A rep for Justin Bieber has responded to claims that he’s been using drugs amid speculation over his appearance at his wife Hailey’s Rhode skincare event.
Speaking to TMZ, the rep shut down any talk of hard drug use, calling it “absolutely not true.”
Bieber’s behaviour at the event raised eyebrows, leaving fans worried about his health.
In one viral video, Justin is seen grinning widely and shifting his weight from side to side while chatting with Refinery29 beauty director Sara Tan.
At one point, he even clutched his pants with both hands before leaning over to scratch the side of his leg.
Another video showed him staring blankly into the camera while posing for photos with Hailey, who stuck out her tongue to lick his cheek.
Fans flooded social media with concern, with one writing: "He seems not okay."
“This is actually sad," another commented.
A third fan added: “Bro, someone needs to save this man. He’s spiraling, and tbh, it doesn’t feel good watching it happen.”
Despite the speculation, Bieber’s team told TMZ that it’s been a “very transformative” year for him, explaining that he has “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
His rep called the rumours “exhausting and pitiful” and slammed people for “keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
Speculation about the singer has recently gone into overdrive, with every online interaction being scrutinised. There have been rumours on social media of a rift with Hailey, who he shares a six-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber.
"It's time to grow up," Bieber shared in a cryptic post on his Insta Story last week.
Set to the song 'Free Fallin'' by John Mayer, he added: "Changing is about letting go! Not trying harder! Are you tired of trying to follow all of the rules in hopes to get the results you crave? I've found love to be more powerful than rules."
While Bieber's team says there's nothing to worry about, unless he speaks out himself, we’ll just have to take their word for it.
