Pop icon Justin Bieber is under fire after a social media post meant to celebrate wife Hailey Bieber’s Vogue June 2025 cover took a controversial turn. While Hailey’s stunning appearance on the cover was praised, Justin’s congratulatory post sparked criticism for being “self-centred” rather than affectionate.
Justin’s Controversial Post Draws Heat
In his post, Justin recalled a past argument with Hailey, writing, “Yo, this reminds me of when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue… so mean.” He went on to reflect on personal growth, saying, “As we mature, we realise that we’re not helping anything by getting even we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection.”
While he ended the message with an apology “So baby, you already know—but forgive me for saying you wouldn’t get a Vogue cover” fans were divided. Some appreciated his vulnerability, but many slammed the singer for overshadowing Hailey’s milestone by focusing on his past behavior. One comment read, “Congrats on taking one of Hailey’s biggest achievements and making it about you.”
