greets he has every tour. This shows he likes to meet his fans and shows a laid back side to him through his funny poses.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a list of all the charities Justin has supported throughout his career.

# data[].attributes.body
This is Justin's Instagram feed at the moment. He has reposted numerous fan videos of their TikTok dances to his song. This shows he spends his time appreciating his fans and knows they are worthy of recognition, and how something as simple as a repost could mean the world to them.

# data[].attributes.body
These memes created show Justin does have many haters and critical fans. When he first rose to fame there were numerous jokes about his sexuality, his high pitch voice and his looks. Overtime these jokes have seemed to lesson, as Justin has matured and so has his voice. I also believing using the term 'gay' in a derogative way isn't as common anymore. For instance the phrase, "that's so gay" in effort to offend somebody. Society seems to be more aware of the impact these comments can cause.

# data[].attributes.body
However, the cost of the Meet and Greets contradicts Justin's persona, as one experience costs over $1500. This creates a star image of greed and selfishness, charging an extortionate amount for just one group picture and is unfair to expect fans to afford this, especially when his target audience is young and fans may still be in school etc. On the other hand, fans may argue deciding prices isn't up to Justin, but his manager and label instead. Thus, Justin's positive and humble star image remains in tact.

Justin Bieber is giving back! On Feb. 7, the 25-year-old singer stopped by MTV's Fresh Out Live to talk about his new song "Intentions," but not without taking time to honour one of his longtime fans. Among those in the crowd was 22-year-old Julie Coker, the president of the Stockton University chapter of Active Minds, a nonprofit organisation that aims to support the mental health of college students. Julie joined the singer on stage to share a hug before Justin surprised her with a $100,000 check to help support her efforts. The two also shared a sweet interaction offscreen. "He was wonderful," Julie told Billboard. "I said, 'Congratulations,' because he got married to Hailey, and he asked me about my mental health story, and I told him that."

Justin has been very open about his mental health. One of his most powerful statements came in September when he shared a lengthy Instagram post about his struggles with growing up in the spotlight. "Have you noticed the statistics of child stars and the outcome of their life?" he wrote. "There is an insane pressure and responsibility put on a child who's brain, emotions, frontal lobes (decision making) aren't developed yet . . . When you add the pressure of stardom, it does something to you that is quite unexplainable [sic]."

He went on to say that his relationship with wife Hailey has helped him get to a better place, adding, "I am navigating the best season of my life 'MARRIAGE'!! Which is an amazing crazy new responsibility. You learn patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility and all of the things it looks like to be a good man."

Some might think Justin Bieber has unfairly gotten a bad rap, but a new video of the 19-year-old carelessly peeing into a restaurant mop bucket doesn't add to any good-boy image.

TMZ obtained a video of Bieber relieving himself into a mop bucket in the back of an unidentified restaurant in New York City earlier this year. The singer -- whom TMZ describes as an "oblivious, self-important little twit" -- apparently saw no issue with it, laughing through the recording despite the fact that some unwitting employee probably had to clean that up.

To top it all off, at the end of the clip Bieber sprays a photo of Bill Clinton with a cleaning liquid and says "F**k Bill Clinton!"

When contacted by The Huffington Post, representatives for Bieber declined to comment.

The pop singer has been making fewer headlines about his music and more about his behavior recently. A Twitter meltdown, drugs on his tour bus and an insensitive message written in the guestbook at the Anne Frank House are some of the lowlights. Most recently, Bieber was banned from an indoor skydiving facility in Las Vegas after he failed to pay a $1,600 bill for him and his friends, whom staff described as "a disrespectful bunch."

Bieber has attempted to defend himself by reasoning "I'm young and I make mistakes." His mother thinks he is a good kid just going through some changes.

"I think it's the same with any parent of an adult child," Pattie Mallette told "Fox & Friends" during an interview Tuesday. "You know, once they turn 18, 19, and they move away from home and they start making their own decisions. The parenting style changes and you hope to still be a voice in their ear and you."

"You know, you've got to love them and encourage them and he knows what I think," she added. "He knows the things that I agree with. He knows the things that I disagree with. But he also knows the many things that I'm really proud of him for. He does a lot of great things that don't show up in the headlines."

When Justin visited the Anne Frank House in 2013, he wrote in the guestbook he'd hope she would've been a Belieber. This received a lot of backlash and creates an ill-mannered and narcissistic star image.

Justin Bieber has caused outrage with his message in a guestbook at the Anne Frank Museum, saying he hoped the Holocaust victim would have been a fan.

The 19-year-old pop idol wrote: "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."

It has provoked fierce online criticism of the Canadian singer, who is in Amsterdam as part of a tour.

The museum defended the star but added his comment "wasn't very sensible".

The Canadian singer's comment was quoted on the Anne Frank House Facebook page following his visit on Friday evening.

Anne Frank's diary, written during the two years the teenager and her family hid from the Nazis in occupied Amsterdam, made her a symbol of the suffering of Jews during World War II.

The house has been turned into a museum dedicated to the young girl, who died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945 aged 15.

The suggestion that had she lived today, the teenager would have been a "belieber" - a term used by his devoted fans to describe themselves - generated thousands of horrified responses on social networking websites.

"Just saw what Justin Bieber wrote in the Anne Frank Museum guestbook. Absolutely disgusted," read one tweet.

"Way to turn an inspiring moment into something about yourself," read another.

However, museum spokeswoman Maatje Mostart defended the young star to the BBC, saying: "He's 19. It's a crazy life he's living, he didn't mean bad... and also it's nice that he made the effort, he didn't have to come."

As the coronavirus continues to spread throughout China, infecting more than 43,000 people globally and causing more than 1,300 deaths so far, Justin Bieber is doing what he can to support.

The crooner took to Instagram the day before his Changes album release (Feb. 13) to send love to China "as a collective humanity and have made a donation to support."

"I know it's a very scary time in your country right now, but my prayers and support go out to you guys. You guys are amazing," Bieber says in the clip, alongside a photo of his donation confirmation to Beijing Chunmiao Children Aid Foundation.

