Fans react after Justin Bieber is seen smoking near Younger Brother at Coachella, Hailey steps in

A recent video from Coachella 2025 has led to backlash against pop star Justin Bieber, who was seen smoking close to his 15-year-old brother, Jaxon. The moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media, leading many fans to express concern over the singer’s behavior. The incident reportedly took place at the popular music festival in Indio, California, and was first highlighted in a report by Page Six.
According to the viral footage, Justin was enjoying the festival with friends while dancing, with his teenage brother standing nearby. The video showed Hailey Bieber, Justin’s wife, stepping in to address the situation. After glancing briefly at her husband and his group, she gently placed her hands on Jaxon’s shoulders and guided him away from the area. The 15-year-old quietly followed her without resistance.
Social media users had mixed reactions to the clip. Some fans found the scene troubling, with one person describing it as “scary,” while another called it “embarrassing.” However, not everyone was critical. A few defended Justin’s actions, saying he was simply enjoying himself at a music festival. One supporter even commented that there didn’t seem to be a real issue, writing, “It’s just a blunt. He’s vibing.”
Despite the wave of criticism, Justin Bieber’s representative responded to the situation, as quoted by TMZ. The spokesperson dismissed the negativity, saying that many people are more focused on keeping “harmful narratives” alive, regardless of the actual facts. The representative also denied any rumors about trouble in Justin and Hailey’s marriage.
Speculation about the couple's relationship had grown recently due to Justin’s absence from Hailey’s Easter social media posts. Hailey had shared pictures from the holiday featuring her and their 7-month-old son Jack, but Justin was notably missing from those photos, as reported by Page Six.
While opinions remain divided online, the incident has once again placed the spotlight on Justin Bieber’s personal choices, especially when it comes to his behavior around younger family members. The event has also sparked ongoing discussions about setting examples for impressionable relatives, even during casual public outings like music festivals.
