Jeremy Bieber faces backlash over offensive anti-LGBTQ+ post during pride month
Jeremy Bieber took to his official Twitter account on Wednesday to share a bizarre meme that included a photo of a rainbow flag.

One of his tweets read, ‘We need to celebrate families. U know the reason we’re all here!’
Besides that, Jeremy released a slight apology and removed the post after he was criticized for the meme. He claimed that he didn’t want to cause any hurt.
He wrote, ‘Acknowledging the nuclear family is offensive? My apologies to those offended.’
Jeremy and Pattie Mallette were just eighteen when the latter gave birth to their son Justin in 1994. While they never officially tied the knot, Jeremy and Pattie decided to call it quits not long after his birth.
Meanwhile, Pattie took numerous low-paying office jobs and raised Baby’s singer in low-income housing as a single mother. However, Justin skyrocketed to fame after he was found out on YouTube.
Fans react to Jeremy Bieber’s anti-LGBTQ post
Fans of Justin Bieber were quick to condemn Jeremy Bieber for alleged hypocrisy. Additionally, they pointed out that he is telling others to ‘celebrate families’ when he has fathered kids with several women.
A user wrote, ‘Yes! thanks, straight man, who left your woman at the time raising your child alone. You are definitely the best person to something about family, respect, and love.’

Nevertheless, others called him out and said that he would be ‘nothing’ without his son, Justin Bieber.
A different user commented, ‘To be honest I think a person who abandoned his son and only came back to his life once he was millionaire is waaay worse.’
