Some other netizens criticized the 31-year-old Grammy winner, saying that as a married man, he shouldn’t be kissing his female friends. One user (@nunyabizl02299) asked those supporting Bieber to picture their fathers in his position and think about how it would make them feel. “Everybody saying this is cool, just imagine your daddy kissin his “female friend” on the cheek like this in front of yo momma,” a netizen wrote on X.
Many expressed their concern about how Bieber’s wife, Hailey, would feel and how disrespectful the kiss was to her. But Hailey didn’t appear to be bothered by the video, as she wrote a trio of love heart faces emoji under the comments of Justin’s post.
