Things have taken a wild turn for Justin Bieber, the pop star who’s often caught in the crossfire of public scrutiny. Just as his wife, Hailey Bieber, got her big moment on the cover of Vogue, Justin decided to drop some less-than-flattering news about their relationship on Instagram. In an ill-timed post, he revealed a past argument where he told her she’d “never” grace the cover, and surprise, surprise—it didn’t go over well.
After facing a backlash from fans over his not-so-supportive comments, Justin quickly edited his caption to a series of emojis that expressed little more than a shrug. You’d think he would have learned that “less is more” applies to social media, especially when your wife is trying to shine. While he might have thought he was just keeping it real, he ended up putting Hailey’s moment in the shadow of his own drama and setting the gossip mill spinning.
Meanwhile, Hailey has remained surprisingly quiet amidst all this social media chaos, choosing not to engage with the online storm. In her recently released Vogue profile, she tried to quash split rumors and emphasize the strength of their marriage. Can’t blame her for wanting to focus on the positive rather than wade through the sea of comments asking if her husband is a little too self-centered.
