Justin Bieber's strange situation with his fashion line remains largely silent in public discussions.
Just'n Biebs' Life Gets Weird: Drew House Drama and Church Drama Galore!
Just when you thought Belieb and his Bieber Babe, Hailey, were living their best lives, a bucket load of drama comes their way - and it ain't just about his crazy antics at Coachella. The sparks are flying in the world of his clothing brand, Drew House.
First, let's talk about that mystifying event at Coachella. Seems like Justin was puffing on a roll-up over there next to his teenage bro, and fans are raising their eyebrows! Caught on camera looking unstable, Harshest Belieber may be in a bit of a rough patch health-wise, but he ain't spilling the beans just yet.
That ain't the only reason fans are questioning the Evergreen singer. His erratic social media posts, stomach-churning interactions with paparazzi, and an story about smoking up at a recent event - it ain't adding up, and fans are starting to get suspicious. Some say the decrepit state of his Drew House brand might be the real source of the trouble.
So what's happening with Drew House, you ask? Well, the brand's creative director, Ryan Good, used to be best buds with Justin, even serving as best man at his wedding. But it seems they ain't spoken in over a year now, thanks to tensions arising from Justin's relationship with his pastor, Judah Smith.
According to a source close to the situation, Ryan felt that Churchome, led by Judah, was a 'cult' and wanted out. As Ryan started distancing himself from the church in recent years, Justin only grew closer to Judah. In fact, sources say Justin even added Judah to the Drew House board - a decision that Ryan strongly disagreed with.
After all this juicy gossip from TMZ, another post surfaced hours later, this time with sources close to Justin explainin' that he felt that Drew House "was no longer his" and wanted to distance himself from his ex-manager Scooter Braun, heavily involved with the brand.
If that ain't enough, the wheels at Drew House don't stop turning there! Apparently, Justin was always outvoted on board decisions, according to those speaking for Ryan. But the denials from the Drew House camp came fast and furious, complete with comments from more mysterious sources.
Now it's seemin' like Justin's bidin' farewell to Drew House altogether. He posted a video on Instagram of him burnin' down a house filled with Drew House gear, then leaving the flames to join Hailey and their baby, Jack. Days later, he declared he was "no longer involved" with Drew House on his Instagram story.
Seems like Ryan Good (or the sources speakin' for him, anyway) suspects Judah Smith is at the heart of the conflict. Cult-like allegations, filled with charismatic leaders, intense group loyalty, isolation from outside influences, and high degrees of control over members' lives - it's enough to make you swear Justin's stuck in some kinda whirlpool of drama and spiritual tug-of-war.
So who's this Judah Smith folk keep talkin' 'bout? Pattie Mallette, Justin's mamma, first caught wind of Judah speakin' at City Church in 2010. She thought her teenage son, dealin' with the ups and downs of stardom, could use his influence. Turns out it was one of the most endurin' impacts on Justin's life, even earnin' 'em a pair of tattoos by 2017.
Nearly a decade later, Judah's church - now known as Churchome - pulls in more than 10,000 people a week, with the likes of the Kardashians and other A-listers worshippin' alongside. But it seems things aren't as hunky-dory as they seem. In 2020, News broke that church's pastor Carl Lentz was excommunicated amid claims of infidelity. Justin and Judah's bond only grew stronger after that.
Despite advertisin' themselves as progressive and hip, Churchome's actual values lean more conservative - a tad controversial, sittin' in line with the pitfalls of conservative thinking. Take 'em back in 2005, when Judah told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that he aimed to "get congregants while they were young" and thought abortion was an abomination, among other conservative views.
Things got murky when questioned on his views on homosexuality: "[It's] a sin, the same as murder, rape, or living with your girlfriend." With statements like that, it's no wonder that rumors keep swirlin' 'bout Churchome bein' a potentially toxic place.
Some have even gone as far as callin' Churchome a cult - but that's up for debate, ain't it? While it's true that there's no single definitive definition of a cult, many share common aspects like a charismatic leader, intense group loyalty, isolation from outside influences, and a high degree of control over members' lives. You can decide for yourself, but it's clear that Churchome ticks more of those boxes than the average church.
There'll prob'ly be more drama to come - and more mysterious sources pleadin' their cases - but one thing's for certain: somethin' is cookin' in the House of Drew, and it ain't all sunshine and roses. So hang on tight, Beliebers - it's gonna be one helluva ride.
