Drake Bell’s Instagram account was apparently hacked by Justin Bieber fans on Friday. Bell’s picture was replaced by one of a laughing Bieber, with the hacker (or hackers) also
posting a number of pro-Bieber, anti-Bell images. Bell’s account was eventually set to
private, but not before Bieber fans disseminated screenshots like the one below. The
hacking comes one day after Bell said his “Christmas wish” was for the “eradication of
all Beliebers.”
It’s not surprising that Bell would be a hacking target, given a years-long feud between
the former Nickelodeon star and Beliebers. Just in the last couple of months, Bell told an
Instagram user who likes Bieber, “I hope you die soon.” He also declared that Bieber is
“nothing” without Selena Gomez. Bell has been a frequent critic of the pop star and his
fans, calling Bieber a “talentless… little sh*t” and his admirers “awful people.”
On Christmas, Bell tweeted, “My Christmas wish is the eradication of all Beliebers even on
Christmas they are sending me death threats and hate!! It’s freakin Christmas!” He has
not yet commented on the seeming hack, nor is it known exactly who did it. Beliebers seem very pleased with the results, as both “Drake Bell’s Instagram” and #DrakeBellsPassword
became top Twitter trending topics. Needless to say, neither trend resulted in many
flattering portrayals of Bell. Bieber has not responded to the situation, either. Gossip
Cop will have updates.
What do you think about the hacking of Drake Bell’s Instagram?
