Viral picture shows Justin Bieber reportedly liking and unliking post about Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco — fanbases erupt once more

Justin Bieber recently did something that made the Jelena fanbase abuzz. The singer liked, then unliked, an Instagram post celebrating Selena Gomez's relationship with Benny Blanco. Even though all this took place in a matter of seconds, it feels like internet detectives are always on the lookout, monitoring everything.

This may quite possibly be a screenshot hoax, but it is circulating all over the internet. There are those claiming that it is absolutely not real, but others are examining the time difference from when the screenshot was captured to when it was posted.

Fans are saying that there is no way someone would be able to snap the screenshot and then edit it on such short notice.

As you would expect, both Justin Bieber's and Selena Gomez's fan bases are raging. Beliebers are sticking up for their star, and Selenators are enjoying themselves.

On an average day, when the two stars aren't even related, the two fan bases still argue over who is obsessed with whom. Even the fans of Hailey Bieber are chiming in—everyone knows why.

It's probably, at this point, the longest debate in history.

Now that Justin Bieber has poured gasoline on the fire, the Internet is abuzz.

Some are declaring that he's obsessed, and others say he may have unintentionally liked the post. But even the possibility of unintentionally liking it is being mocked.

Netizens joke that although he liked and unliked it, he only made matters worse. They're claiming he should have just moved on instead.

Social media reacts as Justin Bieber reportedly likes and unlikes a post about Selena Gomez

Some of the users are joking that the chitchat is always that Selena is "obsessed" with Justin, and now he's liking her pictures.

Meanwhile, some are teasing that Hailey Bieber will likely claim, "It was just a glitch," or something along those lines. Others are laughing and saying that the entire ordeal looks like a 2016 Tumblr post.

A user @Concrete_Josh poked fun, saying:

"Oh but Selena was obsessed…"

Another user @horejsiii added:

"Hailey will say it glitched again like always."

A user @Harubuniz joked:

"Why does this feel like a 2016 Tumblr post came to life again 😩"

Some people aren’t buying it, claiming the screenshots circulating around the internet are fabricated and nothing actually occurred.

Meanwhile, other unbothered users have likely taken a bowl of popcorn, reclining to watch the entire drama play out. They're claiming that one like has ignited one of the largest pop culture controversies again.

A user @letjustinkook said:

"On today’s episode of things that did NOT happen."

Another user @nutwaifuz said:

"He really said “oops” with his whole soul 😭"

A user @nutwaifuz mentioned:

"Not the accidental like stirring the Jelena vs Benny drama again 💀"

Netizens are roasting, making a joke that they could teach both of them how to create a fake profile and stalk someone.

Some are even claiming that Justin Bieber liked Selena's photo, and then his followers went ahead to make false images where Selena is liking Justin's photos, and that it is embarrassing.

A user @WilliamBoweryTS stated:

"Wait for them to say “it’s a glitch”, “got hacked” AGAIN 😂"

Another user, @Giulye77a, jokingly mentioned:

"I can teach him how to make a fake profile."

A user @pradararez tweeted:

"so Justin Bieber likes a post about Selena and Benny and the first thing his stans do is create multiple fake screenshots of Selena liking posts about him instead of focusing on one only which would’ve been more believable.. just stupid as hell 😭"

Complex posted photos of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, and whether or not Justin Bieber liked them remains a mystery. But the photos are going viral on the internet, and fans are loving it.

It may all be a hoax, or it may not be, but either way, it's providing both fanbases with another reason to squabble.
