Justin Bieber’s longtime friend and former right-hand man, Ryan Good, has reportedly distanced himself from the singer—and the rift stems from Bieber’s close relationship with pastor Judah Smith.
Sources reveal Good, who served as Bieber’s road manager and creative director for Drew House, hasn’t spoken to the pop star in over a year after leaving Churchome, the Beverly Hills-based church where Smith serves as pastor and Bieber remains an active member.
According to insiders, Good grew uncomfortable with Churchome’s environment, which he allegedly viewed as cult-like, and decided to step away. The tension escalated when Bieber brought Smith onto the Drew House board—a move described as “weird” by those close to the situation, given Smith’s religious background rather than business expertise. Good and Smith reportedly clashed, further straining the dynamic.
Though Bieber and Smith have maintained a tight bond—even traveling together to Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII—Good has expressed concern for Justin’s well-being, particularly amid recent headlines about the singer’s behavior at Coachella, including a heated confrontation with paparazzi.
Sources close to Smith claim he holds no ill will toward Good and wishes him well, noting it was Good who initiated the distance. For now, the once-inseparable duo of Bieber and Good remains fractured, with the influence of Bieber’s spiritual circle at the center of the fallout.
The exact reasons behind Ryan’s departure remain unconfirmed by Justin himself, leaving room for more details to emerge as this story develops.
