Thought experiment: Would you rather have your Instagram hacked, OR have your ex hacked and your nude photos leaked on their account? Something to debate around the dinner table tonight, but unfortunately, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber didn’t get to choose—Gomez’s account was infiltrated on Monday, and Bieber’s nekked pics were posted. Again!
It’s also relevant that with 125 million followers, Gomez is the app’s most followed person. Nevertheless, the account was quickly deactivated and restored a short time later, nudes since replaced with customary photos of Gomez eating a tube of lipstick and being crushed under an enormous Coach purse. According to CBS News:
When Gomez’s account went down, Kirsten Stubbs, the Digital Marketing Director at Interscope Records, tweeted that Gomez’s record label had intentionally shut down the account.
“We deactivated with Instagram to ensure it’s secure before relaunching! Hang tight,” Stubbs tweeted in response to one of Gomez’s fans.
Also, we’ve seen Bieber’s nudes before, and can confirm he’s basically got nothing to be embarrassed about.
