A source close to Justin Bieber has confirmed what we've suspected for months:
The singer's recent troubles - from pot smoking to hanging out with Lil Twist to spitting on his neighbor - can all be traced to his split from Selena Gomez in late 2012.
Bieber was "torn apart" by the break-up, an insider tells TMZ, and he hasn't been able to sufficiently recover because Gomez continues to call and text.
The mixed messages have left Justin "tortured," according to this same mole.
Just last week, Bieber stopped by Selena's house on his way out of the country, likely to either mend fences or urge his ex to make up her mind in one direction or the other.
It was a smart move because Bieber has clearly been expressing his anger and bitterness over the split in healthy, inappropriate, often illegal ways.
What do you think? Should Justin and Selena get back together?
