Yahoo News Justin Bieber DELETES Instagram Account After Backlash Over New Girlfriend
All aboard the internet drama express! Justin Bieber has deleted his Instagram account days after threatening to quit the social media site over abuse directed at his new girlfriend Sofia Richie.

The Sorry (#NotSorry) singer has followed through on his earlier warning to fans, with his account – the scene of much of the drama – replaced by an error message telling followers that the page “isn’t available.”
The full message reads: “Sorry, this page isn’t available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.”

This comes after Justin, 22, threatened fans with privatising his account after receiving “hate” filled messages, which then lead on to a bizarre war of words between the Canadian and his ex-girlfriend Selena, 24.
The former Disney star wasn’t a fan of JB’s attitude towards his fans and let him know in the comments, but this soon escalated into a Ping-Pong match of insults, with Justin claiming that the Good For You singer used him for fame.

And then, according to unverified Instagram screengrabs, Selena accused Justin of cheating on her, and then he apparently hit back to suggest that she cheated on him with One Direction’s Zayn Malik. All clear?
Good, because Hailey Baldwin – another of Justin’s former flames – appeared to wade into the deep drama waters too, last night (Aug 15), even though she has since insisted that she is not part of the now famous feud.
According to People, Justin unfollowed Hailey on Instagram, and she cryptically wrote on the site: “We’ve all had our fair share of things we’ve done, both good and bad.
“What makes the present so powerful is when we take complete responsibility for our actions, we allow ourselves self-growth. Misplacing the blame onto someone else isn’t going to get you to the next stage in life, so try not to manipulate a situation to make yourself look better.”

Despite her impeccable timing, Hailey confirmed on Twitter that her wise (and very specific) words were about “life in general.” Oh, alright then.
Now in the aftermath of all of this, another Twitter party has started under the hashtag ‘Justin Deactivated Party’, and Selena – who had an on-and-off relationship with the star between 2011 and 2014 – has posted a note on Snapchat.
Seemingly feeling bad about the affair, she wrote: “What I said was selfish and pointless.”

But is it too late now to say sorry?
