Justin Bieber’s once‑cherished public presence has turned increasingly erratic, with cryptic social media outbursts — like a rant on “transactional relationships” and a defiant beach video — sparking growing concern over his mental well‑being. Adding fuel to the fire, Hailey Bieber has recently been spotted in New York without her wedding ring, subtly igniting divorce rumors. The tension hit a boiling point on Father’s Day, when Justin shared a bold, profanity‑tinged tribute (“I’m a dad that’s not to be f***ed with”) — only for Hailey to comment sharply, “Father’s Day sucks a**,” echoing his earlier snub on Mother’s Day. So, what’s going on with Justin? David Drew Pinsky, better known as addiction specialist “Dr. Drew,” weighed in.

Dr. Drew thinks Justin Bieber’s recent outbursts could have to do with his relationship with Hailey Bieber

Media personality Dr. Drew commented on Justin Bieber’s recent online activity. While speaking to TMZ, Drew noted that he had no idea about Justin’s personal life. However, he suspects Justin and Hailey Bieber may be going through relationship difficulties.

“I would tell people to leave him alone, calm down,” Drew told the publication. “We actually have no idea what’s going on. He has talked over the years about sort of having depression and maybe some substance use — I don’t know. He’s not ever gotten out of control, to my knowledge. Or maybe he has; I don’t know. I have faith he’ll get some help.”

“I have a feeling there’s something going on here personally, like in his romantic life, that may really be making — it’s fueling it and making it hard for him to really get the care he needs to take care of himself,” Drew added. “He’s not happy with something, and he needs some help. So, I’m sure he’ll find this — at least, fingers crossed.”

Drew said Justin’s mother typically aids him during his times of need. “His family, his mom, has been deeply involved in his life for a long time,” the doctor continued. “She’s usually the one that kind of pulls him toward some help. At least when he was a lot younger, she used to do that.”

So, could the addition of Justin and Hailey’s son be causing trouble for the couple?

“Children never make things easier,” Drew added. “And if something’s going on between the two of them, the stakes are so much higher, because you worry about the impact on the child.”
