This is complicated story full of a ridiculous amount of back-and-forth, so let me just do the basics. Justin Bieber has been on vacation and on tour with a 17-year-old “model” (cough) named Sofia Richie. As in, RICHIE. As in, she’s Lionel Richie’s daughter and Nicole Richie’s half-sister. She’s like the Kendall/Kylie Jenner of the Richies. Sofia turns 18 in a little more than a week, but would you allow your 17-year-old daughter/niece/sister to go on vacation with Justin Bieber? No. You would not.

So, Sofia and Justin have been living it up. Justin started posting a lot of coupled-up photos of himself and his new girlfriend, and his fans, the Beliebers, were not happy about it. Some say butthurt Beliebers flooded his Instagram with comments about how much they hated Sofia. But most of the comments I saw were pretty positive/cloying? But sure, there were some bad comments. So Justin posted this message: “I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate this is getting out of hand. If you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like.” This caused a backlash against Justin for some reason, with #RIPBeliebers trending on Twitter for hours and hours. Beliebers were upset that Justin was trying to tell them what to do, what to say and who they could and could not hate. I personally think Justin was trying to remind people they should try to be civil to his 17-year-old girlfriend, not to defend Baby Biebs or anything.

But the real drama came when Selena Gomez decided to comment on the same photos that Bieber had posted his threat to privatize his account. Selena wrote:

“Funny how the ones that cheated multiple times, are pointing the finger at the ones that were forgiving and supportive, no wonder fans are mad. Sad. All Love.

If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol – it should be special between you two only. Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you and supported you before any one ever did.”

Ouch. Selena then deleted those comments, but of course she only did so after everyone had seen them. Bieber then responded (without mentioning Selena directly) by writing: “It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love.” Ouch. Um, Selena was already doing her thing before she started dating Bieber, remember? And then he wrote: “I’m not one for anyone receiving hate. Hope u all can be kind to my friends and each other. And yes I love my Believers.”

So now Justin and Selena are beefing again because OMG STAHP. As for those Beliebers… it’s long past time for you kiddos to abandon Baby Biebz. He’s not a good person.
