‘More tired and more angry’: Justin Bieber reveals he can’t be ‘fixed,’ worries fans with admission he is ‘broken’

Justin Bieber fans are concerned after the pop star posted a candid and emotionally intense message on Instagram on June 16.

The post, set against a bold purple background with white text, garnered over 250,000 likes and thousands of comments in hours.

“People keep telling me to heal”

Bieber wrote in part in the message, “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues… And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry.”

He concluded by acknowledging his Christian faith, saying, “Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others.” He confessed he’s “exhausted with thinking about myself lately.


Bieber’s alarming behavior in public

Bieber’s Instagram post follows a tense confrontation with paparazzi outside Malibu’s Soho House, during which Bieber reportedly shouted and held up his arm while declaring, “I’m a real man with a real family,” according to Page Six.

According to reports, the confrontation lasted 11 minutes, and Bieber grew visibly upset. Bieber doesn’t specifically mention the fight on Instagram, but does say he’s “broken” and having “anger issues.”


Recent controversies: cult affiliation an more

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Bieber drew scrutiny due to a series of cryptic mirror selfies, some showing a knee brace, fueling speculation about his substance use and well-being.

Additionally, reports have surfaced alleging Bieber’s involvement with a “cult-like” religious group. According to reports, he has aligned with Churchome, a megachurch led by Pastor Judah Smith—with insiders claiming friends like Ryan Good left due to cult concerns

These rumors echo earlier claims by Post Malone about Bieber donating millions to what they called a cult-like Hillsong organization.

Though Bieber has not publicly responded to these accusations, his deepening public display of faith has only intensified them.


Father’s Day juxtaposition

Just one day before this emotionally charged message, Bieber shared heartfelt Father’s Day tributes featuring nostalgic photos with his dad, Jeremy, accompanied by warm captions. This stark tonal shift—from celebratory posts to raw vulnerability—has only heightened fans’ perplexity and concern.


“Go to therapy”

Commenters on Bieber’s post reflected a mix of empathy, frustration, and worry. Messages ranged from urging him to “literally go to therapy—you definitely can afford it” to gentle calls for self-care. The outpouring shows fans are watching closely as he navigates public life with increasing emotional candor.

Between paparazzi altercations, cryptic social media behavior, rumors of cult involvement, and deep spiritual reflections, Bieber appears to be in the midst of a highly tumultuous emotional phase.

Bieber is wrestling with significant internal pressures. His openness is admirable but also worrisome, and his fans are urging him to seek help, find balance, and stay grounded. Stay tuned as this story evolves—and if you or anyone you know is struggling, remember that help is available.