He also shouted out Chinese entertainer Kris Wu "for the conversation," which likely inspired the singer to make this heartfelt donation. See his post below.

Justin Bieber's Purpose World Tour kicks off in just four days. Any children who fancy themselves as dancers now have an opportunity to get up onstage and dance with the Biebs during each show.

Why just kids? It's because the onstage moment will take place during "Children," a Skrillex-produced rave track which appears on the pop icon's hugely successful, acclaimed album. Hence #PurposeTourChildren.

Four kids between the ages of 9-15 are invited to dance with Justin in a set routine to "Children" at each Purpose tour stop. The trek starts on March 9 in Seattle, Washington.

So, what do entrants have to do to be given a chance to dance it off with the Canadian superstar? As explained by Nick DeMoura, the tour's creative director and choreographer, in a YouTube video posted to Bieber's Kidrauhl account, there are rules in the dance contest.

1. A child can only submit once to be chosen.

2: Each applicant has to send in a video of themselves dancing in a sequence to "Children" with a little freestyle at the end. DeMoura says he's looking for "high energy, clean dancing."

3: Say your name, age, and which city you live in at some point during your video.

4: Also state why you want to be onstage with Justin during your clip.

5: The video has to be posted on YouTube before 9 a.m. on March 7

6: In the title of your video, add the hashtag #PurposeTourChildren then add your particular city. For example, Chicago or Boston.

7: Add your full name and a contact email in the description by your YouTube video upload.

Here's an example of a fan's submission. Note how it's labeled.

To download "Children," click here. To download Purpose, go here. The steps to the Kevin Maher-created dance sequence are simple enough for the required age range.

On Friday, DeMoura, Bieber, and the dancers featured in the #PurposeTourChildren video tweeted the clip with messages inviting fans to send in their submissions. Initially, the age range for entrants was 9-13, but the pop star raised the bar to 15, most likely after a flood of complaints from teen fans on Twitter.

For weeks, pics, videos, and messages about the tour have been popping up online while the band and dancers rehearse.

Meanwhile, the just-turned 22-year-old Bieber, Instagrammed landscape photos of what's thought to be western Oregon on Thursday.

The heartthrob was spotted in Whitefish, Montana the same day.

Earlier in the week, media chased its own tail after a satire site claimed Bieber was planning on moving to Oregon. On Thursday, the local Register-Guard reported the singer was in Eugene, Oregon on Thursday to rehearse for his Purpose Tour at the Matthew Knight Arena.

The paper wrote, " Justin Bieber enthusiasts and security guards kept each other company on Thursday at the Inn at the 5th Thursday as fans stayed outside the hotel hoping to catch a glimpse of the 22-year-old pop star."

"Bieber songs. 'As long as you love me' and 'Sorry' could be heard through the arena's doors. According to one security guard outside the arena, Bieber's crew had been at the arena Wednesday night until 4:30 a.m. Thursday," the paper added.

The Biebs was also spotted at a local skate park in Springfield, Oregon on Friday.

Hours later, the superstar was spotted again in Eugene.

Justin Bieber will no doubt melt many girls' hearts after admitting he's a real mummy's boy and wishes she would spend more time with him on tour.

At 18-years-old, Justin is one of the biggest pop stars in the world after hitting the music scene in 2009 with mega hit Baby.And while his mum used to travel everywhere with him when he toured, she's now started letting him spread his wings. But this isn't want Justin wants.

Speaking to ITV's Daybreak presenter Aled Jones , girl magnet Bieber admitted he misses spending time with his mum and wants things to go back to how they were in his younger days.

He said: 'I do miss her, I mean especially like now being 18 and, you know, when before when I was round her all the time so I was getting sick of her and I would look forward to her leaving.

'It would be like "yes mum's leaving tomorrow!" And now I'm like, "When is mum coming back?" because I don't see her that often so, you know, it's funny how those things change.'

Justin explained that as well as wanting him to go it alone, his mum, Patricia Mallette, has been busy working on her new book.But when the Boyfriend hitmaker visits the UK, he explained he has plenty of support from his 'dedicated' fans so doesn't need the home comforts as much.

And when asked about the difference between his US fans and his UK followers, he said: 'In the States they chase the car for a little bit but here they chase the car and then they run for blocks.

'Then they get their bikes and they're riding along. Yeah...they're very dedicated.'I never get fed up with it, I mean I've been so blessed to just, you know, so many people just wish to have the fan base that I have so I never regret anything.'

He also joked that his new book won't be too riveting for his fans though as 'they already know everything about me!'

This in-depth interview discusses Justin's love life, mental health and new album. His posture and body language create an anxious and nervous star image, constantly tapping his foot and looking downwards. This contrasts a lot to his body language in earlier interviews. He states he "wasn't in a place to be faithful", "seeing me with other people hurt her" this brings the star image of unfaithfulness and cheating into question. Although never properly said, its fair to believe this is the case.

Over four years is a long time to go between albums in pop music, and it has been an especially eventful period for Selena Gomez. In the space between 2015's Revival and her latest release, Rare, Gomez has battled Lupus, depression and anxiety, and had two high profile breakups - all while millions followed along on social media.

All of those public struggles form the backbone for the songs on Rare, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart last week. Gomez spoke with NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro about learning to take care of her mental health, trying to take control of her public narrative and seeking closure through songwriting. Listen in the player above or read on for a transcript of their conversation.

You've said this album is your diary from the past few years, and it does sound like it's a diary that was full of a lot of hurt. I want to talk about one of the songs, "Fun" - there are a couple on this album that reference your struggles with mental health. You've spoken about suffering from anxiety and depression, and you took a break in 2018 for your mental health. It sounds like you're doing a lot better now. How'd you get there?
Selena Gomez: The word has meant so much more to me than just a title of a song. We live in a time where everything is based on your looks and social media and there are so many different channels telling people what they should look like, and how they should do this, do that. And I want to represent a person that is just saying "You are who are; you're unique and you're rare."

