As Taylor Swift turns up the heat on Scooter Braun for buying her music catalog, she seems to have ousted Justin Bieber as a cheater at the same time. The “Shake It Off” singer is getting backlash from some heavy-hitting songsters as she calls Braun an “incessant, manipulative” bully in an open letter.

Bieber was one of the stars to defend Braun by writing a lengthy post to Swift on Instagram.

He wrote, “Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that..

“Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter.

“Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed. Neither scooter or i have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line.. ”

Swift’s fans were quick to support her and take a shot a Bieber for what he wrote. One fan wrote to Bieber, "'we haven't gotten to communicate our differences' you cheated on her best friend and then publicly sided with the man who made revenge porn against her was she supposed to invite you over for tea??? [Expletive] outta here."

Swift seemed to confirm that Bieber did cheat on Selena Gomez by liking the post from the fan. Twitter also erupted with the news as other Swift fans pointed out that she basically confirmed that the Bieber cheating rumors were true.

Bieber and Gomez ended their relationship in March 2018. Bieber married Hailey Baldwin in September 2018 in a private courthouse ceremony.
