Recent controversies: cult affiliation an more

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Bieber drew scrutiny due to a series of cryptic mirror selfies, some showing a knee brace, fueling speculation about his substance use and well-being.

Additionally, reports have surfaced alleging Bieber’s involvement with a “cult-like” religious group. According to reports, he has aligned with Churchome, a megachurch led by Pastor Judah Smith—with insiders claiming friends like Ryan Good left due to cult concerns