Right. Super fun. [Laughs]

I felt I didn't get a respectful closure.
"Lose You To Love Me" is your first No. 1 song off this album - tell me about this song.
The reason why I've become so vocal about the trials and tribulations of my life is because people were already going to narrate that for me. I wasn't going to have a choice because of how fast everything moves now. And most of the time, yes, it's not true, or it's an embellished version of what the truth is. I want to be able to tell my story the way that I want to tell it. And all of these things happened, and I wasn't going to deny that, I wasn't going to pretend to put a smile on when it actually was awful - a few of the worst moments of my life. And I don't know if I would have made it. And that's medical reasons, obviously, and emotional reasons. I just had to find a way to claim my story.
Saying goodbye to Justin Bieber Do you look back on that time, and when you think about the parts of your life that were painful, that you've kind of moved on from, is that one of the harder parts? , who I'm assuming you're speaking about. You mean emotional abuse?
I feel great, yeah. I'm on the proper medication that I need to be on, even as far as my mental health. I fully believe in just making sure you check in with your doctors or therapist. [Taking care of mental health - ] that's forever. That's something I will have to continue to work on. Yes, I don't think I just magically feel better. I have days where it is hard for me to get out of bed, or I have major anxiety attacks. All of that still happens. I think "Fun," in that particular way, was that I do like learning about it. When I was a kid, I was terrified of thunderstorms; it would freak me out. I was in Texas, so I would assumethat thunder and lightning would mean "tornado." And so my mom, she would give me these books - and they're the little thin books for kids to know about "What's rain?" and "What's this?" and she just said "The more you learn about it and how it works, the less you're going to be afraid of it." I think that took so much work for me.
I want to go out on the song "Vulnerable," because to me the idea of staying vulnerable represents the ability to move forward. What does that song mean to you?

As I grew up in this chaotic space, I did have to learn how to be tough, and to be strong, but I'm not this hard person.

But the way I find these moments in my life that are pretty difficult, I think the only way it's helped me is that I can use that for good. So yeah, I can sit down with somebody who's gone through a lot of health issues, I can sit down with someone who has had their heart completely broken, or a family that's broken, fighting for their right to stay in this country, or kids who are going through things they shouldn't even be worrying about at that age. I want to live in a world where an 11-year-old is not committing suicide because of bullying on social media. That's what I think my real mission is; I think that I have such big dreams and ideas for ways that I can give back. And right now I know that this is something that will be for life.

I'm very proud of it. It has a different meaning to me now from when I wrote it. I felt I didn't get a respectful closure, and I had accepted that, but I know I needed some way to just say a few things that I wish I had said. It's not a hateful song; it's a song that is saying - I had something beautiful and I would never deny that it wasn't that. It was very difficult and I'm happy it's over. And I felt like this was a great way to just say, you know, it's done, and I understand that, and I respect that, and now here I am stepping into a whole other chapter.

You had to get the name in, I get it.

No, because I've found the strength in it. It's dangerous to stay in a victim mentality. And I'm not being disrespectful, I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse -

Yes, and I think that it's something that - I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. And I had to understand the choices I was making. As much as I definitely don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever felt and I've found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible. [Editor's note: NPR has reached out to Justin Bieber for comment.]

That means to me that vulnerability - and I've said this before - is a strength. And as I grew up in this chaotic space, I did have to learn how to be tough, and to be strong, but I'm not this hard person. And I have every right to be: From 7-years-old to 27, I've been working, and I've had the most horrible things said to me, said about me, and being exposed to way too much. One of my issues is that I always felt like I was this weak person because I would cry, or I would get emotional, or I hated when people were rude. I just started getting to the place, definitely a few years ago, where I understood that vulnerability is actually such a strength. I shine the most within when I'm sharing my story with someone, or when I'm there for a friend, or when I do meet someone, I'm not bitter and sarcastic - I mean sometimes I am, but I'm proud that I'm okay with speaking about my heart. And the whole song is saying "Hey if I give this to you, If I give myself to you, are you strong enough to be there for me?" If not, I'll let go of the situation but I'm still going to be vulnerable to what's next.

Justin & Hailey - Justin Bieber: Seasons

# data[].attributes.body
Justin and Hailey appeared on the cover of Vogue as an official married couple in March 2019. This interview portrays them as a normal couple as they state "marriage is effing hard." This is relatable to other couples who understand the struggles of marriage. The interviewer writes: "He produces long, anxious exhalations, he gets the giggles, he apologizes if he’s making me nervous." which again adds to this humble and human persona. In contrast to this, the clothing they have chosen to wear: a Prada suit and Pack Rabanne create a rich and luxurious star image of both celebrities. This shows that stars are more than what they wear or own.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's been said that a man risks his marriage by coming home late-and may put it in even greater jeopardy by coming home early. Though he turns 25 next month, Justin Bieber believes that his late nights and their ruthlessly documented excesses are behind him. In their place, at this moment, the uncounted, uncertain hours of marriage stretch out, a red carpet hung like a tightrope.

It's just before Christmas, and white, tinseled trees festoon the lobby of the hotel where for years Bieber has lived when he is in Los Angeles. His suite is not quite in keeping with the holiday spirit, piled instead with the giant suitcases that are hardly worth unpacking only to pack again, and there is nothing much to eat, except for potato chips and grapes (simultaneously, as he demonstrates later). Bieber has just returned from an abortive attempt at the Hoffman Process, a weeklong intensive group-therapy retreat with a devoted Hollywood following. He feels that he wasn't ready. He rushed through the pre-Process questionnaire, and he wasn't comfortable with the exercises. "There were these séances," he explains. "Or not really séances but these traditions. They light candles, and it kind of freaked me out. You sit on a mat, you put a pillow down, and you beat your past out of it. I beat the fact that my mom was depressed a lot of my life and my dad has anger issues. Stuff that they passed on that I'm kind of mad they gave me."

