The 30-year-old music mogul Justin Bieber took Twitter by storm on Father's Day (June 15) with feelings-fueled, profane-laden posts that left fans and followers in a tailspin. Three days from the paparazzi confrontation outside of Soho House Malibu, Bieber's online meltdown gave us a glimpse of a man on the brink who was quite over it.
First of all, there was the bird flip. "I'm a dad not to be f#####ED with," he wrote to accompany the image. That in itself turned heads, but that was only the start. A subsequent slide read, "quit f###### with me I'm really not the one." No frills, just fury.

Bieber also invited fans into something that appeared to be the still-smoldering wreckage of a former private text thread with a former friend. I was flooded with the weight and raw honesty of the messages. "I will never feign to be who I'm not for someone," he wrote. "If you don't like my anger, you don't like me." The words alluded to deep, bitter trauma and a refusal to sugarcoat it for anyone's comfort.
The unnamed friend attempted a midway approach: "I'm not used to someone lashing out at me." But Bieber wasn't having it. "Ouch. Friendship done with this guy," he declared. "I will never stand to have a man call my anger lashing out."
It got uglier. In another direct message, Bieber doubled down: "I thought you were a p####. I'm blocking you now."
But he reversed the tables instead of soothing the young man's doubts. In a series of Instagram Stories, he wrote, "QUIT ASKING ME IF I'M OK. QUIT ASKING ME HOW I'M DOING. I DON'T DO THAT TO YOU."
The tone was unvarnished, even defiant. Bieber wrote that everyone's life is "HARD dealing with other people's BS" and accused them of "coming after me because u want to be able to say for not liking me. "YOUR CONCERN DOESN'T READ AS CARE; IT'S JUST OPPRESSIVE WEIRDO.OK, OK, OK."
And all of this came just days after his viral Soho House confrontation, in which an angry bald Bieber shouted at photographers: "Get out of my f###### face! Stop provoking me. "I'm a dad, a husband, a man of God, a patriotic, and a servant leader.
Whether you view it as a cry for help, an exercise in boundary setting, or just someone who's had enough good reasons to snap, one thing's for sure: Bieber is no longer playing by anyone else's script. Whether you loved him or loathed him, there's no denying that Justin's message was bold, raw, and human.
