Hailey and Justin Bieber were all smiles on Tuesday (Feb 19), as they celebrated the grand opening of her new Rhode pop-up store in Los Angeles.
While Hailey rocked a chic mini dress, Justin went full-on cozy mode wearing oversized clothes, a beanie, sunglasses, and some insanely chunky boots. Let’s be real—if you haven’t noticed Bieber’s recent style, his outfit is probably giving wild, especially next to his super-glam model wife. Even the facial hair switch-up caught fans’ attention—Bieber was clean-shaven, but left a very prominent mustache.
But Justin’s appearance wasn’t the only thing making waves—his behavior at the party had Beliebers talking. The popular couple appeared proud and happy at the event, but some fans found Justin’s behavior a little unusual, sparking speculation that something might be off.
Fans Think Justin is Acting Unusual
In one particular clip from the event, Justin appears hyped, as he communicates with a fan. The singer is then seen goofing around and swaying side to side, expressing a huge (and let’s admit, kinda frightening) smile.
Some X users assumed he was just having fun, while others were deeply concerned.
Justin Is Captured Leaving a Smoke-Filled Van
In yet another clip that has resurfaced from the night, Justin is seen confronting the paparazzi (which, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly shocking) as he exits his van. “Don’t get all up in my space and sh*t, y’all,” he yells as he leaves an obviously smoke-filled van. Rumors soon swirled that a certain smell was coming from the vehicle.
“Wait serious question r we just saying it’s crack or,” one fan replied to the viral video. While another said, “That’s obviously weed.”
One X user questioned, “is the baby inside the car?,” and another wrote, “He has a child he need to stop with this”
The Internet Debates Possible Triggers for Justin’s Behavior
On the one hand, it’s understandable why fans might be concerned—Justin has openly struggled with substance abuse in the past. In his documentary Justin Bieber: Seasons, he even admitted that his addiction got really serious as he dealt with several public controversies.
Some are even speculating whether a possible relapse could be linked to the ongoing media frenzy surrounding his connection to Diddy—his former mentor. Others think the pressure of becoming a dad might be weighing on him.
Some fans are majorly reaching, saying that Bieber has been struggling more since learning about his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez’s engagement to Benny Blanco.
Ofc, Bieber’s loyal fans have rushed to his defense, saying he’s just vibing and that people are totally overreacting.
Justin Isn’t Looking to Repeat His Past
Back in 2019, Justin and Hailey got real with Vogue about his past struggles with substance abuse. He revealed that he hasn’t touched hard drugs since his informal detox in 2014, sticking only to legal substances like alcohol in social settings.

Since then, he’s leaned heavily on his faith and his marriage to Hailey, who’s been his rock throughout his sobriety journey.
So, is the internet overreacting? Probably. At the end of the day, no one can actually know what’s going on based on a few photos and clips. But what we do know is that Justin seems happy, enjoying life with Hailey and little Jack Blues Bieber. So let’s just all take a chill pill, okay?
