Is Justin OK?

FRIENDS ARE WORRIED ABOUT JUSTIN BIEBER OVER HIS DISTURBING BEHAVIOR AND REPORTS HE'S STUCK IN A CULT.

- 

JUSTIN BIEBER really let loose while attending the Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif., in mid-April. In one video posted online, the shirtless — and noticeably gaunt — singer looks dazed as he sways to music. In another, the Canadian star is seen smoking what appears to be marijuana as his wife of six years, Hailey, is forced to intervene and usher Justin’s 15-year-old brother, Jaxon, away from him and his hard-partying friends.

In the days after, fans expressed renewed alarm over the star's behavior, commenting that he seems “strung out” and like he’s “spinning out of control.”

For months, concern has been mounting about whether the 31-year-old — who welcomed his first child, son Jack Blues, with Hailey, 28, last August — is doing OK amid reports of drug use and mental health struggles as well as new questions about his close ties to the L.A.-based spiritual community Churchome. Now, sources close to Ryan Good, Justin’s former friend and business partner, say he believes the church is a cult and is using Justin for his money and star power. “Justin is clearly struggling, and he needs help,” an insider tells Star. “Hailey is trying to be supportive, but she’s worried he’s slipping further over the edge.”
