Justin Bieber‘s friends are trying to get him back on track — if he’ll even have them around for it, that is.
As we’ve been reporting, the 31-year-old hitmaker has been under the gun recently with Father’s Day drama involving both his wife Hailey Bieber and his momma Pattie Mallette.
He’s also coming off a friendship flame-out that blew up in a very public way this past weekend. And now insiders are revealing that those still close to him are trying to get the hitmaker back in good order with whatever kind of intervention they might be able to muster. But will Justin accept the attention?

So, the centerpiece here is that Father’s Day friendship breakup Justin revealed on social media. According to an insider who spoke to DailyMail.com on Wednesday, the issue involved a person with whom JB had developed a “very intense friendship” over the past year. The source explained:
“They became really close — really, really fast. That’s how it works with Justin, if he likes you. Things become overwhelming and very intense, very quickly.”
Very intense… and they mean it literally. Especially lately, considering how he’s been over-the-top with nearly everyone.
To that end, the source explained that Justin is known to text his closest friends “every 20 minutes” all day long (!!!) with his favorite message, “WYD.” They noted:
“He wants to know what people are doing every minute, what they’re up to. It’s not out of the ordinary to get that text ten times a day.”
Huh.
And the source went on to claim that many of those closest to the Peaches singer now feel they have to “walk on eggshells around Justin at this point” out of fear that they could be cut off next! It’s apparently not a totally unfounded issue, either. The insider claimed that things could turn south at the drop of a hat for another one of Justin’s unlucky friends soon:
“Justin has no trouble cutting people off with very little or no notice. You never really know what you’re going to say to set him off.”
The source did say Justin has a “pretty small circle” these days. But that doesn’t mean he won’t cut people out if he feels like it!
They continued:
“Someone will piss him off and he’s done. Once they’re blocked, they’re blocked for good. He doesn’t go back to them.”
Oh, and being on the receiving end of what the source called the Baby crooner’s “vitriol” was alternately described by that insider as “not a pleasant experience” and “a really rough place to be.”
Jeez…
But what’s causing all this anger, anyways?? Well… quite a lot of things, actually.
There’s the seemingly embattled relationship with his wife, financial stress, speculation amid Diddy‘s ongoing trial, and… it’s just a lot.
A second source surmised:
“He has a lot to be angry about and we think it is coming out in different ways.”
Oof.
For what it’s worth, that second source did conclude with a MAJOR kicker: some people who were cut off by Justin in the past now want to “get back into his life and help” the pop star.
That would be a huge help — and a huge undertaking. No word yet on whether Justin would be amenable to it, tho.
