While some wished Justin a speedy recovery, there were some who mocked the singer and his health condition that he was facing. His supermodel wife Hailey Baldwin, came out in support of the singer and condemned trolls for mocking him for suffering from Lyme disease.
Hailey tweeted and lashed out at those on social media, who had been ‘belittling’ the news of her husband’s sickness.
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. Making fun of and belittling a disease you don’t understand is never the way, all it takes is educating yourself.