Watch Hailey Bieber on Her Vogue Cover, How Justin Proposed, and Loving Shake Shack:

So Bieber left Hoffman's Napa Valley campus and flew to Seattle, where he joined his wife, the model and TV presenter Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin). They had a meeting with a marriage counselor recommended by their good friend and pastor Judah Smith and then drove to Suncadia, the forest resort where the Smiths have a weekend home. "The thing is, marriage is very hard," says Hailey. "That is the sentence you should lead with. It's really effing hard." The couple, who got married at a lower Manhattan courthouse last September after a twelve-week romance in the context of a nearly ten-year friendship, and who are still finalizing plans for a real wedding, sit side by side on the living room sofa in the oversize and expensive sweat outfits that represent their shared style. But the configuration shifts according to Justin's restless maneuverings: No sooner has he settled in than he jumps up to do a little jig; he climbs over the sofa, squeezes between Hailey and the bolster and enfolds her in his arms; he spins his body around and puts his head in her lap, then jumps up again, bathes her neck in kisses, and whispers endearments ("Guess what? You're amazing") before jolting himself out of his reverie. "It's hard for me to do just one thing at a time," he says, his tooth-filled smile like a beacon.

Justin wants me to know that I am catching him at an especially vulnerable moment, and he is nervous. It's been more than two years since he sat for a lengthy interview, around the release of his fourth (and most recent) studio album, Purpose. At the time he was in the middle of what many were calling an apology tour-a period in which he seemed to be asserting that he had put his now famously bad behavior behind him, coincident with a collection of songs that hit with critics, millennials, and men, not just the teenage girls who had propelled him to a decade of pop hegemony. But after performing more than 150 concerts in 40 countries in sixteen months for Purpose, in the summer of 2017 he canceled the final fourteen shows. "I got really depressed on tour," he recalls. "I haven't talked about this, and I'm still processing so much stuff that I haven't talked about. I was lonely. I needed some time."

It is impossible not to feel, in Justin's presence, that he is still recovering from something-the fame whose price was his childhood, the mortification of a thousand magnified adolescent peccadilloes, an accumulated uncertainty about the attentions of those in his orbit-and these scars crowd the surface like his innumerable tattoos. Smith told me that when he first met Justin as a young teenager, he felt called upon to love and protect him. After an hour in his company, I heard some approximation of this call. Journalists have often described Justin as difficult to talk to, a criticism that seems unfair. The frequently interviewed become deft at pivots and obfuscations, and so Justin's guilelessness can be disarming by comparison. He says just what comes to mind, no filters: "I like you"; "You're stressing me out, bro." He produces long, anxious exhalations, he gets the giggles, he apologizes if he's making me nervous. "It's been so hard for me to trust people," he explains. "I've struggled with the feeling that people are using me or aren't really there for me, and that writers are looking to get something out of me and then use it against me. One of the big things for me is trusting myself. I've made some bad decisions personally, and in relationships. Those mistakes have affected my confidence in my judgment. It's been difficult for me even to trust Hailey." He turns to her. "We've been working through stuff. And it's great, right?"

Justin and Hailey, who is 22, go way back-all the way to a Today-show appearance in 2009 to which she had been given tickets by her uncle the actor Alec Baldwin. Her father, Stephen, and Justin's mother, Pattie Mallette, who are both born-again Christians, developed a friendship that connected their kids, if not initially with much enthusiasm. Hailey refutes the version of their origin story that casts her as the ultimate Belieber (the name for Justin's army of fangirls). "I was never a superfan, of him or of anyone," she says. "It was never that crazed, screaming thing. I didn't think about it in any kind of way except for the fact that he was cute. Everybody had a crush on him. But for the first few years we had a weird age gap." They didn't develop a real friendship until a few years later, when Hailey started attending services at Hillsong, the Australian megachurch whose New York satellite was gathering at Irving Plaza at the time. "One day Justin walked into Hillsong and was like, 'Hey, you got older.' I was like, 'Yeah, what's up?' Over time he became my best guy friend. I was running around with him as his homie, but we weren't hanging out [romantically]."

Three years ago they did date, briefly, and while she was under no illusions about his capacity for exclusivity at the time, things did not end well. Both intimate that a betrayal occurred. "Negative things happened that we still need to talk about and work through," Hailey explains. " Fizzled would not be the right word-it was more like a very dramatic excommunication. There was a period where if I walked into a room, he would walk out." But in June 2018, they ran into each other at a conference in Miami hosted by Rich Wilkerson Jr., the pastor of Vous Church, who officiated at the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. "The common denominator, I promise you, is always church. By then we were past the drama. I just gave him a hug. By the end of the conference, he was like, 'We're not going to be friends.' I was like, 'We're not?' " Within a month, he had slipped an enormous oval-shaped diamond ring on her finger.

To understand the Biebers' relationship, it's necessary to understand their belief in and attraction to each other's fundamental differentness. He is the id to her superego, the wild thing she could never have permitted of herself. Hailey devoted twelve highly disciplined years to ballet. She was mostly homeschooled in suburban New York. She has never touched a drug, convinced of her genetic vulnerability to addiction. (Her father had a severe problem with cocaine before she was born and has been sober for nearly 30 years.) She is, by her own and others' accounts, a careful and deliberate person, rational to a fault. Friends describe her with words like secure, steady, and strong. Justin's friends call him soft, sensitive, all heart, ruled by emotions so intense that he has often needed to numb them with drugs, or not risk them on meaningful relationships.

"Justin is someone who cares too much," says Ryan Good, who spent years as his stylist and road manager and is creative-directing his new clothing line, Drew House. (Drew is Justin's middle name.) The vibe is a house in the San Fernando Valley where everyone is welcome: corduroy, primary colors, grunge, and skater influences. Justin and Ryan are designing everything themselves and releasing items on the website as they're ready, beginning this past December with a cheap hotel slipper appliquéd with Drew House's logo, a smiley face. (Justin loves hotel slippers.) They sold them for $5 a pair, and they are now fetching hundreds of dollars on eBay. "That caring," Ryan continues, "is what makes Justin such a great performer. He can really feel the mood of a crowd. But in his world, where there's so much take-take-take, it's hard for him to feel safe. Hailey is this force of calm. She is level."

