On Hailey Bieber's first Vogue cover announcement, Justin's congratulatory post quickly turned controversial when he referenced a past fight where he doubted her achievement. Fans found this inappropriate and mean-spirited, prompting many critical comments about the nature of his message, which seemed to overshadow her accomplishment. After facing backlash, Bieber deleted the post, reflecting growth in his understanding of how such remarks can impact their relationship and highlighting the importance of connection over resentment.
When Hailey's Vogue cover dropped on May 20, Bieber shared the image on Instagram alongside a caption meant to congratulate her.
Bieber acknowledged the dig was 'so mean' of him, and indicated he's grown since then, realizing that getting even doesn't foster connection.
Fan criticism emerged as many felt Bieber's message took away from Hailey's moment, with some suggesting it fed narratives of marital issues.
After backlash, Bieber deleted his earlier post, acknowledging the reaction and potentially recognizing the impact of his words on his wife's achievement.
