News that Christian megachurch Hillsong had fired high-profile pastor Carl Lentz for “moral failures” and his subsequent admission that he had cheated on his wife Laura shook the congregation.
Famous followers and close friends Justin and Hailey Bieber have been particularly affected by the scandal. “They were both extremely shocked and disappointed when Carl’s confession came out,” a source told UK’s The Sun, adding Hailey “quickly became furious” while Justin was “sympathetic to the man who had helped him so much”.
Days after the news broke, Carl and Laura – who have been married for 17 years and share three children – were snapped having a tense conversation outside the Biebers’ New York City apartment building. However, it seems any solidarity with the disgraced pair has been short-lived, with fans noting that Hailey and Justin were no longer following the former paster, 42, on Instagram, and that Carl and his wife appear to have unfollowed the Biebers in turn.
