Others believed he was setting a bad example for his fans.

Always thought [Justin Bieber] was better than that. At least keep it out of the public view. You’re not setting a good example for your young fans. Your standards appear low,” wrote another person.

Justin has reportedly felt increasingly frustrated with the constant backlash. A source said Justin does not deny the fact that he smokes weed and feels frustrated that people criticize him for it.

Justin is having fun, vibing out and yes, he smokes weed like everyone else,” a source told People. “But everything he does is being weaponized against him.”

Hailey reportedly feels sad that her husband is facing backlash.

“Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him. It’s just completely untrue,” a source said. “If anything she’s sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell.”
