When you’re in a can’t-move-on-from-your-ex competition and your opponent is Justin Bieber… well, good luck. He’s been winning that one for years now—and his latest Instagram Story is just more proof.
It’s been a messy few months for the exes. Between cryptic lyrics, suspicious TikToks, and not-so-subtle social media moves, fans are convinced the whole Jelena era is being dragged back into the spotlight—whether they like it or not.
Selena Gomez recently dropped “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten?”, and many listeners think it’s about Justin. Lyrics like “You’re so embarrassin’” and “He loves me, I love him” had people screaming that it was a public goodbye to her past and a big ol’ kiss to her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
Justin Bieber Shared a Meme that Might Get Selena Very Upset
Just when things seemed to settle, Justin Bieber decided to stir the pot again—intentionally or not. He posted a meme on his Instagram Story featuring The Lord of the Rings’ Gollum obsessively holding the One Ring, with the caption: “Girls on social media when they get engaged.”
Fans immediately took it as a dig at Selena’s recent engagement. The timing, the context, the entire vibe—it was giving bitter ex energy.

“Move On, Bro”—The Internet Reacts
The internet, of course, lost it. Tweets and TikToks poured in calling out Justin Bieber for being a whole married man with a baby and still throwing digital jabs at his ex from a decade ago.
Reminder: Justin married Hailey Bieber in 2018, and they welcomed their first baby, Jack Blues Bieber, in 2024. So why does it still seem like he’s more bothered about Selena’s engagement than the rest of the world?
Some fans tried defending him, saying the meme was just a general joke—but let’s be real, the internet doesn’t forget, and Bieber’s history of timely posts doesn’t help his case.
Selena, meanwhile, has stayed classy and quiet, focusing on her glow-up, her man, and her music. And maybe that silence is the real clap back.
