Pop superstar Justin Bieber has once again sent shockwaves through his massive fanbase, this time with a series of sweaty "detox" selfies shared on Instagram.
The close-up images, featuring a flushed and perspiring Bieber with a towel draped over him, were cryptically captioned "Detoxxxxxxxxxxx," leaving many to question the true state of his health and mental well-being.
The photos, posted on Sunday, July 7, come amidst a turbulent period for the 31-year-old singer. For months, whispers of drug use, erratic behavior, and even marital strife with wife Hailey Bieber have plagued the couple.
While a representative for Bieber strongly denied drug-related rumors in February, stating they were "completely unfounded and the repeated malicious narratives are very regrettable," the latest detox snaps have reignited these concerns.
Fans quickly flooded the comments section with a mix of support and alarm. Messages like "We all wish for your health" and "Please be happy and healthy" showed genuine care, but many also expressed profound worry.
Some followers urged Bieber to "stay healthy and happy," while others openly questioned if he was "seriously struggling" and if those around him were adequately supporting him.
Comparisons to other pop stars who have publicly battled personal demons, such as Britney Spears and Liam Payne, have also surfaced, with some fans begging the singer to "get help" before it's "too late."
The timing of the "detox" photos is particularly noteworthy, following an Instagram upload just hours earlier where Bieber shared PDA-packed images with Hailey, calling her his "forever n always."
This public display of affection appeared to be a direct attempt to quell rampant breakup rumors, which Hailey herself addressed in a recent Vogue interview.
However, Justin's subsequent "detox" post overshadowed this effort, leading some to suggest that these selfies are an attempt to dispel ongoing speculation about his health.
Reports from sources close to the couple indicate that Hailey is "exhausted and really needs Justin to pull himself together, particularly now that he's a father."
The 28-year-old model reportedly desires a "stable, normal life" and is said to be "reaching her breaking point" amidst the constant family issues and Justin's emotional volatility.
Recent reports even suggested that Hailey is largely taking the lead in raising their 10-month-old son, Jack Blues, while Justin has been "a hard person to deal with recently" and "hasn't been down like this in quite some time."
Despite his agency's claims that he is undergoing his own "reorganization" and distancing himself from certain relationships, Bieber's public image remains unstable for some.
Instances of him smoking marijuana and reports of financial troubles continue to surface, adding to the public's apprehension.
