According to a statement issued by representatives for Justin and his wife Hailey Bieber to Rolling Stone and TMZ, they are reportedly exhausted by the "pitiful' public interest in Justin's mental and physical health, adding “despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
This past year for Justin has been “very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him,” the statement adds.
Finally, they say Justin has been keeping himself quite busy in the studio working on new music, and of course spending time with his and Hailey’s brand new son Jack Blues, who they welcomed home last summer.
