Fans are defending Hailey Bieber against intense backlash after her husband Justin found himself in hot water last week.

The Canadian musician caused controversy with his latest Instagram post featuring the couple’s son Jack Blues Bieber, who they welcomed back in August 2024.

Despite largely keeping the little one out of the spotlight, on Thursday (29 May) Justin decided to share a carousel of snaps from life recently as a first-time dad.

However, some fans were left unimpressed with one particular detail in the social media post, with Hailey also picking up some criticism, despite not featuring in the post herself.

The hitmaker was seen smoking with some friends in one picture, while another sees him sitting in what looks like the same location with baby Jack.

Some assumed the cigarette was marijuana - which is legal in California, where Bieber spends most of his time.

One advised the star: "Don't smoke in front your kid."

Another penned a lengthy message, beginning: "Children are particularly vulnerable to health problems from exposure to smoke, including both cigarette and marijuana (pot) smoke."

They added: "Even smoke that lingers on clothes or furniture (known as thirdhand smoke) can be harmful. So…maybe consider that. You’re a parent now. Act like one."

Meanwhile, someone else took aim at Hailey, penning in the comments of one of her Instagram posts: “Stop leaving your baby with a bunch of guys who are high! Seriously, so irresponsible."

Seemingly fuming, they added: “That poor kid. You know in many countries that child would have been taken away for safety reasons.”

Another joined in by quipping: "WHERE IS HIS MAMA? His mama should be doing the big mama thing and removing that child from this childish, unsafe behaviour."

But, with the negative comments also came a slew of fans sticking up for the celebrity couple, and Hailey in particular.

Defending the Rhode founder and her husband, one user wrote on Instagram: “First off, there’s no blunt in his hand when his child is near. This is all speculation.”

They continued to point out the baby has ‘clearly been removed’ and ‘his mother could have picked him up and taken him to another location in the house’.

The fan quipped: “Everyone just needs to stop spinning a negative and let people live. This is what’s wrong with society, you’re not going to change anything talking this way.”

Another called out those taking issue with Hailey, insisting: "Let's not blame the woman for the man's behaviour."

Agreeing, someone else chimed in with: "How about you hold the father responsible, why is it always the mother?"

Meanwhile, followers of Justin made sure to stick up for the singer as they made the important point that Jack doesn’t actually feature in any of the pictures that show Justin smoking.

Instagram users penned: “He wasn't he was before the baby came outside” and “He's not, it's different moments clearly.”

Another fan of the father-of-one hit back with: “How about you worry about your own life, Karen”.

Meanwhile, a third chimed in with: “You don’t see that man smoking with his baby in NONE OF THESE PICS! Y’all say anything for attention.”

A fourth posed the question: “Where in the pic do u see him smoking directly next to the baby?”

Tyla has contacted a representative for Hailey for comment and previously reached out to Bieber's reps for comment
