Justin Bieber’s world seems to be shrinking fast, and it’s sparking serious fear among his fans – and even his closest friends.
Over the past few weeks, the pop icon has been showing signs that something’s off, and it’s not just the internet speculating. Sources say Justin has become “completely isolated”- and” at the center of it all is his pastor, Judah Smith.
People close to Bieber claim that his longtime friends and even some team members have been quietly pushed out. According to Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, Bieber is now surrounded by “yes-men and Judah. That’s it.” This shift has been happening gradually, with Smith’s influence growing over the years. At first, he was just a pastor and spiritual mentor – now, he’s attending private events, joining Bieber on trips, and even sitting in on meetings for Justin’s Drew House fashion label. That move raised a lot of eyebrows, especially because Smith was never part of the fashion world to begin with. “He’s a preacher, not a creative director. What’s he doing in those meetings?” one source asked, clearly frustrated by how involved Smith has become.
All of this comes at a time when Justin’s behavior is raising alarms. Fans started getting seriously worried after his ex, Selena Gomez, got engaged and Diddy was arrested – two headlines that reportedly hit Bieber hard. Then came the videos: shaky social media clips of the singer acting “disturbing” and “concerning” at public events, including a widely discussed incident at Coachella.
In one viral clip, Justin was seen taking hits from a blunt with his 15-year-old brother Jaxon nearby. Hailey Bieber noticed what was going on and quickly stepped in, putting her hands on Jaxon’s shoulders and guiding him away. Fans were outraged. “This is so scary,” one person commented. Another wrote, “I kinda feel bad for her because she had to take Justin’s little brother out of there.” Someone else just called it “embarrassing.”
And it didn’t stop there. The video showed Bieber vibing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” but the internet wasn’t feeling the party energy. People filled the comments with worry, comparing him to Aaron Carter, who died tragically young after years of erratic behavior. “Justin is crashing out like Aaron Carter did,” one fan warned. “Everyone needs to pray for this young man.”
The fan reactions have gone from mild concern to full-blown panic. “He is not okay,” one wrote. “Poor Justin Bieber.” Another said, “I don’t think Bieber is with us anymore.” Some comments were heartbreaking: “I seriously worry about Justin. He is a good soul. He’s been through so much. He was so wronged at such a young age. My heart hurts for him. Heavenly Father, please keep your angels around Justin Bieber and protect him.”
Backstage, people closest to Justin are sounding the alarm, and the common thread seems to be Judah Smith’s growing control. “Judah took over,” the insider said. “And the rest of them were slowly pushed out.” The protective wall now surrounding Bieber feels more like a cage, and fans are desperately hoping someone breaks through before it’s too late.
Right now, it looks like Hailey is doing all she can to keep things stable, but even she seems to be in damage control mode. And if the current pattern continues, Justin’s inner circle might get even smaller- just when he needs real support the most.
