In recent weeks, Justin Bieber has notably narrowed his circle of close friends. Those in his former social sphere are increasingly expressing unease, raising questions about his potential vulnerability to influences within a church community. Speculations have arisen that this atmosphere might resemble a cult, albeit such accusations have been fervently denied by the pastor involved.
The unfolding narrative has gained attention through the new documentary titled “Nova Play Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber,” now available on Hulu. This series delves deeper into Bieber’s evolving relationship with Churchome, a church based in Beverly Hills.

Among the more striking details is Justin’s estrangement from Ryan Good, a longtime confidant who not only served as his best man but also contributed significantly as the creative director for Bieber’s fashion label, Drew House. Sources suggest that this breakup stems from Ryan’s departure from Churchome which he described as overly manipulative.
Responding to the growing scrutiny, Bieber’s pastor, Judah Smith, humorously dismissed the allegations of cult-like tendencies, quipping, “What kind of cult meets once a month?”
Reports have indicated that both Justin and Judah confronted Scooter Braun, challenging his Jewish beliefs around Jesus and pressing Ryan about his personal choices, adding further layers to the situation.
Moreover, the involvement of Justin’s business manager, a Churchome member, has raised additional concerns, complicating the narrative further. This documentary not only explores these dynamics but also highlights Bieber’s ongoing struggles with mental health, marital difficulties, and various professional challenges.
For those curious to delve deeper into this unfolding drama, the documentary “Nova Play Presents: What Happened to Justin Bieber?” is currently streaming on Hulu.
