Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Justin Bieber raises eyebrows with smoking video
Caption: Justin Bieber raises eyebrows with smoking video. The Peaches singer, 30, posted a minute-long video to his Instagram Stories on Thursday showing himself smoking what appeared to be a joint. Justin smiled wide as he exhaled the smoke, moving close to the camera between several puffs. The post appeared to be a response to criticism after fans speculated about his demeanour at wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skin cosmetics pop-up event last week. A viral video from the event showed Bieber smiling widely, another showed him staring blankly at the camera while posing with Hailey. Fans questioned his behaviour, with one writing, "This is so hard to watch. Someone help him”. Others defended the star, with one penning, "Justin Bieber is smiling, haters: 'Omg, what's wrong with him?' LEAVE HIM ALONE.” Justin's spokesperson rejected drug-abuse speculation, telling TMZ the rumours were, "exhausting and pitiful”. The rep added that Bieber has been busy in the studio and adjusting to fatherhood after he and Hailey welcomed their first child, a son, in August.