Hailey views her own temperament as requiring the corrective of his. "He'll say, 'I feel,' and I'll say, 'I think,' " she explains. "I have to really dive deep and struggle to be in touch with my emotions. He gets there immediately."

"I'm the emotionally unstable one," says Justin. "I struggle with finding peace. I just feel like I care so much and I want things to be so good and I want people to like me. Hailey's very logical and structured, which I need. I've always wanted security-with my dad being gone sometimes when I was a kid, with being on the road. With the lifestyle I live, everything is so uncertain. I need one thing that's certain. And that"-he picks up her hand-"is my baby boo."

On a rainy night in Beverly Hills, a thousand or so 20-somethings in leather jackets, hoodies, skater T-shirts, and stoner pajama bottoms filter into the Saban Theatre for the weekly Wednesday service of Churchome, Judah Smith's Seattle-based ministry, which is part of a new wave of evangelical congregations attracting young Angelenos. High fives and bro hugs ripple through the auditorium. Tonight Smith, in a raw denim jacket with a shearling collar and black skinny jeans, has crafted a sermon around Old and New Testament stories of pairs of brothers: Cain and Abel, the Prodigal Son. He weaves in the tale of a recent trip in which his ear-hair trimmer was mistaken for a vibrator by the TSA. He prays for his beloved Seattle Seahawks (he is the team's official chaplain). And he preaches the importance of answering the question "Am I my brother's keeper?" with a constant and resounding Yes. Justin, Hailey, and their friends listen intently from a dozen reserved seats in the first two rows, their giant parkas making cartoon silhouettes.

"I wouldn't consider myself religious," Justin tells me. "That confuses a lot of people because they're like, Well, you go to church. I believe in the story of Jesus-that's the simplicity of what I believe. But I don't believe in all the religious elitism and pretentiousness, like people are better than you because they come to church, like you have to go to church and dress a certain way. I get sensitive when religion comes up because it's been so hurtful to a lot of people. I don't want to be thought of as someone who stands for any of the injustice that religion has done and does do."

Justin has been especially focused on his own moral development lately, what he describes as "character stuff." Last fall he made a decision to step back from music for the moment to focus on being the man he feels no one ever taught him how to be, and above all a good husband. "Just thinking about music stresses me out," he says. "I've been successful since I was thirteen, so I didn't really have a chance to find who I was apart from what I did. I just needed some time to evaluate myself: who I am, what I want out of my life, my relationships, who I want to be-stuff that when you're so immersed in the music business you kind of lose sight of." He has looked to Smith as a role model, just as he turned to the Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz four years ago at what he regards as his personal low point. Justin was raised by a single mother in small-town Ontario public housing, and he burst into fame at age thirteen when the man who would become his manager, Scooter Braun, discovered a group of YouTube videos that his mother had posted. Braun brought him to Atlanta, where he was introduced to Usher and given a new style and a new sound. He worshiped his mentors in hip-hop, absorbing their vernacular, singing about shorties before he knew what the word meant. "I was real at first," Justin says, "and then I was manufactured as, slowly, they just took more and more control." It felt fantastic to be famous, to be adored by girls. At sixteen, he blindly believed the hype. "I started really feeling myself too much. People love me, I'm the shit-that's honestly what I thought. I got very arrogant and cocky. I was wearing sunglasses inside." (Inside at night, says Hailey.)

By 2013, he had immolated the sugary, prepubescent teen idol. And within another year he was a train wreck. The cringing media cataloged his succession of offenses, from egging a neighbor's house to urinating in a mop bucket, from turning up in a Brazilian brothel to catching a DUI charge after drag-racing his Lamborghini in Miami Beach. Oh, and there was the unfortunate capuchin monkey seized at customs in Germany. Justin would like to laugh at his teenage self, and indeed he seems torn between self-flagellation and a desire to give himself the break that few others were offering. "A lot of the douchey things I was doing gave people the right to be like, Man, that's frickin' douchey, bro. But a lot of the stuff was like-me peeing in a bucket, people made such a big deal of that. Or me owning a monkey. It's like, if you had the money that I had, why wouldn't you get a monkey? You would get a monkey!" Internally, Justin was dissolving. He was abusing Xanax, which allowed him to somnambulate through a social life that never squared with his upbringing. "I found myself doing things that I was so ashamed of, being super-promiscuous and stuff, and I think I used Xanax because I was so ashamed. My mom always said to treat women with respect. For me that was always in my head while I was doing it, so I could never enjoy it. Drugs put a screen between me and what I was doing. It got pretty dark. I think there were times when my security was coming in late at night to check my pulse and see if I was still breathing."

Smith had always been clear that he was there if Justin needed him, but he did not see it as his place to intervene. "I've said before that I've learned more from Justin than I think he's learned from me-about the human condition, about pain," Smith says. "He gives a lot to the world, and a lot has been taken from him, including a bit of the natural progression of development, the chance to grow relationally and socially. He can feel everything, and that's from those years spent wondering who in the room is being authentic with him. His spider sense is remarkable, but it haunts him a bit. He'll notice people's eyebrow movements. I get emotional now, watching him make a great effort to care about the people around him when the last decade of his life was lived in a glass box."

Lentz has a more tough-love style, and in 2014, as Justin was tanking, he pressed for the singer to move into his home in New Jersey for an informal detox. For several weeks they played basketball, hockey, and soccer. Justin interned for Lentz at Hillsong and refocused on his religious faith. Though he drinks alcohol socially, Justin says that he has not ingested a drug since. Hailey remembers the trip to the Lentzes' as the culmination of a long, frightening chapter. "I grieved very intensely over the whole situation," she remembers. "I just wanted him to be happy and be good and be safe and feel joy. But I'm really proud of him. To do it without a program, and to stick with it without a sober coach or AA or classes-I think it's extraordinary. He is, in ways, a walking miracle."

