Justin Bieber has been receiving negative press for his out-of-character behavior. But he’s decided to speak out against what he calls the “countless lies.” In an open letter to his fans, the teen idol slams reports that he’s headed to rehab and that his career is in jeopardy.

While he admits to making mistakes, he still knows that his heart is in the right place. “All this isn’t easy. I get angry sometimes. I’m human. I’m gonna make mistakes. In gonna grow and get better from them. But all the love from you guys overcomes the negativity,” he says.

In his original letter, he shot back at those who likened him to another troubled young star. “And to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements,” he wrote before removing the comment.
