Justin Bieber slammed by fans after revealing brutal insult he gave wife Hailey during 'huge fight'

Justin Bieber has felt the ire of his fans after he posted a rather bizarre Instagram caption dedicated to his wife over her latest achievement.

Model Hailey Bieber has just accomplished a major milestone by being featured on the front cover of Vogue, and her fans are of course delighted.

Her husband, Justin Bieber, wanted to bring attention to this success in a social media page - but things didn’t exactly go to plan.

In an Instagram post on May 20, the 'Baby' singer revealed that he once made a brutal dig at her about her modelling career and was glad that he was mistaken.

But unfortunately, fans weren’t exactly happy with this and hit back at the star.

Justin wrote in his now-edited Instagram caption: "Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue.

"Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even.

"I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection."

He then concluded: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."

So yeah... maybe not the best caption to celebrate your wife's achievement? And it certainly drew some rather critical comments from his fans.

One user said: "Some things are best kept to yourself. Like this caption."

Another quipped: "She doesn’t need haters she already has you."

While one furious fan replied: "Congrats on taking one of Hailey’s biggest moments and making it about you. Now no one’s talking about rhode at sephora, or about how strong she is bc of her 18 hour long delivery. they’re talking about how much you hate her."

Though many took issue with Bieber’s comments, others defended the star and praised his honesty.

One user said: "Why the people saying ‘so unnecessary’ Justin being honest, [on] his social media, respect."

Another commented: "People think relationships are perfect and that there are no arguments, he was honest and everything is fine. Be happy, and let JB be happy. Who has never had a bad fight with their partner?"

And a third wrote: "He said sorry that’s enough.. Momma Hails is stunning."

Bieber has since changed the caption to a line of positive emojis.

UNILAD has contacted Bieber’s representatives for comment.
