Family prayers or public overstep? Justin Bieber fires back at mom’s ‘healing’ post in surprising twist.
Justin Bieber isn’t exactly feeling the love from his mom’s recent Instagram post. Weeks after Pattie Mallette publicly prayed for her son’s “healing,” the pop star responded with a sarcastic quip that’s raising eyebrows.
On September 24th, Mallette shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, declaring, “We’re cheering you on and praying for you always, Justin.” She went on to pray for “freedom, strength, clarity, and healing” for her son, accompanied by photos of Bieber wearing a shirt that reads “Pray for me.” Her post concluded with a powerful plea: “Every chain of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain — be broken in Jesus’ name.”
But here’s where it gets controversial... Instead of gratitude, Bieber replied with a dismissive comment: “Only thing I need healing from is my rolled pinky toe from playing ping pong.” The remark, though seemingly lighthearted, carries a sting, especially considering Bieber’s own outspoken faith. Many fans found it amusing, but others are questioning the dynamics between the mother and son.
This exchange comes at a time when Bieber is making headlines for his Coachella comeback, announced with a sleek black-and-white video and the caption “see u in april.” However, his recent social media activity has been anything but conventional. He’s been sharing conversations with ChatGPT about the impact of human effort on humanity, pairing them with captions reflecting on grace and growth through a Christian lens.
And this is the part most people miss... Bieber’s public behavior over the past year has sparked concern among fans. From Segway rides in his underwear to open cannabis use, his actions have been, well, unconventional. Add to that the marital rumors with wife Hailey Bieber, which he later addressed in his album “Swag,” and it’s clear the singer is navigating a complex personal landscape. Despite Hailey’s calls for critics to “move on” and “chill out” during her Vogue interview, the couple has been presenting a united front on social media.
The Biebers’ relationship has been a rollercoaster. After a brief romance in 2015, they reconnected in 2018, got engaged that July, and married in a New York City courthouse in September of the same year. Six years later, they renewed their vows and announced the arrival of their first child, Jack Blues, in August 2024.
Is Pattie’s public prayer a loving gesture or an overstep? Does Bieber’s response reveal a deeper rift, or is it simply a playful jab? The dynamics between celebrity parents and their children are often complex, and this situation is no exception. What do you think? Is Pattie’s public prayer appropriate, or should family matters remain private? Let us know in the comments!