Last summer, after years as a nomad, Justin bought a house outside Toronto. The couple settled into it in September, and they agree that real cohabitation-the kind that doesn't take place in hotel rooms, on vacations-has been a test. They are squabbling over decorating decisions. Healthy communication is a constant challenge, and in therapy they are working on developing an ebb and flow so that their personalities don't lock horns. Sometimes they tiptoe around each other, and at others they practice arguing without being unkind. "Fighting is good," Justin says. "Doesn't the Bible talk about righteous anger? We don't want to lose each other. We don't want to say the wrong thing, and so we've been struggling with not expressing our emotions, which has been driving me absolutely crazy because I just need to express myself, and it's been really difficult to get her to say what she feels."

"You'll get it out of me the next morning," Hailey promises. She admits that the first weeks of marriage were deeply lonely for her. She felt homesick for her parents, even though she hadn't lived with them in five years. Perhaps hardest of all was her sense that in marrying Justin she suddenly had a hundred million rivals. So many people on social media seemed to be rooting for them to fail. No one appreciated how seriously she had taken the decision to get married, how much she had prayed about it. "I prayed to feel peace about the decision, and that's where I landed," she explains. "I love him very much. I have loved him for a long time."

When the couple reconnected last June, Justin was more than a year into a self-imposed tenure of celibacy. He had what he calls "a legitimate problem with sex." It was his remaining vice, an addiction that had long since ceased to provide him any pleasure. Not having sex, he decided, was a way for him to feel closer to God. "He doesn't ask us not to have sex for him because he wants rules and stuff," Justin explains. "He's like, I'm trying to protect you from hurt and pain. I think sex can cause a lot of pain. Sometimes people have sex because they don't feel good enough. Because they lack self-worth. Women do that, and guys do that. I wanted to rededicate myself to God in that way because I really felt it was better for the condition of my soul. And I believe that God blessed me with Hailey as a result. There are perks. You get rewarded for good behavior." People have speculated that Justin and Hailey married because she got pregnant, which is false. (No babies for at least a couple of years, Hailey says.) Justin admits that while a desire finally to have sex was one reason they sped to the courthouse, it was not the only reason. "When I saw her last June, I just forgot how much I loved her and how much I missed her and how much of a positive impact she made on my life. I was like, Holy cow, this is what I've been looking for."

One thing they have learned is that they are pretty happy homebodies. They like to lounge around the house, watch movies, listen to music and dance in their kitchen. Though there is work to do, Justin wishes that Hailey would take just a little pressure off herself. "She's trying to be this grown-up," he says. "I think we can be married and still have fun and enjoy our adolescence. That's something we're talking about."

"It's just that I'm fighting to do this the right way, to build a healthy relationship," Hailey clarifies. "I want people to know that. We're coming from a really genuine place. But we're two young people who are learning as we go. I'm not going to sit here and lie and say it's all a magical fantasy. It's always going to be hard. It's a choice. You don't feel it every single day. You don't wake up every day saying, 'I'm absolutely so in love and you are perfect.' That's not what being married is. But there's something beautiful about it anyway-about wanting to fight for something, commit to building with someone. We're really young, and that's a scary aspect. We're going to change a lot. But we're committed to growing together and supporting each other in those changes. That's how I look at it. At the end of the day, too, he's my best friend. I never get sick of him."

Justin grins. "And you're my baby boo."

Justin's love life has been a significant part of Justin's career, linked to many female stars that have their own music careers, have appeared in his music videos, or famous models. This was and still is widely spoken about by the media as a gossip column, due to Justin's level of fame and his fanbase being made up mostly of young females, everyone had an opinion. Most females Justin has been associated with throughout the years have experience a lot of online abuse and criticism from fans. This links into the severity of the Belieber fandom.

A post from Justin in 2016 stating he is cancelling his meet and greets for the sake of his mental health.
"The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders." This shows that the star image Justin has created through the media, his music, and online presence, fans expect him to act like all the time, including when they finally meet him. This is an authentic thing to do and portrays Justin as mature and responsible, putting his mental health first before his career and making money.

Love u guys.. I'm going to be canceling my meet and greets. I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy.. Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression .. The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders. Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised. Can't tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn't so hard on me.. And I want to stay in the healthy mindset I'm in to give you the best show you have ever seen ;)

This Instagram post from 2019 includes a long, heartfelt caption about Justin's anxiety: "fight for what you love and who you love don’t let fear and anxiety win." This is a message fans can identify and relate to, seeing Justin as a 'hero' and a 'survivor.' He also speaks a lot about his relationship with God and how this helped with his mental health.

Don't stop fighting the battle has already won.. fight for what you love and who you love don't let fear and anxiety win..god has not given us a spirit of fear but of power love and of a sound mind! I havent believed the truth about myself I haven't believed I am loved I haven't believed I am forgiven it's a hard thing for me to wrap my head around. I hang my head in shame and I wallow in sadnes about the the people who have betrayed me. Jesus has given me freedom and the persuit of getting to know his character is never ending. Gods character never changes he is the same yesterday now and forever. He is always good!. I won't be afraid to be vulnerable before him.. his power is made strong in our weakness. God isn't afraid of your pain and your brokenness he actually welcomes it. Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest! these are words from Jesus! There is hope and it's in him.!! He loves and cares for you! For god so loved the world that he gave his only son so that whoever believes him wont die but have eternal life! You are that whoever and he accepts you as you are!! He loves and forgives you and welcomes you into his arms every time you mess He is a perfect and loving god who adores you!

Justin released a mini docu-series on his Youtube account, Seasons, which highlights his battle with drugs, depression and anxiety, his marriage with Hailey Bieber, and getting back into music. In this episode Justin talks about the mixture of drugs he did and that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease. This demonstrates a completely raw and honest view of his star image. He takes on the role of 'survivor' here, showing his desperation to survive and get past this. He also takes the blame and responsibility for his past actions. Justin also introduces his nurse and speaks about how appreciative and grateful he is to them, lining back to the humble Justin we saw when he first found fame.

