Moments ago, the 31-year-old addressed the matter in a message posted to social media. Declaring that he would not be “bullied” out of his LA, he wrote:

“Everyone telling me to move from LA.
U think I’m gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed?
How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness?

I too have been caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood. It’s embarrassing but with that said I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son, I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone.
And be a proponent and advocate for
LOVE AND EQUALITY”

UPDATE:

Bieber took to Instagram with the picture of a lion and the caption:

“THE LION .

I BELIEVE GOD IS MY LION

MY STRONG LEADER!

ABLE TO FIGHT FOR ME ON MY BEHALF.

I BELIEVE WHEREVER I AM, HE IS.

IM CURRENTLY ASKING HIM TO HELP ME WITH PATIENCE BECAUSE It CAN BE REALLY HARD TO NOT RIP THESE F*CKIN GUYS HEADS OFF

THROUGH THE CHAOS SOMEHOW GOD ALWAYS BRINGS ME BACK TO HIMSELF.

Today I’m forgiving myself for my own selfishness, AND forgiving THOSE WHO SEEK TO USE AND ABUSE ME SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CAPITaLIze off of me, Or Their jealousy makes them want to make me feel small like how they feel.

However u slice it I’m getting hit from all angles

And I’m no victim

I moved to LA KNOWING ITS F*CKED OUT HERE

But can we as a unit align with how f*cked it is out here and change this sh*t or are we gonna let these f*ck boys keep treating me like sh*t and not change laws or anything because

People have had to die cuz of this sh*t princess Diana is the first that comes to mind smh

We gotta do better please can we make a change?”
