Justin Bieber’s recent appearance in New York City has raised concerns about his well-being, with insiders attributing his struggles to a deep-seated fear of public spaces. He also reacted to Hailey shutting down a rumor.
The 30-year-old singer looked uncomfortable while out in Manhattan, wearing a baggy yellow hoodie and loose beige trousers. Sources say Bieber has become “borderline reclusive,” avoiding large crowds and social situations after years in the spotlight. His anxiety has reportedly kept him from touring and has put a strain on his marriage to Hailey Bieber, who has been trying to encourage him to overcome his fears.
Hailey recently took him on a trip to Aspen with close friends in an effort to ease him back into public life. However, Bieber’s immense fame and wealth have allowed him to stay home for extended periods, which has only reinforced his isolation. Insiders suggest that his reclusive behavior is also tied to his new role as a father, as he enjoys spending time at home with his son, Jack, born in August.
Fans have grown increasingly worried, especially after Bieber was seen looking visibly stressed following the arrest of his former mentor, Diddy. His recent social media activity has also fueled speculation about personal struggles—he unfollowed several notable figures, including Usher and his former manager Scooter Braun, and briefly unfollowed Hailey before claiming his account was hacked.
Many fans believe Bieber is in “self-destruct” mode, expressing concern over his mental and physical state. Over the years, Bieber has been open about his struggles with fame, admitting that it nearly “destroyed” him. His battle with public life has been ongoing, and despite showing interest in making new music, sources say touring remains a challenge for him.
