Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber feud that rocked social media, look back

Selena Gomez, affectionately known to her legion of fans as the Queen of Selenators, found herself amidst a whirlwind of controversy with Justin Bieber in 2016. It all began when Justin Bieber, perhaps irked by the deluge of negative comments on his then rumored relationship with Sofia Richie, issued a stern warning to fans, threatening to privatize his Instagram. The post was a magnet for drama, pulling in none other than Selena herself. "What I said was selfish and pointless," Gomez later confessed on Snapchat, a sentiment believed to reference her bold remarks on Bieber's Instagram.

In a heartfelt attempt to support the Beliebers, Selena reportedly quipped on Bieber’s post, "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." A noble sentiment, defending the fans, but one that spiraled into a heated exchange between the two artists, unearthing old wounds and accusations from their tumultuous Jelena days.