Here Justin is seen lashing out at paparazzi in 2013 after a photographer shouts at him: "fucking little cock, fuck off back to America!" Justin retaliates, shouting "what the fuck did you say? I'll fucking beat the fuck out of you!" This threatening and violent behaviour creates a negative star image for Justin and a non-influential figure to younger fans. His strong language use adds to this. However, some of the Youtube comments show that fans are on Justin's side, as it was the photographer who started it.

This Instagram post from 2019 includes Justin addressing his past and coming to terms with the damage he caused in his relationships, due to the impact of drugs and the media. "Have you noticed the statistics of child stars and the outcome of their life?" here he is grouping together himself and other stars who have had a bad past, e.g. Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato etc. He admits he had suicidal thoughts, thus as an audience we feel sympathy for Justin as we finally hear his side of the story, and many people praised him for speaking out about his personal issues.

Between the years of 2012 and 2015, Justin's behaviour began to change and he started to act out erratically. These examples present a stereotypical 'Rock Star' demeanour: getting involved with drugs and alcohol, getting arrested, being rude and careless to paparazzi, and overall behaving in a negative way, fitting into a 'Bad Boy' star image. I think the media reaction to this was so great due to this being such an unusual period for Justin. From what we had been shown both online, in the media, and from how Justin himself presents himself in previous years, it was very different to how he was acting at this point. These behaviours didn't align with the star image we, or fans, believed he held.

Justin Bieber has shared an emotional essay about how childhood stardom led him to make a string of bad decisions and become "the most hated person in the world", resulting in thoughts of killing himself. "Sometimes it can get to the point where you don't even want to live any more," he wrote in a long note posted on Instagram.

"I went from a 13-year-old boy in a small town to being praised left and right by the world, with millions saying how they loved me and how great I was ... You hear these things enough as a young boy and you actually start believing [them]."

The musician, who was discovered aged 13 by manager Scooter Braun, wrote: "Everyone did everything for me so I never even learned the fundamentals of responsibility."

In 2013, when he was 19, Bieber attempted to take his pet monkey to Germany. The animal was seized at customs in Munich and placed in quarantine. Bieber did not retrieve the monkey, which was transferred to a local zoo.

Later that year, his neighbours in Calabasas, California, accused him of speeding through the streets in his Ferrari, which he denied. He served probation in a criminal plea deal after egging a neighbour's house. He was also filmed urinating in a restaurant mop bucket while shouting: "Fuck Bill Clinton." Bieber is said to have apologised privately to Clinton.

In his Instagram post, Bieber admitted to "doing pretty heavy drugs at 19 and [abusing] all of my relationships". Bieber wrote that he "became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry. I became distant to everyone who loved me and I was hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become."

Now 25, Bieber credited the support of friends, his Christian faith and his marriage with helping to turn his life around. He married model Hailey Baldwin in 2018. Marriage, he said, has taught him "patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility and all of the things it looks like to be a good man".

In 2017, Bieber took a break from the music industry, cancelling the final 14 dates of a world tour, saying: "I want my mind, heart and soul to be sustainable." He recently sang on Ed Sheeran's single I Don't Care and a remix of Bad Guy by Billie Eilish.

If you're wondering why Justin Bieber is so shady, look no further than his father. The singer's daddy issues likely played a role in his bad behavior throughout the years, because Jeremy Bieber isn't exactly a shining example for anyone.

A violent history

In 2002, boxing and martial arts enthusiast Jeremy Bieber allegedly assaulted an 18-year-old girl, breaking her jaw. The Daily Mail reports that a drunken Bieber roundhouse-kicked Alicia Wadden, a 5'3", 100-pound girl. Wadden claims that Bieber told her to lift her shirt at a bar. When she refused and swatted him away, he delivered a kung-fu kick to her jaw, breaking it in two places, chipping several teeth, and forcing her to eat pureed food for months. Wadden told The Daily Mail that she was so scared of Bieber that she feared the repercussions if she pressed charges, but Ontario police encouraged her to file an official report on the incident. However, Wadden claims that the day before the case was slated to go to court, Bieber showed up at her boyfriend's job and gave him $1,000 cash, along with a warning for Wadden to not testify. Wadden explained, "I wasn't going to go to court anyway because I was too scared, so the money was just a bonus...He went to court the next day, but when I didn't turn up the case was dismissed. I know I should have pressed charges, but I was only 18. I was naive and scared and just wanted to try to pretend it never happened."

This wasn't Jeremy Bieber's only incident of violence, which is likely why he encouraged Wadden not to testify. In 1997, he was convicted of assault and sentenced to 90 days in prison. In 2004, he was charged with assault but had the case dismissed (that sounds familiar). The Daily Mail also reports that since certain criminal records can be expunged after a period of time, there may be even more ugly truths we don't know about anymore.

His romantic life

Jeremy Bieber has three children from his previous relationships. He had Justin with Pattie Mallette. He also had Jaxon and Jazmyn with his ex-wife, Erin Wagner. He left Mallette when Justin was 13 months old, leaving her to raise him as a single mom and forcing her to rely on food banks to feed her and their son. He's now engaged to 28-year-old Chelsey Rebelo. He's 41. It could be worse, but pretty much every woman involved with Jeremy Bieber could do better.

Alleged animal abuse

TMZ reports that Justin purchased this adorable bulldog puppy named Karma for his father in 2013. Karma needed training, which Jeremy never bothered getting him. Fast forward a year later: Jeremy saw the dog allegedly bite his son Jaxon. Instead of responding reasonably, Jeremy allegedly hurled the dog out of a second-story window into a snowbank. He left the dog with trainer Trevor Dvernichuk and told him to keep Karma until he was properly socialized...and never came back for the dog ever again. Dvernichuk told sources that Jeremy abandoned the dog, which he denied, "pitching a fit," and threatening a lawsuit. Dvernichuk told TMZ that while he's concerned for the dog's welfare, he's willing to turn Karma over to avoid legal drama.

