Hailey Bieber, Rosalía, Tyla and more take the Met Gala red carpet
Hailey Bieber, Rosalía, Tyla and Sofia Richie Grainge grace the Met Gala red carpet.
Justin Bieber is fawning over his wife Hailey Bieber after she arrived solo at the 2025 Met Gala.
On May 6, the "Peaches" singer posted a photo of the Rhode founder at the annual affair with Charlie Wilson's song "There Goes My Baby," captioning the glamorous snap, "Tell em uncle Charlie."
Hailey Bieber wore a chic Saint Laurent mini dress blazer as she walked up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6. Her Grammy-winning husband captioned a second carousel, "I see it I like it and I want it."
The lovey Instagram posts come as the Biebers have been the subject of tabloid split rumors in recent months. The "Love Yourself" hitmaker skipped the Met Gala after the loss of his paternal grandfather last month.
In a heartfelt Instagram caption posted April 26 honoring Bruce Dale, Justin Bieber paid tribute to his beloved "Papa" with a throwback photo of the pair that appears to be from his debut "My World" musical era.
"I always took all ur money lol. I remember u specifically telling me, gramma gave u an allowance of 20 dollars for the WEEK! I would always convince you to spend on snacks at the hockey game on Friday nights. Reluctantly you always gave it to me." Dale is the dad of the "Purpose" singer's mom, Patti Mallette.
The pop star has made headlines in recent months, from cryptic Instagram posts on imposter syndrome in March to a series of confrontations with celebrity photographers and paparazzi.
But the Canadian popstar, 31, was also a no-show last month when his wife was honored April 25 at The Daily Front Row's 9th annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards with a Beauty Innovator of the Year Award for her skincare brand.
Although the "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" star was not in attendance, the 28-year-old model still thanked him for "supporting this dream of mine from the beginning and for always cheering me on." The Biebers share an eight-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber.

Love Island USA's Cierra Ortega Loses Nearly 200K Instagram Followers For Using Anti-Asian Slur
The glittering rise of Love Island USA contestant Cierra Ortega has come crashing down as fans abandon her en masse amid a growing racism scandal. In less than 48 hours, the 25-year-old influencer has hemorrhaged over 200,000 Instagram followers after a TikTok video and an old Instagram post resurfaced, both showing her casually using a racial slur against Asians. At the peak of her reality TV stardom, Ortega seemed poised to cross the million-follower mark on Instagram. Now, she's teetering at 726,000 and plummeting fast. But what exactly happened, and why is social media calling for her immediate removal from the villa? The social media eruption began when a TikTok clip originally posted in June 2020 was dredged up by users who noticed its disturbing language. In the video, Cierra, then 20, is seen in a doctor's office undergoing cosmetic procedures. The initial caption appears harmless enough, standard influencer fare about Botox and facial expressiveness. But buried in the middle of her caption, Cierra wrote: 'I can also be a little chubby when I laugh or smile, so I love getting a mini brow lift to open up my eyes and get that snatched look. This is not me encouraging, but more so sharing.'Then she added:'My smile's a little ch*nky.' If that weren't damning enough, internet sleuths uncovered a 2015 Instagram post in which Ortega once again used the same slur, captioning a selfie: 'Still ch*nkin' at the top.' The screenshots from both posts have gone viral, fueling fury across Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit. While some have attempted to excuse her words as 'self-deprecating,' others argue that the use of a known racial slur twice over multiple years reveals more than just poor judgment. The backlash was immediate and merciless. 'Cierra racist, saying slurs, and overall a fake person. Please get her out of the villa immediately along with Austin, Ace and Zak,' tweeted one angry viewer. 'Cierra literally said a racial slur but no one gives a f**k and everyone is saying it's not offensive. Racism towards Asians will never be taken seriously,' wrote another. A growing contingent of Love Island USA fans are now calling for Ortega to receive the 'Yulissa treatment', a reference to fellow Season 7 contestant Yulissa Escobar, who was abruptly removed from the show after old podcast clips surfaced of her using a racial slur. Escobar's exit was swift and unceremonious. Narrator Iain Stirling briefly addressed her disappearance during Episode 2, saying only that she was 'no longer in the villa.' No explanation. No segment. Just gone. Now fans want the same for Cierra. 