Justin Bieber took down a bare butt Instagram picture that went viral last week, but not because he was embarrassed — he took it down because he realized children follow him on the social media platform.
“Hey I deleted the photo of my butt on Instagram not because I thought it was bad but someone close to me’s daughter follows me and she was embarrassed that she saw my butt and I totally wasn’t thinking in that aspect,” the singer wrote. “And I felt awful that she felt bad. To anyone I may have offended I’m so sorry. It was completely pure hearted as a joke but didn’t take in account there are little following me!!! Love u guys.”
Last week, Bieber gave fans a sneak peek of his naked ass with the caption, “Look.” Friend Miley Cyrus reposted the picture with Bieber’s rear photoshopped to be larger and rounder with the caption, “Bieber got back!”
In response to Bieber’s original post, model Chrissy Teigen posted a butt picture of her husband John Legend and tagged the social media platform — a direct dig at the social media platform for removing a picture of her exposing her breast two weeks ago.
