Today is a very sad day for Justin Bieber’s super-fans.

Apparently, their years of

stalking

admiration and

viciously trolling any woman he dates

protective instincts have been FOR NOTHING.

Yep, after the singer’s “Beliebers” relentlessly bullied his new 17-year-old girlfriend Sofia Richie, he’s gone and donethe unthinkable.

Bieber has deleted his Instagram account.

*gasps* *lights dull* *dramatic music starts playing*

Is it too late now to say sorry?

If you ask me, the Beliebers probably should've seen this one coming, considering it was only hours ago theSorrysinger posted a photo with his new flame and warned fans toback the eff off.

"I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like," Justin wrote to his 77.8 million followers on Monday.

Shortly after, he made his account private. Then he briefly made it public again. THEN he really chucked a wobbly and decided to trash the whole goddamn thing.

What a fiasco.

Obviously, the super fans did what all good super fans do, and turned on their idol by creating a nasty hashtag: #JustinDeactivatedParty

As you would expect, the response has been bloody Epic-with-a-capital-E.

See what I mean? (P.S. If anyone knows who the hell 'Matty B' is can they pls let me know???)

Here are some of our favourite reactions.

Does anyone else find itreally not-at-all surprisingthat Justin picked his significant other over a bunch of strangers on the internet... or is that just me?

Ah, celebrities and their crazy weird fans.

Never change.