'If we kicked someone else out for using racial slurs, why should she be treated any different?' one user posted. 'Her ass needs to get gone, I'm so serious.' The scandal is also reigniting criticism of the show's producers, who have been accused of showing favoritism toward Ortega throughout the season. Viewers have pointed to edited footage, unbalanced screen time, and favorable pairings that suggest a narrative bias in her favor. 'Last thing… Cierra posted this TikTok ON HER OWN FREE WILL on 6.14.20 using the same slur she did in the IG story,' said one user. 'If the producers choose to ignore this, they're rigging and for what? To defend a racist?' The backlash has now spilled beyond Love Island USA fandom and into broader conversations about anti-Asian racism in media and the selective enforcement of consequences. Before the controversy erupted, Ortega was rapidly gaining followers thanks to her steamy villa flirtations and Instagram-perfect looks. At her peak, she boasted 921,000 followers. Now, she's lost nearly a quarter of her fanbase and counting. Tracking tools show her losing thousands per hour as #CierraOut and #DumpCierra trend across social platforms. Despite mounting calls for Ortega's removal, Love Island USA producers have yet to issue a statement or take visible action. As of July 3, Cierra remains in the villa, smiling in slow-motion montages and enjoying curated dates while the internet burns. If producers thought the storm would pass, they may have miscalculated. Because if the show can eject Yulissa Escobar for one slur, what happens now that Cierra has been exposed using the same one twice? In a post-#MeToo, post-#StopAsianHate reality TV landscape, audiences are less forgiving than ever. The demand is clear: equality in accountability. Fans aren't just asking for justice, they're demanding it. And unless Love Island USA takes action, the show itself might suffer a loyalty loss of its own. As one user put it best: 'I am so disgusted by the amount of people dismissing Cierra saying a literal slur against Asian people TWICE. Give her the Yulissa treatment immediately.' The villa may be in paradise, but this scandal is anything but.

Why is everyone crashing out?
It was abundantly clear to everyone that Huda wasn't doing well. Huda Mustafa, the breakout villain on Love Island USA's seventh season, spiraled after viewers voted to separate her from Jeremiah Brown, with whom she'd developed an intense connection early in the current season. Over several episodes, she eavesdropped on Jeremiah's conversations, interrogated the woman he was re-coupled with, and broke down repeatedly. Her despondent face became a viral meme. Viewers, and later Huda herself, had a simple and notably Gen Z explanation for what she was experiencing: The lovelorn reality star had officially 'crashed out.' Justin Bieber received the same label recently, for his strange behavior on social media and a viral standoff with paparazzi. While some of his fan base voiced more serious concerns over the state of his mental health, many tagged the singer's antics as telltale signs of a typical 'crashout.' View Link It's not just celebrities. Go on TikTok, and users are posting videos of themselves venting, sobbing, or throwing physical tantrums with some sort of caption claiming that they've 'crashed out.' In other cases, they're describing 'crashing out' in response to other people. The catchall phrase is shorthand for the unfiltered actions of a person who is angry, anxious, confused, stressed out, or experiencing mental health issues. It can describe a range of behavior, from emotional outbursts to altercations to withdrawals. There are a lot of ways that 'crashing out' can look, but like obscenity, you know it when you see it. The term has floated around on the internet for a while now; Know Your Meme credits its popularity to rapper NBA YoungBoy, who used the term in his 2017 song, 'Stepped On.' Since the 2020s, the concept has been used both humorously and in earnest to discuss the fallout from issues as global as the state of the world, as personal as relationship or work stress, or as low stakes as struggling with a hairstyle. Practically any problem, big or small, can warrant a 'crashout.' One of the most striking things about the phrase is how general it is. Why is a generation raised on pop-psychology jargon, with more access to mental health resources and experience talking about their own needs, painting these episodes with such a broad brush? Is Gen Z abandoning traditional routes of managing their mental health, or has a burnout generation found a more radical way to cope? It's no secret that Gen Z is particularly stressed out. According to a 2024 Harmony Healthcare IT study, nearly half of Gen Zers struggle with mental health issues, with one in three taking prescription medication for mental