Justin Bieber is once the victim of a hoax but this time it has nothing to do with Selena Gomez being pregnant with twins. The prank upset a lot of fans when it claimed that Bieber was bisexual and in a relationship with Austin Mahone.
On Apr. 7 a picture surfaced online of Bieber locking lips with Austin Mahone. The fake photo was accompanied by a tweet made to look like it was from Bieber's verified Twitter account.
"Meet my new boyfriend. I'm Bi, so what? F**k what anyone thinks," the fake tweet read.
Fans grew upset over the photo but Beliebers and Jelena fans can relax, it was all a hoax. The photo and tweet reportedly originated from Huzlers.com, which describes itself as "a combination of real shocking news and satire news to keep visitors in a state of disbelief."
The site is known for publishing bogus or exaggerated stories. For example, a recent story posted on Huzzlers.com said that James Franco was flirting on Instagram with a 15-year-old girl when the girl was actually 17-years-old. It also claimed that Jay Z dissed Drake on Twitter but the "Magna Carta" rapper hasn't tweeted since July.
There is a picture of Bieber and Mahone leaning in for a kiss on the Internet but there is a lucky fan between the two of them. In the original photo, the two pop stars plant a kiss on the fan's cheeks.
The "Boyfriend" signer was the subject of another hoax when eBuzzd published a story that Selena Gomez was pregnant with twins. The site posted a fake sonogram with the name "Gomez, S" on it that showed two fetuses.
The report went on to say that Bieber and Gomez were hanging out in Austin, Texas (which is true) and she came down with morning sickness (not true). According to eBuzzd, she went to see a doctor where she was told that she was pregnant.
"[Selena and Justin] are both 'thrilled' and can't wait to have the baby," the site claims a source said. "Gomez is expecting the baby sometime in the middle of October, which means the world may very well hear a new version of Bieber's hit song 'Baby.'"
EBuzzd.com describes itself as a "hoax" sites and warns readers that their stories are fake.
