Justin Bieber is ‘angry’ at dad Jeremy for his homophobic Twitter posts

Justin Bieber is “angry” at his father Jeremy Bieber for dragging him into drama after angering fans by sharing homophobic messages on Twitter.

Earlier this week, 48-year-old Jeremy responded to Pride Month by sharing a rainbow flag meme that read, “Don’t forget to thank a straight guy for being here this month.”

The post was later deleted and he returned to Twitter to apologize to those he offended, but it did little to quell the backlash.

A source close to Justin tells DailyMail.com he is angry about being pulled into this “mess” but has since spoken to his father and hopes it will pass.

A representative for Justin Bieber declined to comment when approached by DailyMail.com.

“Justin hasn’t had much controversy lately. He tries to lay relatively low and just be there for it [wife Hailey Bieber] and their relationship and try not to be around drama. He’s had enough of that in his life,” they explained.

But unfortunately his dad started a new drama and now Justin is involved in the mess. He’s mad at his father for doing what he did, but he also knows that people will talk about something else tomorrow and this will pass.”

After speaking to Jeremy, the source says he and Justin are “on the same wavelength about not doing something stupid like that again” and focused on moving forward.

“Justin has had an up-and-down relationship with his dad for years, and this just adds to it all. Justin’s father knows he has put Justin in a bad position, but Justin wants to get out of this as soon as possible and hopes his father will be forgiven,” the insider continued.

“Especially since it’s so close to Father’s Day and his dad’s birthday. Justin wants to celebrate his father and not be mad at his father.”

Jeremy’s apology was published on Wednesday and he insisted he had no ‘intention’ to disrupt the internet with his posts.

“Acknowledging the nuclear family is insulting? My apologies to those offended. It was not my intention. Not that my opinion matters,” he tweeted.

Days prior to sharing the controversial rainbow flag meme, Jeremy – who is a devout Christian – ranted about the “need to celebrate families” during Pride Month.

‘You know why we’re all here! What this generation glorifies is unbelievable!’ he tweeted.

Fans quickly took to social media calling out Jeremy for alleged hypocrisy for urging others to “celebrate families” when he has fathered children with multiple women.

One fan wrote, “Yeah! thank you straight man, who abandoned your wife when you raised your child alone. You are definitely the best person for anything about family, respect and love.”

Another wrote, “Says the man who abandoned his child and only came back because he got famous..that’s how you celebrate family?”

Another wrote: ‘Yes! thank you straight man, who abandoned your wife when you raised your child alone. You are definitely the best person for anything about family, respect and love.

Others called out the star, saying he would be “nothing” without his superstar son, writing, “don’t forget to thank Justin for all the money you have.”

Justin previously bought Jeremy an $850,000 house and it was previously alleged that he sent his father thousands of dollars a month to fund his lifestyle.

Another wrote, “Says the man who abandoned his son and didn’t come back to life until he was a millionaire.

One wrote, “Honestly, I think someone who abandoned his son and didn’t come back to life until he was a millionaire is much worse,” while another typed, “You’re so pathetic.”

Others wrote: ‘Don’t forget to thank your son who you abandoned as a baby for the money you have now’, ‘lol why would anyone listen to you on the subject of families?’ and ‘Sorry yes, let’s glorify families. The three “families” you started have three different wives who have children all over the place. GLORIOUS FAMILIES!!!’

In addition to Justin, Jeremy had two children — daughter Jazmyn, 13, and son Jaxon, 12 — with ex Erin Wagner, who he dated from 2007 to 2014.

Jeremy then married his girlfriend Chelsey Rebelo in February 2018 and together they welcomed daughter Bay, 3. Jeremy is also a stepfather to Chelsey’s 14-year-old daughter Allie.

He divorced Justin’s mother Pattie Mallette just 10 months after she gave birth to the future global superstar after a rocky relationship.

According to Pattie’s autobiography, The Only Way Is Up, the teens were actually engaged but called off the wedding when Jeremy cheated on her with a mutual acquaintance.

She also claims that Jeremy was in county jail for fighting the day Justin was born and that he often abandoned his son and regularly failed to show up when he would take him out for the day.

There is no official record of his time in prison at the time of Justin’s birth – although records are cleared in Canada after a certain period of time.

But he has other offenses on his criminal record. In 1997, he was convicted of assault and sentenced to 90 days in prison.

Two years later, he spent another 21 days in jail after violating his probation. At the same time, he was also convicted of a second probation violation.

In January 2004, he was again charged with assault, but the case was dismissed.

Despite his criminal past, Justin still seems to look up to his wayward father. Although they were not in touch for a long time during his childhood, Justin gave an interview where he said, “I have a great relationship with my dad.

“When I was younger, he taught me to play some songs on the guitar, like Bob Dylan’s ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’. He also taught me how to drive.’
