“I know I’m broken,” that’s how Justin Bieber described himself after a late-night scuffle with a paparazzi spiraled into a very public breakdown for the artist—one that fans quickly compared to the unraveling of Britney Spears.
In a series of very personal Instagram Stories shared on Monday, the 31-year-old pop star admitted to grappling with intense unresolved trauma he’s been unable to handle.
“People keep telling me to heal,” Bieber wrote. “Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I have anger issues.”