health. Anxiety and depression are the most common conditions. The Covid-19 pandemic has been seen as a cause for the Gen Z mental health crisis, while other studies point to social media as a huge factor. Meanwhile, research suggests that Gen Z might be growing more resistant to traditional therapy. A study published in BetterHelp's 2025 State of the Stigma Report found that 37 percent of participants born between 1997 and 2012 said that seeking counseling was 'mentally weak.' This was a higher percentage than the 27 percent of millennials, Gen Xers, and baby boomers that were surveyed combined. If therapy's relatively unpopular, social media is booming, and it seems like many teenagers and young adults have turned to their favorite influencers and online advice to get through tough times. On TikTok, for example, 'crashouts' are often encouraged as a necessary form of catharsis. Even if you aren't naturally experiencing these outbursts, users posit them as a quick and easy fix for stress and anger. One user, @masonblakee, posted a video of himself looking relaxed in a car with the caption, 'How it feels when you finally crash out on someone after keeping your mouth shut for a while.' Another, @gazellechavez, made a video sharing the supposed benefits of occasionally 'crashing out.' 'Once you hit rock bottom, there's only one way you can go — up,' she says. View Link Still, professionals are more skeptical of these viral directives, as they're being confronted with them at work. Rebecca Hug, a clinical counselor and core faculty in clinical mental health counseling at University of Phoenix, says she regularly encounters clients who've 'absorbed the idea that emotional 'crashing' is a valid coping strategy.' 'This mindset discourages the development of essential skills like self-regulation, resilience, and perspective-taking,' Hug says. While she says these sorts of reactions are 'developmentally appropriate for teenagers,' it's a more crucial problem for people in early adulthood. New York-based psychologist Sabrina Romanoff shares similar concerns about these viral 'crashing outs,' saying that TikTok has become 'a double-edged sword for mental health.' 'On one hand, it's a space where young people can find validation and connect with people who share similar experiences,' she says. 'On the other hand, it's a platform with a high circulation of unqualified advice, often oversimplifying and promoting unhealthy ideas.' For instance, several videos frame the act of 'crashing out' on other people as a joyful and even empowering experience. But at what point do these emotional eruptions become abusive or signal one's failure in communicating with others? Romanoff adds that there's a danger to the internet automatically labeling these sorts of behaviors as 'crashouts' without acknowledging possible underlying causes. 'When we see repeated posts about these breakdowns, it can inadvertently create a culture where these moments are expected or even glorified rather than seen as a signal that something deeper needs attention,' she says. Prior to the 'crashout' trend, Gen Z had already built a reputation for publicizing their emotional meltdowns online. TikTok and Instagram Stories have become increasingly popular sites for influencers and average users to cry and vent. Hug says viral 'crashouts' reflect how 'emotional dysregulation is increasingly externalized and even socially validated.' Rather than having these intimate moments in private with friends or family members, users can receive immediate support from strangers that they may not receive in real life. This public sharing seems, in part, symptomatic of a loneliness epidemic affecting Gen Z. According to a Pew Research Center study this year, the cohort experiences higher rates of loneliness than previous generations. However, vulnerability has also proven to be a recipe for virality and a strategy to build loyal audiences. Hug says the visibility of emotional struggles can 'blur the line between authentic expression and performative vulnerability.' Hence, there's an obvious incentive for certain people to discuss and post their crashouts. Not everyone may come from a particularly dire or desperate place. After all, Hug says that many of these posters' concerns seem to reflect 'normal developmental stress rather than clinical pathology.' Still, she says that it's important for young people to develop self-regulation skills and utilize mental health resources rather than normalizing these reactions under the guise of 'crashing out.' Unfortunately, emotional maturity doesn't get as many likes. Correction, June 30, 2:30 pm ET: A previous version of this story incorrectly cited the report that published research about how Gen Z might be growing more resistant to traditional therapy. It was from BetterHelp's 2025 State of the Stigma Report.
