The drama started when Justin took exception to what fans were saying about his new ladyfriend, Sofia Richie.

Then Selena stepped in: "If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol - it should be special between you two only," she wrote on his now-shuttered page. "Don't be mad at your fans.. They love you."

Justin responded: "It's funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love."
