It turns out it is too late now to say "sorry" to Justin Bieber who has shut down his popular Instagram account, enraging fans who have stood by him through bad hair, arrests, illegal Gold Coast graffiti, eggings and monkey negligence.
The 22-year-old singer has spat the social media dummy and logged off after threatening his 77 million followers earlier this week when he said he would turn his account private after images of him with his rumoured new paramour, 17-year-old Sofia Richie, daughter of Lionel, were trolled.
Earlier this year Justin Bieber said he wouldn't meet paying fans at his Purpose World Tour as they make him "depressed".

"If you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like."
But his core base of fans, the Beliebers – tweens and adults with too much time and data allowance on their hands – have seen it all before. Remember he's the boy who cried "I'm officially retiring" in 2013.

#RIPBieber trended on Twitter for more than a day and the social media fury was more heated than the time Andrew Bolt interviewed that anti-Islam church protester on live television.
"WAIT ... WHATS [sic] HAPPENING," one of the 459,000 comments said on the post.
"YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION," another chimed in.
"Beliebers please Block Justin in response. If he wants to shady. Let him be shady ... I've been 6 years in the family and I had never felt so stupid, so pathetic as now. So f--- you attitude," said another member of the pop star's peanut gallery.
"Don't listen to the hate, you're both better than that. These girls are jealous and jealousy is a snake. Your girlfriend is no snake boo boo. The jealous are. You keep doing you and these snakes will soon get what they deserve times 10 - the bible only speaks the truth," a rare supportive voice said.
Even his former girlfriend Selena Gomez jumped on the Bieber bashing bandwagon as a way to drum up some press of her own, coincidentally while she is on a world tour.
"If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol – it should be special between you two only. Don't be mad at your fans. They love you," she commented on the photo.
To which Bieber returned serve: "It's funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love."
"Funny how the ones that cheated multiple times, are pointing the finger at the ones that were forgiving and supportive, no wonder fans are mad. Sad. All Love," she clapped back as the internet collectively gasped.
If you, or someone you know, are a Belieber struggling with withdrawal symptoms, Bieber's Twitter and Facebook accounts are still active.
