Hailey Bieber Sends Cease & Desist to TikToker Calling Justin Bieber Abusive & an 'Addict' (Report)

Hailey Bieber is reportedly taking legal action against a TikToker following claims they made about Justin Bieber and their marriage.

Recently, TikTok creator Julie Theis posted a video in which she analyzed celebrity couples that she says are romanticized because the woman “tolerates mediocrity, abuse, doing the majority of domestic and emotional labor in exchange for being in a relationship.”

“There is no better example than Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber,” Theis said, before claiming that Hailey, 29, has stayed with Justin, 31, because she “will tolerate that abuse.”

After the claims in the TikTok started making headlines, Hailey and Justin reportedly sent a cease and desist to Theis through their attorney, stating that she “manufactured a false defamatory narrative,” according to the legal documents obtained by TMZ.

“Your contact is wrongful, highly demanding, actionable, and exposes you to sustainable liability,” the letter continued.

On January 10, several other TikTokers shared alleged proof that Hailey reposted a video that featured Theis original video edited together with footage of the couple.

That same day, Hailey took to her Instagram Story to shut down the rumors, writing, “Hey! I know you guys who live on the internet are really bored, but I didn’t repost any video speaking on my relationship. Have a beautiful Saturday!”

In a statement shared with People, Theis said that her original video “is clearly opinion-based commentary about relationship dynamics and power. Attempts to intimidate or silence that kind of speech are concerning, not just for creators, but for public discourse as a whole. This situation isn’t about defamation; it’s about whether independent voices are allowed to express opinions about public and powerful figures without being met with legal pressure. It’s elitist to treat disagreement as something that should be erased. Disagreement is not defamation, and commentary should not require permission.”

Theis continued, “What’s also worth noting is the pattern of escalation that often follows moments like this. Since speaking out, I’ve received messages containing explicit threats of physical harm — real crimes — in response to an opinion. I’m not speculating about who is behind these messages, but I do find it notable that many originate from anonymous or faceless accounts. That kind of response doesn’t strengthen an argument; it reinforces why intimidation is such a corrosive force in public conversation.”