He's a slob

TMZ reports that Justin paid rent for an apartment Jeremy had in Kitchener, Canada, from 2011 to 2012. Jeremy likely also needed Justin's help when he was charged with over $12,000 worth of damage done to the place in 2014. Court records say tiles were destroyed, plumbing was wrecked after someone flushed a hairbrush down a toilet (dude, seriously?), and there was pet waste pretty much covering and staining all of the floors.

Mooching off the superstar son he abandoned

The Daily Mail reports that Jeremy has never held down a real job, instead living in an $850,000 house that Justin purchased for him. Justin also allegedly pays Jeremy's apartment rent so that he'll never have to work in the city. To be fair, with a rap sheet like his, it's not too surprising that employers would run for the hills.

His sad relationship with Justin

Remember when nude photos of Justin hit the Internet and tabloids in October 2015? Don't lie, of course you do. So does Jeremy, because he was a bit too proud of his boy, tweeting, "What do you feed that thing?" in response to the photos. Justin defended his papa, telling the Zach Sang & The Gang radio show, "What dad wouldn't be proud of that? It's not like he's saying it to an 11-year-old. I'm 21 years old." Fair enough, but still gross.

Their weird relationship extends to Justin's bad boy behavior, which Jeremy likely enables. NBC News reports that during the 2014 Super Bowl weekend, Jeremy and Justin allegedly smoked so much marijuana on a private plane that the crew needed oxygen masks. An official report of the incident states, "The captain of the flight stated that he warned the passengers, including Bieber, on several occasions to stop smoking marijuana. The flight attendant stated the passengers, including Bieber and his father, Jeremy Bieber, were extremely abusive verbally and she would not work another flight with them."

Maybe he's making up for lost time since Justin's mom, Pattie Mallette, reportedly wouldn't allow Jeremy to visit Justin as a kid unless he was clean from booze and drugs. The apple really doesn't fall far from the degenerate tree here, does it?

Justin wrote this song 'Turn to You' for his mother on Mother's Day. The lyrics discuss Pattie's situation when she was bringing Justin up: "You worked two jobs, to keep a roof up over our heads, you chose life for me, no you never gave up I admire you for the strength you've instilled in me." It is clear how appreciative Justin is of his mum and how close their relationship is. As he found fame so early, his mother would have been in control of many of his decisions and money as he wasn't of legal age, most likely keeping him grounded whilst in such a harsh industry.

Justin Bieber says he cries in public because he is 'emotional' adding critics don't allow him to be 'human and shed tears'

Justin Bieber is an 'emotional' person but sometimes feels as though he 'doesn't have permission' to be upset in the public eye.

The Never Say Never hitmaker's fans were concerned about him in 2018 when photos emerged of the star in tears, but he has recalled just feeling emotional that day.

'I'm just being a normal person and crying,' the husband of Hailey Baldwin, now Bieber, said.

'When I'm in the media and I look at things on the internet and people are like, "Justin's upset, why is he upset?" It's like, they don't give me permission to be upset. I don't have permission to be, you know, human and shed tears.

'There's so many people every day who are in a conversation with their girl or their wife or their mom and they break down, you know?

'But they don't have cameras capturing it. So people are like, "Is he OK, is he having a mental breakdown?" And I'm just emotional ... and that's OK.'

Justin also admits he does feel 'overwhelmed' and 'frustrated' at times.

Referring to another occasion in 2018 when he looked emotional during a day out with his wife Hailey, he said: 'I remember just struggling.

'I remember feeling, like, emotionally, just overwhelmed and talking to her, not knowing how to communicate certain things and just feeling kind of, like, frustrated.

'You know, there's been a lot of things that have happened in my life and, um, I think this was a point in my life where I was just like, so overwhelmed.'

Hailey insists it is 'part of life' for anyone to have 'good days and bad days'.

Speaking on the singer's YouTube Originals series 'Justin Bieber: Seasons', she said: 'There's always going to be good days and bad days, if you work a nine to five job or if you're Justin.

'It doesn't really matter who you are, everybody's going to have days where they feel crappy and they don't feel like pushing through that day but it's part of life.'

Justin's comments come after Hailey recently admitted she feels 'pressure to keep up a perfect lifestyle'.

She said: 'I admire people coming forward and talking about anxiety. We all struggle with it. I think there's been this stigma around it for so long.

'People look at celebrities who are famous or successful and think they have it all together. Like, they have such an insane career, or they make so much money, that they should be happy. But it's really kind of the opposite.

'There was a time in the industry when it was negative to talk about that kind of stuff. Nobody wanted to talk about what was really happening, and everybody felt like there was this pressure to keep up a facade - or pressure to keep up this perfect lifestyle and make everything look really good from the outside.

'[Everyone would say,] "Oh, we're really happy. I'm really happy. I'm doing fine," when really it was like you're kind of crumbling on the inside.'

There is a large emphasis of Justin Bieber being a humble and down to earth artist as he almost 'accidentally' found fame when he was discovered on Youtube at age 12 by Scooter Braun. It was stated that his mum controlled his YouTube account, Kidrauhl, and uploaded covers to share with friends and family, not expecting his videos to blow up as much as they did. Justin portrays a 'regular' star image through his personal background: being brought up by a single parent, attending a regular state school and suffering with money problems. It could be argued Justin fits the star image of 'rags to riches' coming from nothing and now being one of the most successful artists in the world, as well as the underdog, since he landed his fame and fortune so unexpectedly.

Justin Bieber, who rose to fame in 2009 through Youtube, is one of the worlds best selling music artists. Although he also has taken part in acting and other work, music is predominantly his main career. Justin's genre of music has changed over time, beginning with teen pop and as both him and his fans have grown up, changed to more RnB and EDM sounds. Justin has grown up under a media microscope, leading to both positive and negative reactions, which has taken a toll on his mental health over the past few years.
