Justin Bieber faces big challenge as he welcomes child with Hailey

Concerned friends are encouraging Justin Bieber to seek help for his anger issues, as the pop star's short fuse has become increasingly apparent in public.

A recent incident at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills saw Justin, 30, yelling at a group of young fans who were trying to take a picture of him. "Justin does not seem to be in a great place," a source revealed.

"He's been snapping a lot in public and freaking out over meaningless stuff."

The outburst occurred as Justin was meeting his then-pregnant wife, Hailey Baldwin, for lunch.

When the fans approached him, he lost his temper, demanding to know what they found so funny before shouting, "Get outta here!"

“It’s obvious that he’s stressed and not coping very well with his emotions, and a lot of people in his life would love to see him get some coaching on how to better manage his anger.”

“Everywhere he goes, people are either clamouring for a piece of him or purposely trying to get him to react, so it’s understandable he’d get triggered. But that’s the sort of stress he will always face as someone with his level of fame!”

Hailey, 27, and the Sorry singer are now parents to their newborn baby, Jack Blues Bieber.

According to the source, this new addition to their family has added to Justin's stress, making him even more emotional and overwhelmed.

“The feeling in his circle is that the sooner he gets help and learns how to deal with his temper in heated situations, the better,” said the insider.
