In January 2020, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share his Lyme disease diagnosis in a since-deleted post. Soon after, during the COVID-19 lockdown, the "Sorry" hit-maker and his wife, Hailey Bieber, went on Instagram Live to answer fans' questions. When one wondered about Justin's health, Hailey began to answer, prompting him to grow visibly annoyed with her. The pop star even cut his wife off mid-sentence, saying, "[The fan] was asking me," (via YouTube).
A visibly confused Hailey looked at him, and after a couple of awkward seconds, they both laughed. Still, Justin continued with, "It's my Lyme disease. It's not your Lyme disease." In response, Hailey tried explaining that she was just trying to be supportive, to which Justin jokingly countered, "Listen to me, woman." While it ended on a humorous note, the video added fuel to the fire that their marriage was in trouble, with one user arguing that she was putting all the effort in.
A similar eyebrow-raising incident occurred in 2019 when The Hollywood Fix caught Justin abruptly shutting a car door in Hailey's face. In the video, the singer can be seen leaving the vehicle first, and instead of holding the door open for his wife, he slams it shut. While social media users doomed the couple's relationship once again, Hailey and Justin have proven resilient to public opinion, with neither party directly addressing any of these awkward interactions.
