Hailey Bieber Clapped Back at People Trying to "Downplay" Justin Bieber's Lyme Disease
Just hours after Justin Bieber revealed that he was diagnosed and "overcoming" Lyme disease, his wife, Hailey Bieber, shut down Twitter users that were making fun of Justin and belittling his struggles. In a series of Tweets, she called out the trolls' ignorance and told them to educate themselves on the severity and seriousness of Lyme disease.
"For those who are trying to downplay the severity of Lyme disease. Please do your research and listen to the stories of people who have suffered with it for years," Hailey tweeted. "Making fun of and belittling a disease you don't understand is never the way, all it takes is educating yourself."
