It’s no secret that Justin Bieber has been the focus of speculation and concerns over his appearance and supposed behavior.

If you’ve been online recently, you’ve probably noticed every move the “Love Yourself” singer makes has been linked to assumptions about his health or marriage to Hailey Bieber.

Despite Justin’s representatives shutting down all the rumors and conjecture about drug use, whether or not his actions are linked to a relationship from eight years ago, or if his wife has some diabolical, sinister plan uncovered by internet sleuths — the conversation keeps building with every Instagram story and paparazzi interaction from the 31-year-old popstar.

Now, Justin’s entered the conversation with another Instagram story that seemingly responds directly to all the negative attention he and Hailey received over the last few weeks, and he’s not mincing any words.

On April 24, Justin made his IG story into a post, explaining that the “feeling of guilt can be relieved” by receiving the message that “god forgives.”

“JESUS FORGIVES WHO THE CULTURE NEVER FORGIVES,” he wrote. “They treat me like ass out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and god forgave me, It helps me to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful.”

Justin acknowledged that when he’s honest, he, too, can be hurtful and mean. “My instinct is to be like damn I wouldn’t gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet but there’s other shit I do I’m not proud of That god is gracious with,” he wrote.

“Hurt people hurt people And honestly if I was u it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzyy,” Justin wrote, seemingly calling out the negative discourse.

“It’s really up for us and that’s understandable why people can’t stand it. I don’t blame em,” he finished. “Hailey and I are the Jones’s that are impossible to keep up with.”
