Justin Bieber is facing backlash from fans who are concerned about his treatment of his son, Jack, and other questionable content he's posted while on a rural getaway.
Was Justin Bieber Smoking with Baby Jack in the Room?
The Peaches singer shared a new set of photos on his Instagram grid of what happened on his recent getaway. Among these pictures is his son, Jack, tagging along on his trip. But one particular photo caught his fans' attention.
In one photo, Justin was resting on the couch in his shorts beside a friend he was smoking with. In the next photo, we see his baby Jack lying right beside him, where he and his friend were hanging out.
This brought fans to his comment section, calling out his behavior as Jack's father.
"Don't smoke in front of your kid," one fan said, while another worriedly commented, "I hope that baby wasn't exposed to marijuana smoke..."
"Dude, there is no way you have that baby around that smoke... be better like we know you can be," another chimed in, as another listed potential harmful effects that Jack might experience if Justin doesn't address his vices.
"Children are particularly vulnerable to health problems from exposure to smoke, including both cigarette and marijuana (pot) smoke," they commented, detailing it could increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other respiratory infections.
They added, "Even smoke that lingers on clothes or furniture (thirdhand smoke) can be harmful. So... maybe consider that. You're a parent now. Act like one."
However, other fans were quick to defend that the arrangement of the photo selection may have led to misunderstandings.
"Jack isn't even pictured in the photos where he's smoking. He didn't smoke in front of Jack," one said, while another agreed, "These judgmental comments are not the vibe."
How Has Justin Bieber Been Dealing with Fatherhood?
Justin and Hailey tied the knot in 2018, after two years of dating. Hailey then gave birth to their first child, Jack Blues, on August 23, 2024.
Having shared a couple of their first-time parents' moments, a source exclusively told Us Weekly on May 20 that Justin has been focusing on the people and projects in his life that matter most to him, namely, Hailey and Jack.
"Hailey tries to be there for him as much as she can," the source disclosed, adding how much she had been patient, accommodating, and supportive, which Justin reportedly feels grateful for, "They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months."
As for Justin's reaction to fatherhood, the same source claimed fatherhood was quite "an adjustment" for the Baby singer, as the new role led to major changes in his life, while he deals with financial and personal issues, per his recent posts.
"When his son was born, everyone was hoping that would be a positive influence for him," a second insider added, "It's what's made him really want to heal and reflect on everything."
