People are convinced that Justin Bieber made a ‘shady’ post on Selena Gomez’s wedding day.
The internet drama machine is working overtime once again, and this time Bieber has found himself at the center of yet another social media storm.
As Gomez celebrated one of the biggest days of her life, fans are convinced her ex-boyfriend made a suspiciously timed post that has everyone talking.
This past weekend, Gomez tied the knot with producer Benny Blanco in an intimate, star-studded ceremony in Santa Barbara.
With close friends, including Taylor Swift, and her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin in attendance, the couple exchanged vows wearing custom Ralph Lauren.
Fans flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating Selena’s happiness after years of very public relationship struggles.
But as the wedding festivities were underway, less than 100 miles from Los Angeles, the ‘Baby’ singer decided to make a move that left people questioning his timing.
Bieber and Gomez’s relationship has been the subject of intense public scrutiny since they first started dating in 2010, when they were just 16 and 18 years old.
Their on-and-off romance lasted until March 2018, with many fans convinced throughout that they would eventually marry.
That didn’t happen. Instead, Bieber married Hailey just six months after his final split from Gomez, a timeline that has fueled speculation and drama ever since.
In her Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me, Gomez opened up about the aftermath of their relationship, saying: “I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of. But then I just moved past it. I wasn’t afraid anymore.”
In the questionable post, Bieber shared a carousel of photos on Instagram showing himself playing basketball at The League court in LA.
On the surface, it seemed like just another day-in-the-life post from the pop star – but it was his choice of soundtrack that raised eyebrows across the internet.
The song? His own track ‘I Do,’ a romantic ballad he wrote about his marriage to wife Hailey.
The timing struck many as bizarre at best, calculated at worst.
The comment section quickly became a battleground.
Critics didn’t hold back, with one person writing: “You lost her, get over her,” while another added bluntly: “The love of your life just got married.”
The jokes came rolling in too. “Benny: I do! Justin: I do too!” quipped one user, while another remarked: “Song choice is wild.”
Some fans were genuinely baffled by what they perceived as poor judgment.
“A song about your wedding in a basketball photo, one wants to help but this man doesn’t cooperate,” one person commented.
Not everyone was convinced the post was shady, though.
Bieber’s defenders were quick to jump in, pointing out that he’s moved on with his own life. He’s married to Hailey and they share a son.
“Don’t think JB cares at all, he’s married to super hottie Hailey Rhode Bieber!” insisted one supporter.
“He’s married with a baby, he’s been over it, teeny boppers need to get over it,” added another, arguing that fans are reading too much into an innocent post.
Others suggested the parasocial nature of celebrity culture has gotten out of hand.
“Cryptic or just his own post and he didn’t lose anyone he has a wife and a kid and his happy lmao. Like people are freaks who need to move on the parasocial relationships are ruining lives,” one fan argued.
