Justin Bieber is firing back on social media in response to a claim made about his relationships with Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez.

The 25-year-old "Boyfriend" singer took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to reply to an account calling his marriage to Hailey a "joke." In a comment on social media, the account claimed that Justin is "NOT in love" with Hailey and "only married her to get back at" his ex, Selena.

After seeing the comment, Justin replied, "Ur immature the fact that you have an account dedicated to dissing my wife and I is absolutely absurd why would I dedicate my whole life to someone in marriage to get back at my ex, anyone who believes this is mean spirited or 10 years old or younger because a logical person doesn't talk or think this way u should be ashamed to yourself really."

The singer then explained this is a reply to all of Hailey's haters who send her "hurtful" messages.

"I don't like to even give it my energy but this is a reply to all immature sick people who send Hailey hurtful messages like 'he always goes back to Selena' or 'Selena is better for him' YOU HAVE NO IDEA MY LIFE AND WHats good for me!!" Bieber fired back. "Hailey is my Bride period if you don't like that or support that means you don't support me and if you don't support me you're not a fan nor a good person, if you were raised right your parents would have said if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything."

Justin, who spent many years in an on-off relationship with Selena, tied the knot with Hailey in a courthouse ceremony in September.

As for why Justin is speaking out now, a source tells E! News, "He's being open and honest. It's part of his therapy and being accountable."

"It's not an easy time for him but he's doing the best he can and really digging in," the insider continues. "Hailey is there every step of the way and he's tired of people criticizing her and putting them down. He's sick of the cruelty and can only ignore it for so long. People will never let it go and sometimes he just snaps and has had enough. He feels like maybe if he's truthful people will move on."

The source also shares that Justin's relationship with Hailey is "different" than his relationship with Selena.

"She's able to support and help Justin in a different way. She's a rock and a stabilizer," the insider tells E! News. "He feels like Hailey is the best thing that's happened to him. He's so sick of hearing he should be with Selena instead. He wants to be able to enjoy his life with Hailey and sometimes it gets to her too. He really hopes people will move on from the Selena obsession and accept he is totally in love and committed to Hailey and their marriage."

It was just yesterday that Justin opened up about the "deep-rooted issues" he's currently working on.

"I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don't fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriAge and be the father I want to be," Justin wrote in a message to his fans. "Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health."
