Fake Tweet About Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Having Lice Blows Up Online

You know how people always say children sometimes act out in order to gain attention? Well apparently, the same applies to some of those who are active in the Twittersphere.

In this scenario, a person dragged Hailey and Justin Bieber into the mess. The person's account, which was later figured out to be a Miley Cyrus stan page, reported the newlywed couple had lice, and even added a fake quote from the model, which grossed a lot of people out.

The account tricked many Twitter users by disguising itself as the Pop Crave account, according to Buzzfeed. Some of the users figured out the tweet wasn't real eventually, however, pointing out the Twitter handle was different from Pop Crave's official account.

Complex reported that the account had gone private amid massive online backlash, but it is now public once again.

Some faith in the social media generation was restored when the owner of the account apologized to Hailey and Justin, admitting that he or she didn’t think the joke would garner that much attention.

This just goes to show, pretty much anything can go viral in the age of social media and even stan accounts have to be careful with what they say online.

Neither Hailey nor Justin commented on the rumors and allowed the mess to blow over organically.
