Star accidentally tweets revealing photo, takes it down almost immediately

Here’s something that not even the most imaginative Beliebers ever thought they would get to see: over the weekend, Justin Bieber accidentally tweeted (presumably) a photo of himself mooning whoever was taking the photo.

The cropped image is attached to this article, but trust us when we say that the full image revealed quite a lot of this young star’s physique.

Us Weekly reports that the photo was online for enough time to be saved on fans’ computers, shared, liked and commented on, after which The Biebs himself deleted it.

Hence, the assumption that it was never meant to go public after all.

“Wearing a black tank top, a baseball hat and aviator sunglasses, the ‘Beauty and the Beat’ singer peers over his shoulder in the image. Bieber deleted the image shortly after it was posted to his official account, though it had already been liked more than 15,000 times and received more than 2,700 comments,” the celebrity publication writes.

By the looks of the snap, it was taken on the red carpet at some recent promo event.

“Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, joked about the picture via Twitter. ‘As a prankster you have to respect another good prank,’ he wrote. ‘Only makes sense. #crackdealer.’ Bieber's succinct reply: ‘Haha’,” Us further says.

Even though he’s showing the same sense of humor and good disposition as always on social media, Justin might be going through heartbreak, if recent reports are to believed.

Over the weekend, for instance, Selena Gomez, his on and off girlfriend, with whom he split shortly after New Year’s, covered Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” in concert, in what many interpreted as the kiss-off for the much mediated teen romance.

They’ve been on breaks before but, this time, it’s for good, insiders are telling the tabs: Selena has dumped him and wants nothing to do with him anymore.
