Justin Bieber and Hailey Dance Off Divorce Rumors at Martin Garrix's LA Show, Don't Miss Singer's Sweet Act for Wife

Pink Villaa day ago
Justin and Hailey Bieber are putting breakup rumors to rest, at least for now. The couple was seen dancing closely at Martin Garrix's concert at L.A. State Historic Park on Sunday night, looking happy and carefree despite weeks of speculation about their marriage.
A fan-shot TikTok video, which quickly went viral, shows Justin and Hailey in what appears to be a VIP area. Justin ditched his shirt and wrapped his arm around Hailey while she smiled and danced to the beat. Many fans say the clip is proof they're still very much together.

The sighting comes after rumors that the couple might be heading for a split. Justin recently reposted a video of a man joking about giving a 'b*tch' the silent treatment. 'B**h, if you giving me a silent treatment, at least tell me why! I have anxiety and I have overthinking,' the man says in the clip. 'Left and right, they go hand in hand. If you give me any room for error, there will be error! Now you cheated!'
Some fans thought Justin Bieber was hinting at problems with Hailey. Adding fuel to the fire, Dr. Drew told TMZ that one of Justin's recent outbursts made him think there was 'definitely trouble bubbling behind the scenes,' as per TMZ.

Hailey was also seen walking around New York City without her wedding ring, sparking even more rumors that their marriage was on the rocks. Pictures showing Hailey without her ring have circulated widely on social media, adding to the speculation.
Despite this, the couple's appearance at Martin Garrix's show seemed to tell a different story. Both looked relaxed and in sync, dancing and laughing together as fans watched, as per TMZ.
Justin and Hailey Bieber have faced split rumors before. The celebrity couple has often dealt with stories about trouble in paradise. Photos or videos that show them arguing or appearing distant quickly make headlines, feeding more gossip about their relationship.
This latest concert video might calm some of that noise, at least for now. After all, actions speak louder than social media posts.
As of now, Justin and Hailey haven't directly addressed the breakup rumors. For now, fans can only judge by what they see, and at Martin Garrix's show, the Biebers looked more united than divided.

‘Porta-Potty' Parties: How Women Are Lured Into Degrading Sex Acts In Dubai's Elite Circles

Last Updated: "Porta-Potty" parties in Dubai: Colombian influencer Laura Sánchez warns young women on TikTok to beware of 'luxury offers' hiding abuse and exploitation in Dubai. Several influencers, models and women who frequent the same spaces of a certain section of Dubai's ultra-rich have come forward online to speak up about the abuse they faced in 'Porta-Potty' parties. These 'Porta-Potty' parties are parties where the city's ultra-rich lure in and bring models, female actors, fitness influencers and beautiful women and force them to perform degrading sex acts. The term 'porta-potty" originally refers to a portable toilet, the kind seen at construction sites, festivals or outdoor events. It's a self-contained, movable toilet unit that doesn't require plumbing. However, in the context of 'Porta-Potty parties", the term has taken on a dark, euphemistic meaning. It originates from online exposés about wealthy men, especially in places like Dubai, allegedly paying young models or influencers large sums of money to attend private parties where they are made to perform extreme acts involving bodily fluids, especially feces (hence the link to a 'portable toilet"). A blogpost by the organisation DetainedInDubai cited model Saint Mullan's video where she said she was approached by a man inviting her to a yacht party in Dubai. She further narrates in the video that she was offered £16,000 to fly to Dubai to allegedly fulfil a prince's bizarre fetishes, which included urinating on her. The content creator and fitness trainer told The Mirror that she never intended to travel to Dubai, but continued the conversation out of curiosity in a bid to see how far the man would go. In screenshots she shared, the unidentified individual claimed a 'prince" was hosting a private yacht party and had personally invited her, saying the prince 'loves beautiful women" and found her 'very attractive." The prince, reportedly worth £321 million, was allegedly willing to pay her £16,000 to join him and a friend, offering a sum that amounts to less than one percent of his net worth. The reports regarding these parties have been making rounds on social media since 2022. Ghanaian news aggregator @SIKAOFFICIAL1 in 2022 posted a viral thread which cited a Reddit post where an anonymous person said that she was raped, forced into degrading sex acts where she was forced to have sex with a dog, where older men rubbed her face on their feet, urinated and excreted on her. Women lured to these parties could end up facing criminal charges, even if they were brought in against their will. Radha Stirling, who heads Detained in Dubai, warned that the presence of married men could expose them to cases of adultery or indecency. 'Sex outside marriage may technically be legal now in Dubai," Stirling said, 'but organisers are twisting that reality. These women think they're going to a private party, instead, they're thrown into violent, humiliating situations with serious legal risk hanging over them". La modelo colombiana Laura Sánchez denunció en TikTok ofertas laborales engañosas en Dubái, advirtiendo sobre las llamadas 'Dubai Porta Potty Parties", que presentan lujos pero esconden abusos y situaciones degradantes. Alertó especialmente a modelos, influencers y jóvenes. — Bmor (@bmormedellin) May 19, 2025 Colombian model Laura Sánchez has warned young women to steer clear of shady job offers in Dubai, calling out the so-called 'Porta Potty Parties" in a viral TikTok. Behind promises of luxury, she said, lie abusive and degrading situations. Her message was aimed especially at models, influencers and young people chasing quick fame or money. Model Beaten Left For Dead Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, was reportedly left for dead after attending one of Dubai's infamous 'Porta-Potty" parties. She disappeared after telling her mother she'd been invited to spend the night with two men posing as modelling agents. She never boarded her flight to Thailand. Ten days later, on March 19, Maria was found dumped on the side of a Dubai road with a shattered spine, broken limbs and internal injuries. She has since undergone multiple surgeries and remains in recovery, while her family stays by her side demanding answers. Dubai Police confirmed she is receiving medical care but claimed Maria had entered a restricted construction site and fallen from a height. It was a version that many find hard to believe, given the secrecy surrounding these elite parties. Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who has tracked the case, alleged that Maria was left to die after being abused at one such party. She claimed Maria may have been forced into degrading sex acts involving human faeces, a theme allegedly central to these gatherings. Maria's mother told Ukrainian media that her daughter had no ID, phone or belongings when found. 'She's had three operations. She can't speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter says he never saw her. We're terrified of what really happened."

