"In particular, his manager Scooter Braun, is really up in arms over it. Everything Justin does directly effects Scooter's career and his success. He feels like Justin should know better than to get caught up in all this."

And what's more, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned Justin's team feels like it's his own father, Jeremy Bieber, who is largely to blame for the Canadian pop star's recent rebellious behavior.

"Justin's dad — who was pretty absent from his life until he made it big — is a horrible influence on him," the source revealed.

"Justin got his piercings and all the tattoos because of his dad, and while his camp can't tell him to stay away from his father, they're gently trying to limit Jeremy's influence on Justin."

Just hours after the photos of Justin allegedly smoking marijuana went public he tweeted, "“i see all of u. i hear all of u. i never want to let any of you down. i love u. and..thank u #beliebers.
