Fans think Justin Bieber is shading ex Selena Gomez’s engagement with this ‘embarrassing’ meme
Fans are claiming Justin Bieber shaded his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez’s engagement to Benny Blanco after he shared a meme to his Instagram Story on Wednesday.
The meme in question featured a scene from “The Lord of the Rings” when Gollum holds up a gold ring to his eyes in awe.
The text along with the clip notably read, “Girls on social media when they get engaged.”
It didn’t take long for netizens on social media to speculate about the meaning behind the “Sorry” singer’s cryptic post.

“Justin Bieber going crazy because of Selena’s engagement?? Karma is real,” one person posted via X, along with lyrics from Gomez and Blanco’s new song “How Does It Feel to be Forgotten.”
“Oh this is embarrassing. Mind you he started crashing out after Selena’s engagement 
,” another person wrote.
A third user commented, “Such an immature omg, he’s a FATHER of a baby, it’s been almost a decade when will he get over it
.”
Reps for Bieber, 31, and Gomez, 32, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The “Only Murders in the Building” star announced her engagement to Blanco, 37, via Instagram in December 2024 after dating for over a year.
At the time, she proudly flaunted her custom marquise diamond ring, which was designed by the music producer and the jewelry duo behind Abril Barret.
But fans believe newly engaged Gomez still took aim at Bieber on her and Blanco’s joint album, “I Said I Love You First” — which dropped last month.
On “How Does It Feel to be Forgotten,” the pop star sings, “You’re so embarrassing / Go cry when no one’s watchin’ / I can’t imagine it / How does it feel to be forgotten (Ah), forgotten? (Ah-ah).”
