Justin Bieber found himself at the center of fresh backlash this Mother's Day after posting (and quickly deleting) an Instagram note that read, 'Love you, moms, but Mother's Day sucks a**.' Fans were already watching closely since it was wife Hailey Bieber's first Mother's Day after the couple welcomed their son last year. Needless to say, the pop star once again managed to grab eyeballs.
Reddit slams Justin Bieber over 'Mother's Day sucks' note
The screenshot of Justin Bieber's note ended up on Reddit's r/popculturechat under the title 'Justin Bieber, father of 1, says Mother's Day sucks.' This sparked a wave of criticism against the Baby singer, with one user writing, 'Saying this on Hailey's first ever Mother's Day is just insane and wildly disrespectful. I'm not even a fan of hers, but she truly deserves better.'
Several commenters pointed out a recurring theme in how fans often target the women in Bieber's life—when really, the issue might be him. 'People have been directing their hate to either Hailey or Selena, without actually looking at the guy who caused it all — Justin,' one user noted.
Another Redditor added, 'He always has something to say. Whether it's about girls who show off their engagement rings or celebrating Mother's Day... just don't post anything.'
'He's acting like a POS, and there might be reasons for it, but that shouldn't be used as a shield to criticism or a blanket excuse,' one person posted.
Hailey unintentionally sparks breakup
In one of the most unexpected responses, a user shared that Hailey actually inspired her to ditch her unsupportive boyfriend: 'I saw how embarrassing it was to stay with a man who openly doesn't support you, so I said to myself, 'Do I want to be this??? No.' Now I'm single. Thank you, Hailey.' Check out more comments in the Reddit thread below:
