Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are pushing back against the wave of criticism following a viral moment at Coachella 2025, where the pop star was seen smoking next to his younger brother. The couple is reportedly exhausted by the public’s constant over-analysis of their actions.
According to a source who spoke with People magazine, the couple simply wanted to enjoy a fun weekend with family — but fans turned it into a controversy.
“Justin is having fun, vibing out — and yes, he smokes weed like a lot of people. But everything he does is being weaponized against him,” the insider said.
Viral Coachella Clip Sparks Online Debate
During the second weekend of Coachella, videos of Justin lighting what appeared to be a marijuana joint near his 15-year-old brother, Jaxon Bieber, began circulating online. Some fans also believed they saw Hailey Bieber stepping in to calm the situation.
The source defended the scene, pointing out that no harm was done and that the moment was blown out of proportion.
“It’s not like his son Jack is at these events. Jaxon is a teenager,” the insider clarified. “They’re just tired of people turning everything into something bad.”
The Biebers attended the event with close family, including Justin’s younger siblings and their father, hoping for a relaxed weekend away from the spotlight.
Hailey Bieber Shuts Down Divorce Rumors
Amid the online backlash, speculation surfaced suggesting trouble in the couple’s marriage. However, the source strongly denied any marital issues, emphasizing that Hailey is standing by Justin.
“Hailey is not on the verge of divorce or leaving him — that’s just completely false. If anything, she’s hurt by how harsh people are being now that Justin is finally opening up again.”
Fans have long followed the couple’s relationship, and while they’ve faced ups and downs in the public eye, their bond remains solid.
