Justin Bieber's friends fear he's 'losing touch with reality' and urge him to 'stop acting like teenager'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber's recent behavior has raised concerns among those close to him, with friends urging the pop star to get his life back on track and start acting his age. 

The worry comes after a viral video surfaced online showing Bieber rapping on a private jet with a friend, his eyes glazed as he slapped his leg and rapped into the camera. 

Fans were left stunned by the unsettling footage, sparking concerns over his health and mental state.

Justin Bieber has lost touch with reality, reveals insider

Two well-placed insiders, including a business advisor and a personal advisor, expressed their concerns to The US Sun about Justin Bieber's recent behavior, fearing he is "acting like a teenager" and "losing touch with reality."

One source noted, "It's concerning. He is 30 years old now; he’s an adult and should be taking better care of himself. He knows everyone scrutinizes him." These worries have grown following Bieber’s recent behavior and appearance, which have sparked rumors about his health and marriage, especially after he and his wife Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child.

The insider also shared that the past 12 months have been particularly complicated for Justin Bieber, citing excessive partying and a lack of focus on his diet and overall well-being. This comes after the singer was spotted in Hollywood with comedian Dave Chappelle, appearing noticeably thinner.

The source remarked, "For a guy who used to work out and eat healthy, it’s strange to see him like this." They added, "I’m not the only one telling him that he doesn’t look great—not for his fans, not for the public. His image as a dad isn’t great; he looks like he’s aged 10 years."

The insider further expressed that Justin's "rebellious teenager" behavior is "extremely frustrating" for those who continue to support him.

The source added, "He has to get his s**t together and return to the inspirational figure he was before. He needs to be on his A-game."

The first confidant concluded, "Justin needs time off, in my opinion. He should focus on simple things and cut out the immature behavior."

Justin Bieber's friend pushes back against harmful criticism against singer

Amid reports raising concerns about Justin Bieber's mental and physical well-being, his representatives have strongly pushed back against the criticism.

Sources confirmed that Justin has ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer align with his goals.

Additionally, the launch of his Skylrk fashion brand has once again been delayed. Bieber's team emphasized that he is fully committed to supporting his wife Hailey and their son, while also criticizing the ongoing "negative, salacious, and harmful narratives" surrounding him. They stressed that he is focused on his well-being and creative endeavors.

However, a second source described a recent video of Bieber on a plane as "pathetic," urging him to snap out of this "weird period."

A fitness expert who has worked with Bieber in the past expressed frustration, saying, "I am so fed up with seeing him eating chips, drinking sodas, and eating burgers all the time."

The expert added, "That isn’t good for you at all, and it creates a negative cycle when you keep doing it."

Despite the concerns, Bieber’s friend reminded everyone of his immense success, noting that he has sold over 150 million records worldwide and his songs have been streamed an astounding 32 billion times.
