A former member of Justin Bieber’s inner circle has spoken out, revealing concerning details about the pop star’s current emotional state — describing him as feeling “lost” and surrounded by people who are afraid to step in and help.
According to the unnamed ex-team member, Bieber is struggling behind the scenes, with no one around him willing to step up out of fear he might lash out or cut them off.
“There’s no one really protecting Justin right now,” the insider told reporters. “People close to him are walking on eggshells — they’re afraid if they say the wrong thing, he’ll retaliate or push them away.”
The source didn’t go into detail about what exactly Bieber is going through, but mentioned a noticeable shift in his energy and public behavior. Recent photos of the singer looking emotional and withdrawn have only intensified fan concerns.
“Whatever he’s going through, I pray for him and hope he’s OK,” the source added. “He has such a good heart, but fame, pressure, and years in the spotlight have taken a toll.”
This comes just weeks after Bieber was seen getting visibly upset with paparazzi outside a studio in Los Angeles, sparking fresh conversations about the toll that public scrutiny and fame can take on young stars — especially those who, like Justin, have been in the spotlight since their early teens.
While neither Bieber nor his current representatives have responded to the claims, fans have flooded social media with messages of support using hashtags like #WeLoveYouJustin and #ProtectJustinBieber.
As the world watches closely, many are hoping the singer is getting the support he needs — and that those around him find the courage to speak up and offer guidance, even when it’s hard.
