Justin Bieber Denies Marital Drama, Blames Instagram Hack for 'Suss' Activity
It seems Justin Bieber was the latest celebrity to get hacked on social media.
This week, fans noticed that the pop star unfollowed his wife, Hailey Bieber, on Instagram—but Justin has set the record straight.
“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram Story on Tuesday, Jan. 21. “S--t is getting suss out here.”
Justin has since re-followed Hailey, whom he called the "greatest woman I have and will ever know" in an Instagram Story on Jan. 18, according to E! News.
Before Justin's explanation, fans on X debated whether the unfollowing was accidental or some kind of stunt.
"I believe that is something related to the new album," one person speculated.
"Don't think so justin never was one to use dramas for clout," a second fan argued, with another agreeing, "That's true."
"How do u accidentally search your wife's page and press unfollow even in the list scrolling how can u," somebody else wanted to know.
"I've done it multiple times actually mostly on the for you page," an additional commenter pointed out.

This isn't the first time the Biebers have been forced to address divorce rumors. In March 2024, Hailey spoke out against gossip about her marriage in an Instagram Story, as People reported.
“Just FYI the stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on TikTok are 100% of the time wrong Made out of thin air… Come from the land of delusion…” she wrote. “So I know it may be fun feeding into these stories but just know they’re always false xx sorry to spoil it.”
Justin, 30, and Hailey, 28, tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in New York City in 2018, with a larger celebration in South Carolina a year later. Their son, Jack Blues, was born in August 2024.
