In August, despite claiming they are just friends, Biebs posts a series of photographs with Sophia Richie. Haters abound in the comments on the young model’s Instagram and Justin threatens to turn the comments off, saying “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.”
Selena then comments on the picture: “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.”
Days later she apologizes on Snapchat and Justin deletes his Instagram account.
