As we know, Justin Bieber cancelled the rest of his way-too-long Purpose Tour so he can focus on his faith and sustainability. I guess he’s done that and now has enough free time on his hands to surf the internet for his next hookup. A young lady named Jessica Gober works for Fitness on Broughton gym in Savannah, Georgia. Recently, the gym posted this Boomerang of her promoting an energy drink to their Instagram:
When they posted this, by the way, the gym only had about 70 followers, none of whom were Bieber. Lo and behold, Bieber swooped in with a DM asking about who she was and planted a big ol’ heart emoji, just in case anyone was unclear why he was asking. The gym told Jessica and she posted a screengrab to Twitter:
Did this actually just happen… lmao
Justin Bieber just messaged the gym that I work at and asked who I was hahahaha WTF pic.twitter.com/mktcdB1iDP— Jessi (@jessicagober) August 9, 2017
Of course, her tweet went viral and everyone weighed in on what she should do next. Most suggested she take advantage of Bieber’s affections as she may profit from it. Or, more succinctly, “omg get that money”. Jessica, though, is happily involved with someone and let her internet guidance counselors know as much:

However, Jessica, her boyfriend and her family aren’t creeped out by Bieber’s random ping, just shocked that it happened.
She said: “I didn’t post the pictures of my boyfriend because I thought that Justin Bieber wanted to ‘get with me’, I posted them in response to everyone commenting that I ‘ruined my chances with Justin by tweeting the screenshots’. Either way I didn’t want a ‘chance’ because I am perfectly happy with my boyfriend.”
She said: “All of the articles that have been posted have been based only on assumptions. We didn’t think Justin Bieber was being creepy, the gym did respond to him on Instagram. I don’t think he had any inappropriate intentions by simply asking who I was.”
I dunno, I find it a little creepy. Remember, this isn’t the first time Bieber has sought out randoms online. However, Bieber fans not only thought it was perfectly acceptable, they think Jessica should get over herself because he just casually wondered who she was, he didn’t say she was Queen of Prettyville – OKAY?!
Justin just asked who you were, it's not like he asked you to marry him. pic.twitter.com/GQhGJwOX2v

You get the idea. So, did Bieber by chance stumble across the photo of a young lady he thought might be interested in hearing about his thoughts on Purpose? No, of course not, he was looking to score and I don’t even want to know how he came by the post in the first place. Jessica said she is surprised at how much attention this is getting. She’s receiving a healthy dose of hate for posting it, I don’t blame her though – Justin Bieber popped up on a DM out of the blue asking about her: I’d make a t-shirt out of that. I’m not too worried about her. Scrolling through her Twitter feed, she’s pretty funny. I think she’ll weather this little media storm and probably emerge from it with a huge client roster as a result.
If I see one more pic of food on here I'm going to eat my phone

I doesn’t matter how she responds in this situation, his fans will still hate her. They’re just too far gone in their craziness.
Is that a recent photo of him, the one at the top in the green hoodie? He looks like he’s on hard drugs.
She and her boyfriend are gorgeous couple. Both of them, fine as hell.
He’s aging hard
Justin was so trying to hook up with her. Why else ask about some woman you don’t know? His fans are stupid. Her boyfriend is way better looking than Justin and probably much nicer.
She is cute and the boyfie is cute too. Yes, Beliebers, he is trying to hook up with her.
That is super creepy. Your Co workers shouldn’t be passing along personal information.
his “mustache” is so disgusting
I think he’s going for “musketeer”, but he arrived at “mange”.
That is comedic gem! Thanks for the laugh.
Her current partner is about 5 million times hotter than this adult-sized toddler, so it sucks that she’s been made to feel egotistical for her response. Don’t walk it back, girl; you
DO have everything you need right there (as long as he’s as respectful and loving as he is handsome, of course).
So sad that she was thirsty enough to post screenshots and go all wtf when she was clearly thrilled. So sad that Bieber’s fans are this…engaged. *shudders*
If Justin wasn’t famous he’d be one of those creepy douche guys on tinder who send unsolicited dick pics after you respond to a message that just says hey.
This is so awful, I doubt Bieber knows but a bloke in Australia was recently charged with 900 – yes NINE HUNDRED – child sex offences after he posed as Justin online. He would allegedly sexually exploit his very young female victims by targeting them on apps and social media. This is not to say that the real Bieber himself is to blame.. just wish he’d realise that this sort of behaviour sends a message. In particular that it is ok for a man with such power to approach young women – who may be fans – online for sex.
TL;DR – Bieber stop being creepy it’s emboldening creeps.
I’m not sure he is emboldening creeps by doing this. I think it’s pretty common to ‘DM’ someone and start some form of a relationship off that, be it hookups or boyfriend/girlfriend. I hear about it often enough.
I guess Bieber is a cute kid, but I don’t understand why girls have been going Gaga over him for so many years.
