Beliebers Are Cyberbullying Justin Bieber’s Stylist to Dress Him in a Suit

Justin Bieber has been dressing like a homeless person lately. This is both a personal opinion and one universally held by the Beliebers, a fierce group of fangirls dedicated to everyone’s favorite Canadian. This group — think of it as a Super PAC with middle schoolers wielding their parents’ credit cards and iPhones — can get a topic trending on Twitter in a matter of minutes and make world leaders succumb to their will through spamming accounts. But Karla Welch, who works with the Purpose artist as his personal stylist, knows how to defeat the highly effective work of these digital henchmen: by threatening the children.
Beliebers, quit going on about suits or I won’t put him in one! That includes my Instagram. I love you all!

But before labeling Welch a bad person, telling her to pick on someone her own size (technically in social media terms, only having 8,000 followers makes her the small guy, but semantics), let’s look at what she’s been dealing with. Firstly, the Beliebers are threatening her employment. When thousands of starry-eyed teens with 24/7 Internet access are basically blackmailing you into dressing a client a certain way, it’s only natural to retaliate.
@karla_welch if he wears something ugly I’m blaming you

@karla_welch he’s paying you to make him look good & if you got him walking the Grammys in some ripped jeans & a t-shirt there goes your job

But the Bieber cartel’s demands are simple. The group is broken up that the “Love Yourself” singer has been taking his sartorial cues as of late from Kanye West and Goodwill instead of “dressing like the millionaire that he is.”
@karla_welch wooow, why so mad Karla? we just want him dressed like the millionaire he is and not like a homeless

@karla_welch just don’t dress him like he’s homeless please thank you

@karla_welch don’t even!!! Its the Grammy’s you cannot dress him like a homeless guy!

They’d really like a suit moment at the upcoming Grammy Awards because it’s a “big deal for him.”
@karla_welch alright, what do you think about BALMAIN?? I think it suits justin so well!!! Love you back

They suggest dressing him in Balmain because they also worship at the altar of Olivier Rousteing and would enjoy a Met Gala moment redux.

But the Beliebers are sorry for cyberbullying Welch (but they really want him to wear a suit so just do it, OK?).
@karla_welch okay we’ll quit it just make sure he shows up in a suit & looking like a million bucks oh & one last thing. In a suit. Thanks.

@karla_welch we love him in suits, sorry if we’re a bother but it’s the Grammy’s and it’s the perfect time to wear a suit.
