Justin Bieber Headed For Breakdown? Selena Gomez, Chris Brown React To Justin Bieber Fight

Justin Bieber made headlines this week for getting involved in a fist fight after a Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game.

It drew a wide variety of reactions from people inside the Bieber inner circle. Justin’s friend Chris Brown has spoken out in support of Justin, saying Bieber was just “defending himself.”

“While Chris isn’t about the violence, he supports his little bro Justin. Chris knows firsthand how fans can become too aggressive and too in-your-face, and he believes Justin was provoked and forced to defend himself. Being a celebrity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. People think they own you and have the right to invade your privacy.”

Justin’s ex Selena Gomez had a very different reaction. Selena was reportedly a bit sad because she wishes Justin fought that hard for their love, according to Hollywood Life.

“Justin is so passionate for his work, so passionate when it comes to not doing any photos with fans, so passionate when it comes to gloating he didn’t get hurt when he got in his latest fight. But he was never passionate in keeping Selena’s heart and she hates that she wasn’t important enough for him to make what they had work… She wishes he would have fought for her like he fights for everything else in his life, with passion.”

That’s not all. Sugarscape reports that people close to Justin are worried the star may be heading for “a breakdown.”

“People around Justin are nervous about him and worry that he could have a breakdown.”

A source told ET that Justin needs a break and more privacy. It follows reports that Bieber cancelled fan meet and greets on his Purpose tour because he felt “drained from absorbing the spiritual energy of so many people.” Justin Bieber also announced that he will no longer take pictures with fans because the constant photo demands make him feel “like a zoo animal,” according to Rolling Stone.

“It has gotten to the point that people won’t even say hi to me or recognize me as a human. I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity.”

Insiders told ET that Justin Bieber is aware that people will accuse him of being selfish and/or “a snotty pop star,” but he needs to do what’s best for himself.

“He feels like people forget that he is a human being and needs privacy. Him writing those social posts about the ‘no photos etc…,’ that is him just being overwhelmed…. It wasn’t intended to make people think he is a snotty pop star, but it’s definitely reflective of what he is going through right now. During his time off, he has been trying to be as normal as possible and trying to be super low-key about everything.

Sources have also reported that Justin feels his life lacks stability right now with many people coming and going. This is in agreement with recent reports that Justin is considering a serious relationship with actress Nicola Peltz. Bieber reportedly feels that “something steady would be good for him right now.”

“So many people are coming in and out of his life constantly.”

Justin may be suffering in some ways, but he remains optimistic about his career and growth. Justin took to Twitter to comment about a new track by his mentor Usher.

Justin wrote, “Congrats big bro. I see no limit too.”
