Justin Bieber has reached his limit when it comes to life under the constant surveillance of paparazzi lenses.
On Thursday, April 24, the Peaches artist, now 31, flipped the script—turning his phone toward the cluster of photographers lying in wait to catch a glimpse of him. The resulting video, posted to his Instagram, offered fans a rare look at what life looks like from his side of the flashbulbs.
As he exited a gate en route to a waiting vehicle, Bieber recorded the swarm of camera-wielding individuals, audibly remarking several times, “Look at these guys, man!” The scene was punctuated by bursts of camera flashes as voices murmured around him.
A voice in the clip pleaded, “Guys, can you back up please?” Moments later, one photographer asked pointedly, “You’re filming me?” Another voice interjected, “You guys done?” hinting at frustration over the relentless pursuit.
In the caption accompanying the post, Bieber made his stance plain: “This has to stop.”
The post arrives amidst a swirl of speculation surrounding the pop star’s mental well-being and his marriage to Hailey Bieber, 28. The couple has been under intensified scrutiny lately, with multiple appearances at Coachella and a string of emotionally raw social media posts drawing public concern.
A source close to the pair told PEOPLE that the couple is doing their best to drown out the external chaos. “Justin is chilling, enjoying himself. And yes, he smokes weed—just like a lot of people do. But now everything he does is being twisted and turned against him.”
In the midst of this spotlight, it’s clear Bieber is yearning for peace—a pause from the flash, a breath away from the noise.
Last weekend, Justin Bieber stirred a fresh wave of scrutiny after being caught on video at Coachella, appearing to smoke marijuana while standing beside his 15-year-old brother, Jaxon, amid the pulsing festival crowd. His 16-year-old sister, Jazmyn, was also present at the event, adding further fuel to public debate.
As whispers around the state of his marriage to Hailey Bieber gained volume, a close source moved to set the record straight. Despite circulating speculation, the insider told PEOPLE that Justin’s recent behavior wasn’t signaling marital collapse. Rather, they said, he’s simply stepping out and trying to embrace joy again—with Hailey right beside him.
“Hailey isn’t entertaining thoughts of divorce or walking away. That narrative is false,” the source affirmed. “If anything, she’s disheartened by how brutal the world is being toward him just as he’s slowly emerging from a period of withdrawal.”
Yet, a second voice—one closer to Justin—offered a more sobering glimpse behind the curtain.
“She’s been crying over how he’s been acting,” the insider disclosed, referring to Hailey. “The situation spiraled fast. She’s honestly frightened that something serious could happen to him.”
Beneath the festival lights and filtered snapshots, it seems the couple continues to navigate a complicated, emotionally charged terrain—where moments of levity are shadowed by deeper worries.
In August 2024, the duo ushered their son, Jack Blues, into the world—a quiet milestone that shifted Hailey’s world entirely. According to an inside voice confiding in PEOPLE, her attention now orbits around one unwavering priority: cultivating a calm, grounded haven for their child.
“Hailey’s loyalty to Justin runs deep. She’s not walking out,” the source remarked. “But she’s carved out firm boundaries. Her mission is simple—raise Jack in a sanctuary of stability. She’s standing her ground on what she can no longer accept. Justin treasures her deeply. Together, they’ve braved storms that most couples never even see on the horizon.”
Justin, never one to mask his inner tumult, peeled back the layers in a candid Instagram Stories post. He addressed their marriage with brutal vulnerability, writing, “Hurt people hurt people,” and confessing that, when stripped of filters, he too can be “mean and hurtful.”
Speaking of their relationship, he mused, “We’re like an unsolvable riddle. No wonder people can’t wrap their heads around it.” He added, “I get it… Hailey and I are the Joneses no one can keep pace with.”
Just last month, the pop icon—whose last album Justice dropped in 2021—hinted at a new chapter: a fashion line dubbed Skylrk, teasing it quietly across his socials. But more striking was his soul-baring Instagram reflection dated March 13.
“All my life, folks told me, ‘Justin, you deserve it,’” he began. “But inside, I’ve always felt like I’m tricking the world. Like I’m masquerading. Those words don’t feel like they belong to me. If only they could see inside my mind.”
He continued, “The harsh judgments I make, the selfish instincts I fight… if they knew, they’d stop praising me.” His message wasn’t just confession—it was connection. “So if you feel like an imposter in your own life, welcome. I’m right there with you. Some days, I feel ill-prepared for all of it.”
Capping the post with raw self-awareness, Justin acknowledged his “anger issues” and voiced a quiet plea for growth—seeking not to explode, but to evolve.
This couple, for all their fame, is navigating storms just like anyone else—only theirs unfold under relentless light.
