Justin Bieber has gone nuclear in his war with fans of ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez by deleting his Instagram account. By Tuesday morning, his Instagram account with more than 77 million followers was gone. Bieber hasn't commented, but Richie posted on Twitter Monday, "Justin is not shutting out his beliebers. He's thankful everyday for y'all, y'all got him here.. Gomez appeared to touch on the controversy in a Snapchat post early Tuesday morning, writing "what I said was selfish and pointless."