You've been listening to an AI band on Spotify without even realising it

It was probably only a matter of time before an AI-generated band picked up a big following on Spotify. The Velvet Sundown, a supposed indie rock group, now claims more than half a million monthly listeners, but look a little closer and things start to feel off. Their band photos are clearly AI-made, their bio is full of odd phrases, and there's no sign any of the members actually exist. Even their name feels like it was stitched together by a computer, borrowing from classic bands to sound familiar. What's really going on is less about music and more about technology. The Velvet Sundown's songs have landed on some popular playlists, like 'Vietnam War Music' and 'Good Mornings', which are followed by hundreds of thousands of users. Most listeners probably never searched for the band, the songs just played while people were after a bit of background music. It's a reminder that streaming numbers can be misleading, especially when algorithms and playlists are doing the heavy lifting. Is AI music the future? Spotify's system doesn't really care if a band is real or not. As long as a track fits the vibe of a playlist, it can rack up streams, and those monthly listener stats can climb quickly. The platform's 'Discovery' mode makes things even easier for unknown acts, letting them trade a slice of their royalties for more exposure in the algorithm. It's a set-up that makes it simple for AI-generated music to blend in with tracks from real artists, and for streaming metrics to look more impressive than they really are. The band's social media accounts have tried to push back against the AI rumours. 'This is not a joke,' the band's apparent X account wrote. 'This is our music, written in long, sweaty nights in a cramped bungalow in California with real instruments, real minds, and real soul.' They doubled down, insisting, 'Every chord, every lyric, every mistake — HUMAN.' In a follow-up, they added, 'Just because we don't do TikTok dances or livestream our process doesn't mean we're fake. The fact that some blog editors would rather pretend we're a bunch of machines than admit an unknown band is out here grinding & made something people enjoy is insulting.' But the evidence says otherwise. Their images, their online presence, even their lyrics and vocals, all have that too-perfect, generic feel that comes from machine learning tools. It's hard to shake the sense that the whole project is less about artistry and more about testing how far AI can go in gaming the system. For musicians, this is a tough pill to swallow. Real bands spend years building a following, playing gigs, and writing songs that mean something to them. Now, a few clicks and some clever playlist placements can give an AI act the appearance of success, even if no one actually knows or cares who they are. The Velvet Sundown story is a sign of where things are heading. As AI gets better at making music, and as streaming platforms keep focusing on numbers over substance, it's only going to get harder to tell what's real and what's not. For listeners, it means more background music that sounds just right but doesn't really say anything. For artists, it's another reminder that in the streaming age, popularity can be manufactured, but meaning still comes from the human touch. First Published Date: 02 Jul, 16:54 IST
