Fans convinced troubled Justin Bieber made thinly veiled dig at ex Selena Gomez
Justin Bieber's latest rapid-fire social media posts have led some fans to suggest they might be thinly veiled digs at his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez's expense.
The 31-year-old pop superstar has lately been reposting a stream of memes and original posts to his Instagram grid and Stories, but two from Wednesday evoked the ire of his ex's fans.
One offending post featured a clip of Gollum from the Lord Of The Rings films as he finally regains control of the One Ring, just before he and the ring are cast into the flames of Mordor.
'Girls on social media when they get engaged,' the original poster captioned the clip, which shows Gollum holding the ring in the air and gazing at it lustily.
Shortly after Justin posted the meme on Wednesday, fans began reposting it and speculating that he was poking fun at Selena, who got engaged in December 2024 to the music producer Benny Blanco after dating for about a year.
The latest controversy for Bieber comes amid fears for Justin's marriage to Hailey Bieber and fan concerns for his physical and mental health after an insider told DailyMail.com that the singer has been acting 'manic, not sleeping' and 'hardly eating.'
