Remember the time before social media? Those drama-free days before Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, where if you wanted to make a dig at someone you had to wait for the opportune moment IRL? And then the only proof of your over-rehearsed burn was what she said he said she said.
Oh, the easy days.
It’s probably a time that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez WISH they were a part of, because things have just got REALLY publically messy between the pair on an Instagram pic. Cheating accusations were flying everywhere AND there was mention of a certain boybander’s involvement.
WE KNOW.
Needless to say the social media sphere is currently going into meltdown. As are we.
And the proof is in the screengrabs - soz guys.
For anyone who has been living under a rock for the last few weeks, Justin has been sharing a rather robust variety of pictures on his channels. They include everything from a very naked dalliance with his rumoured current beau, Sofia Richie, in a very Mowgli-esque snap, to some goofy photos of the two in the back of a car.
With the latter, Justin threatened to make his Insta private if his fans didn’t stop leaving mean comments about his lady friend.
“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,” he captioned the photo.
And you’ll never guess who commented.
ONLY FLIPPIN’ SELENA GOMEZ HERSELF.
Yep, the Disney star and Justin’s ex got involved, writing: “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. They were there for you before anyone,”
Think Justin would let it lie? NAH, course not. He went on to respond to Selena by saying: “It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love … [sic],”
We're pretty sure Selena was famous before, but okay.
Still with us? Stay focused, because this is where Selena dropped a HUGE bombshell …
“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,” she wrote.
AHMAHGAD WHAT. And THEN Justin dropped this:
“I cheated .. oh I forgot about You and Zayn? [sic]”
HOLY GUCAMOLE. What is even real anymore?! Did Justin actually cheat on Selena ‘multiple’ times? And is the Zayn in question the one of ex-One Direction fame? Can it all be? Why are all the celebs turning on eachother so publically? Can’t everyone just be friends?
Our brains hurt. We’re off for a rest.
