It seems like only yesterday Justin Bieber was threatening to set his Instagram to private if his fans didn’t stop “hating” on his new ladyfriend, 17-year-old model Sofia Richie (daughter of Lionel Richie), but that was actually two days ago. Yesterday was when we wrote about how Selena Gomez totally “ended” Beiber with some hard truths about appreciating one’s fans if one does not want to appear to be a spoiled brat (as one possibly is).
How much things change in a day. Bieber didn’t seem happy with how fans reacted to his social media accounts or to Gomez’s smackdown, because he didn’t set his Instagram to private; he flat-out just deleted it:

Strangely, the last thing he liked before he deleted his account was someone’s video about how much Bieber loves his fans. Okay then.
Gomez, on the other hand, posted a somewhat vague apology of sorts via Snapchat, saying “What I said was selfish and pointless.”

I ain’t mad atchya.
Twitter, meanwhile, was soaking up every ounce of the drama with a #JustinDeactivatedParty:

And some were having a harder time dealing with it:

And there was a piece of good advice scattered amongst the schadenfreude:

Some couldn’t help but give credit:

And some of his fans are left to wonder, well, what now?

But some people still know how to look at the big picture:

That’s almost certainly fake, but it wouldn’t surprise us if a member of the “Keeping Up With…” family were enjoying all this drama (from afar for a change).
