Justin Bieber deletes shocking post about wife Hailey amid backlash

Shocked fans called Justin Bieber’s bizarre post about wife Hailey “diabolical” – now, he’s made some drastic alterations.

Is it too late now to say sorry?

Justin Bieber made major edits to his headline-making Instagram caption after overshadowing wife Hailey Bieber’s first Vogue cover.

The singer’s initial social media upload yesterday divulged a bitter fight in which he tried to “get even” with his partner by telling her she’d never end up on the front of the magazine.

“Yikes I know, so mean,” the Grammy winner, 31, wrote, noting that he had felt “disrespected” prior to making the diss.

“Baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken,” he continued.

Now, however, the caption has been edited to simply a string of emojis, including a shrugging man, a pointing finger, heart hands and a face tearing up.

The songwriter’s followers called him out over the change.

“Bro thought he would edit the caption and nobody would notice,” one Instagram user wrote, with another labelling the move “crazy” after he aired “dirty laundry.”

A third added, “Not him changing the caption.”

Reps for Justin and Hailey have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The pop star hinted that the viral Instagram post caused strife when he shared a photo of a pink sea creature.

Justin made a pointed reference to “hard days” after scrubbing the post.

“On hard days like today these little rare little creatures give me some joy,” Justin wrote.

Bieber’s fans advised him to “put away” his phone and “go touch grass” or “read [his] Bible.”

One quipped, “hard days? ur wife just got her biggest magazine cover ever and ur making this about urself lol.”

In the wide-ranging Vogue profile, Hailey attempted to dispel rampant split rumours plaguing her marriage in recent months.

The pair have been married since 2018.

“You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no,” the “confrontational” she said in the interview. “So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.”

She repeated the advice her husband has given her regarding headlines, which is, “You’re not going to win. There is no winning.”

The couple wed in 2018, welcoming their baby boy, Jack Blues, last summer.
