The video was proceeded by this tweet: "Think before you say something hurtful to someone else. It may look like they're ok but they're not. Words are more powerful than you think. #stopbullying"
Now I don't want to take away from the Biebsters powerful message here. For those people that are bullied and look up to him, to see him post something like this could change their entire outlook. And honestly even for those people who idolize JBiebs and are doing the bullying, it could put a stop to their terrible actions. I have to admit I was even moved a bit by it myself. BUT I do have to point out the irony of the facts. Just hours before our beloved caring Biebs posted this tweet Selena Gomez was in an interview. What does that have to do with it you ask....well just read this comment from Miss Gomez as she speaks out about the negative (bullying) messages she receives from Bieber's female fans:
"Its hard. Its definitely affected me and I'll be honest with you completely, I haven't really talked about it but it hurts, it really does. Because I feel like I'm not doing anything wrong. I've been best friends with him for a very long time so it is very hard and it does hurt my feelings alot."
Interesting is it not, that just moments after Selena acknowledges she is bothered by the mean messages she receives Bieber publicly speaks out against bullying? I'm not saying he doesn't care for those people out there that are victims or need help, but it does appear as if this was posted in an attempt to help his leading lady. Will it work? Who knows, it almost seems that anything Beiber decides to publicize on Twitter just adds fuel to the fire. I will say though attempts were made today to trend "#stopbullyingselena" and I did see a few more positive messages about the Disney Princess, but we'll see how long that lasts. Selena did continue possibly a little too far though.....her next statement makes it seems as if she understands where Bieber's Beliebers are coming from therefore giving them free reign to continue:
"I will say I agree with them sometimes. I loved Jesse McCartney. I was obsessed with Jesse McCartney and he dated Katie Cassidy. I hated her, abosolutey hated her. I was moritfied that he was with Katie Cassidy and I wanted to be with him. He was my screensaver and it was horrible."
This might have been a bad move on Selena's part, because now girls will feel they have even more of a right to send her vengeful, hateful, and even threatening messages....I mean she did say she "agrees with them sometimes." That girl needs to cast a protective charm and she needs to do it quick!
I will note that she has recently acquired a bodyguard. Which by all means I shouldn't find funny, but I kinda do haha! She really is in some legitimate danger though. It just makes me laugh that such extremes have to be take just by dating Justin Bieber. But there are definitely some crazies out there and they'll do just about anything to make sure "their" Bieber stays theirs.
How do you feel about all this my fellow Beliebers? Will Justin's attempt to stop bullying lead to an end in the death threats sent to his lovely lass? Or will it continue all the same? I'm not sure myself, and even though I don't know exactly how I feel toward the newly publicized duo, I gotta admit I feel a little bad for the girl. I mean DEATH THREATS, come on Beliebers! We're here for Justin no matter what.....He smiles we smile right?! Death threats really aren't necessary.
One last side note before I go....Selena did in fact confirm that the Biebster's earlier tweet was to her. That's right, the "L" word has definitely been exchanged between the twosome and apparently it's not new news. Selena was completely comfortable talking about it and when asked if she was angered by the fact that the Biebs made it so public this was her response:
"What girl would be mad that someone said that, like someone special said that, so no I was fine."
Look at these two love birds just taking off in flight! How precious. However, they better be cautious because there's definitely some hunters out there with their eye on Selena. Pecking the princess from flight and taking her place is exactly what some girls dream about!
Are they really sending her death threats lol? I know I shouldn't laugh but holy crap that's intense.
ReplyDeleteOh yes JBiebs does have some VERY VERY over protective fans! here just a couple of the messages, and I can imagine they're are many many more. I found one Twitter yesterday whos goal was to harrass Selena so much that she has to block them....come on people!!

I actually saw that video like 2 days before this blog on twitter from Ellen, which I think she was sent from JBiebs. I don't know when that interview was though...
ReplyDeleteinteresting! but it's a bit more of a statement when the biebster posts it...one because he has 8 mil followers lol, and two bc his target audience is those in middle school slash going into high school aka the most likely time for bullying to be going on
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, I was just commenting because you mentioned the coincidence between Selena's interview and him posting this...and I had already seen it somewhere else, mentioned by him
ReplyDeleteOh gotcha gotcha! Ya the biebster regularly speaks out about bullying, he even has a little segment about it at his concerts, that's why i kept saying I didnt wanna take away from the message he was portraying, the timing was just very ironic!
