Justin Bieber Quits Instagram Why Fans Are Fleeing

Thought You’d Always Be Online

Trouble is brewing in the Justin Bieber Fandom with Bielibers in panic over the loss of their icon on social media. Some of his fans posted hundreds of hateful messages in response to a photo of him and supposed new love interest Sophia Richie with hashtags like #teamselena and snake emojis. They just can’t seem to get over the breakup, poor kids.  Justin warned “I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate,” he wrote in a caption of a black and white photo of himself and Richie. “This is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like.”

Selena Weighs In

Bieber’s ex, singer Selena Gomez, added in her her two cents to the already hateful conversation. “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol – it should be special between you two only,” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “Don’t be mad at your fans,” Gomez added. “They love you.” Bieber clapped back by commenting, “It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love.”

#JUSTINDEACTIVATEDPARTY

I guess he couldn’t believe how far his Bielibers would go and followed through on his promise by deleting his Instagram completely. The hastag #JustinDeactivatedParty began trending on Twitter August 16th with fans of Selena, Justin and One Direction chiming in the most. #TeamSelena was happy to see him go, still bitter about his public relationship. One Directioners pointed out that even though their icons received hate they never handled it by deleting their accounts. Justin’s fans were devastated.

Justin Bieber has made great strides over the past few years to make amends from his very public teenage rebellious phase fit for a millionaire pop star. However in coming into his own he has developed some rules in relation to fan access. Bieber penned a short note on Instagram this past May informing his followers that will no longer pose with fans for selfies.

“If you happen to see me out somewhere know that I’m not gonna take a picture I’m done taking pictures,” he wrote. “It has gotten to the point that people won’t even say hi to me or recognize me as a human, I feel like a zoo animal and I wanna be able to keep my sanity.”

In March of this year he announced the cancellation of meet and greets during his “Purpose” tour which left some fans in tears. “Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression.” he explains.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Fans have not taken Justin’s slide into recluse easily. I’m not sure how private a young popstar can expect to be. He refused to hug a fan while in the mall of all places. I’m sure his bank account affords him a more private shopping experience. Nonetheless Bielibers feel Justin is taking their money and offering little in return.

Seeing Justin live in concert is great and all but what about all the time he isn’t touring. His fans now have no way to connect with him. Social media allows fans insight into their favorite stars and has really increased communication between far and star. Leaving Instagram altogether is just another move to distance himself from his fans while still reaping the monetary benefits of the Bielibers. They are taking notice.
Is it too Late to Say Sorry?

Selena Gomez posted a short message on Snapchat late Monday night after Justin deleted his Instagram account. She took a more morose tone and wrote ‘What I said was selfish and pointless.’. People are still questioning her motives for going after Justin in the first place.

Justin could have just disabled comments on his posts. This fact was pointed out to him hundreds of times by concerned fans during the period before he deleted the account. No one is sure if this is a permanent delete or if he merely disabled it. Either way I predict a few more trending hashtags on the subject in the days to follow.
