Coming to Braun’s protection this week, Bieber claimed full duty for the publish and insisted his supervisor had nothing to with it. “I’ve to be trustworthy although it was my caption and publish that I screenshotted of Scooter and Kanye.” he mentioned.
However as Twitter person @Princess_Arella seen, there’s one massive drawback together with his assertion — if Bieber had taken the screenshot from his finish of the decision, he would have appeared within the top-left nook.

Opposite to what Bieber claims, both Braun (or probably West) will need to have taken the screenshot and despatched it to Bieber to publish on Instagram. Or Braun took it and posted it to Bieber’s account himself (it is common for celebrities’ managers to have entry to their purchasers’ social media accounts).
Representatives for Scooter Braun Tasks, which represents Bieber, did not reply to request for remark to substantiate how the screenshot taken from Braun’s finish of the decision ended up on Bieber’s Instagram account.
Not solely did Bieber declare that he took and posted the screenshot himself with the caption, however he mentioned that Braun suggested in opposition to him doing so. In the identical breath he mentioned they did not even focus on Taylor Swift on the decision. “He did not have something to do with it and it wasn’t even a part of the dialog in all actuality he was the one that informed me to not joke like that,” Bieber mentioned.
Followers on Twitter are speculating that Bieber could also be making an attempt to cowl for his supervisor — the irony being that if he hadn’t spoken up, the query of who captured the screenshot and Braun’s particular function within the incident may not have even been raised.
