Justin Bieber eats humble pie in more ways than one following demeaning remarks about his wife Hailey’s Vogue cover with a disturbing caption. On Tuesday, the 31-year-old sparked outrage with his fond rehashing of a cruel comment he made to his wife, Hailey, at the onset of her modeling career. Following the backlash, Justin edited his caption, replacing the Vogue apology to Hailey Bieber with a series of emojis. Fans deemed his actions disrespectful to his wife, with most citing previous instances of disrespect and suggesting the icon would get a taste of his medicine at some point.
That bad karma caught up with him soon enough. Just hours after the questionable apology to Hailey, the singer stepped out in West Hollywood, experiencing a series of embarrassing occurrences that nearly ruined his day out.
Justin Bieber’s Fashion Fail in West Hollywood Kickstarts His Hapless Day
For the Wednesday outing, Justin Bieber rocked purple tees and oversized denim pants, paired with a pair of chunky slip-on sandals. However, the crooner appeared to forget his belt, causing an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as his pants threatened to ride below his hips upon stepping out of his SUV. The singer continued running his errand despite the awkward fitting, gripping a handful of denim fabric in his crotch area to hold his pants in place as he walked, in a not-so-flattering manner.
While that could have easily passed for a fashion choice rather than an awkward wardrobe malfunction, Justin Bieber encountered yet another mishap on the same outing. The dad of one, who drove his vehicle to the Sunset Strip, parked improperly, earning him a parking ticket from a LADOT traffic officer on a bicycle, per the Daily Mail. Justin embarrassed himself further later that day when he shared an Instagram post featuring some of his buddies, along with the caption, “Peep the skyleezzies on Eddie’s feet you lil puss.”
His tone-deaf attempt to highlight the pair of Yeezy-style SKYLRK shoes musician Eddie Benjamin donned in the photo fell flat with his wordplay on controversial rapper Kanye West’s ostracized shoe brand. With his day fast turning from bad to worse, Justin Bieber seemingly got his full payback following his shameful dig at Hailey Bieber’s Vogue appearance just a day earlier, leaving critics delighted.
Justin’s Apology Post to Hailey Deemed Disrespectful
The drama heated up after the 28-year-old supermodel featured on her first-ever Vogue cover this month, discussing details about her marriage, motherhood, and the effect of the continuous divorce speculations on her mental health during her post-partum period.
In what appeared to be a show of support for his successful wife, Justin Bieber shared an Instagram post, along with a caption apologizing for the disrespectful comment he made about Hailey Bieber’s Vogue future. The 31-year-old acknowledged that years back, during a fight, he had blurted out a condescending comment suggesting Hailey would never make the cover of Vogue. He owned up to the mean nature of the statement, which he voiced because he felt the “need to get even,” something he now regrets, having grown more mature since then. Justin ended with an apology to his wife, saying,
“So baby, you already know, but forgive me for saying you wouldn’t get a Vogue cover, cuz I was sadly mistaken.”
Critics especially took offence at the inclusion of the word “sadly” in his last statement. According to them, Justin Bieber’s final apology suggested that he felt sad that his predictions about Hailey Bieber never appearing on Vogue were proven wrong. Many have since taken to social media to slam the star’s lack of faith in his wife, labeling him emotionally abusive. Others suggested Justin only opted to recount the disrespectful story in an effort to make his wife’s Vogue moment all about himself, ultimately reducing her achievement to the belittling drama. One fired,
“He’s a chronic emotional abuser, it’s like he can’t help himself and has to belittle her any chance he gets.”
Another wrote,
“He’s a chronic emotional abuser, it’s like he can’t help himself and has to belittle her any chance he gets.”
A third questioned Justin Bieber’s decision to air the age-old couple’s scuffle at this point, saying, “Why on earth would you publicly rehash/admit this?” To that, another netizen responded, “To make Vogue cover about him.”
Justin and Hailey Happily Married Despite Rumored Crisis
Justin and Hailey Bieber are not strangers to backlash targeting their marriage or treatment of each other. While Hailey has constantly faced criticism for desperately clinging to her husband despite his seeming lack of affection, fans have repeatedly accused Justin of treating his wife disrespectfully, often humiliating her in public. Weeks after, the Sorry crooner came under fire again after sharing an Instagram clip of a young boy in a thick coat flashing his middle finger at the camera while standing in the snow. He captioned the post, “POV: Me behind my girlfriend after she makes me mad.”
However, fans failed to see the humor in those lines, slamming him for “disrespecting” his wife. Such seemingly disrespectful comments have raised concerns about the state of Justin and Hailey Bieber’s marriage, plunging the couple neck-deep in divorce rumors. Thankfully, the Biebers finally bit back during Hailey’s Vogue interview, with the Rhode founder clarifying for good that they enjoyed a happy marriage, despite the craziness of constantly dealing with divorce speculations.
