Justin Bieber indulged in a night on the town this week with his controversial friend, former Disney Channel child star Kyle Massey.
Over the past few months fans have been harboring concerns over Justin’s health owing in part to his gaunt, hollow-eyed appearance.
He has also been trailed by rumors of marital strife with his wife Hailey Bieber and has since alluded to their relationship problems on his new album, while also affirming his commitment to her and their one-year-old son Jack Blues.
Now he has shared an Instagram post about his outing with Kyle this Wednesday at the West Hollywood nightclub Zouk, where they were attending an album release party for Gunna’s latest project The Last Wun.
The social media album included an image of Justin sitting close to Kyle, who was largely obscuring his face with one of his arms.
Kyle, 33 – who shot to fame on That’s So Raven as the title character’s little brother Cory Baxter – entered the headlines four years ago when he staunchly denied allegations that he sent pornographic images to a 13-year-old girl.

In Justin’s new Instagram album about the Zouk party, he also posted a video taken of a crowd of revelers on the dance floor including him and Kyle.
The pair are longtime pals and were first thrust into the spotlight together back in 2015 when the singer’s friend Lil Twist was sentenced to one year in jail for breaking into Kyle’s apartment and robbing his brother Chris Massey in November 2014.
Lil Twist pled no contest to six charges at the time.
In July 2021 Kyle was charged with a felony for immoral communication with a minor over allegations he sent pornographic material to a 13-year-old girl.
Kyle said in a statement through his attorney, Lee Hutton, at the time: ‘No child should ever be exposed to sexually explicit materials and I unequivocally and categorically deny any alleged misconduct.’
This came just days after a report from The Daily Beast brought to light even more allegations against the actor in which several women came forward claiming Kyle’s behavior was part of a predatory pattern.
The publication spoke with several women who alleged that they had communicated with Kyle while they were teenagers in high school over various social media apps including Snapchat and Instagram.

This criminal charge followed a civil lawsuit filed in March 2019, which sought $1.5 million in damages for similar allegations. The civil case was dropped in December 2019 after the plaintiff’s lawyer withdrew.
While Justin was out with Kyle this Wednesday night, Hailey was indulging in a girls’ night in the same neighborhood at the swank restaurant Alba.
She was accompanied by a claque of friends including Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and transgender model Alex Consani.
Although Justin addressed their marital issues on his new album Swag, he and Hailey have maintained a united front while he promotes the project.
Earlier this week he posted a loved-up Instagram album that included pictures of them snuggling up to each other and lounging side by side on picnic blankets.
