Justin Bieber made a statement at the 2021 Met Gala, not just with his fashion choices, but also with his powerful words against the paparazzi. The Grammy-winning singer has once again spoken out against the photographers who constantly follow him, capturing every moment of his life for the sake of money.
Earlier this month, TMZ published a video of Justin confronting paparazzi in California, calling them out for their lack of empathy and their sole focus on making money. And just recently, in the early hours of Friday morning, the Baby singer took to Instagram to share footage of himself turning the tables on the photographers who were pursuing him.
In the video, Justin can be heard repeatedly saying, “Look at these guys, man,” as he films the paparazzi who were following him to take his photo. Along with the video, he also shared a message that read, “This has to stop.” It’s clear that Justin is tired of being constantly hounded by the paparazzi, and he’s not afraid to speak up about it.
But that’s not all Justin had to say on Instagram. Hours before sharing the video, he posted a stream-of-consciousness message on his Instagram story, talking about forgiveness and overcoming feelings of guilt. He wrote, “They treat me like ass out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and God forgave me, it helps me to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful.”
Justin continued, “Because when I’m really honest, I can be mean and hurtful. My instinct is to be like, ‘Damn, I wouldn’t gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet,’ but there’s other shit I do that I’m not proud of, that God is gracious with. Hurt people hurt people.”
It’s clear that Justin is not only speaking out against the paparazzi, but also reflecting on his own actions and taking responsibility for them. He acknowledges that he is not perfect and has made mistakes, just like everyone else. And he encourages others to do the same and not judge or criticize others without acknowledging their own flaws.
But Justin didn’t stop there. He also addressed the jealousy and hate that he and his wife Hailey Bieber receive from others. He wrote, “And honestly, if I was you, it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzyy. It’s really up for us, and that’s understandable why people can’t stand it. I don’t blame ’em.”
He even joked, “Hailey and I are the Joneses that are impossible to keep up with.” It’s clear that Justin and Hailey have a strong and loving relationship, and they are not afraid to show it. But Justin also acknowledges that their success and happiness may cause jealousy and hate from others, and he understands that.
In the past few months, Justin’s team has had to shut down numerous rumors about his personal life, including claims that he is in millions of dollars’ worth of debt due to a cancelled tour. They have also had to address false rumors about Justin relapsing and using drugs again, which they have called “exhausting and pitiful.”
It’s clear that Justin is tired of the constant speculation and false rumors surrounding his life. He just wants to live his life and be happy with his wife, without constantly being hounded by the paparazzi and facing false accusations. And with his powerful words and positive attitude, he is standing up for himself and encouraging others to do the same.
In conclusion, Justin Bieber made a statement at the 2021 Met Gala, not just with his fashion choices, but also with his powerful words against the paparazzi and his message of self-reflection and positivity. He is not afraid to speak out against injustice and stand up for himself, and he encourages others to do the same. Let’s all take a lesson from Justin and spread love and positivity instead of hate and judgment.
