UPDATE: The racy photo of Justin Bieber appears to be Photoshopped. An old photo of the singer shows him in the exact same position (same clothes, facial expression and background) but with his pants on, making it seem as though someone took the picture and doctored the bottom half of his body.

Holy moly, we weren't ready for all of this.
Amid the ongoing drama that's been circulating this week between Justin Bieber, his ex Selena Gomez and new girlfriend lady friend Sofia Richie, another one of his former flames seemingly decided to get thrown into the mix, and boy was this move a big one (no pun intended).
Chantel Jeffries' Instagram account nearly gave all of her followers a heart attack after posting a naked photo of Bieber showing off his, um, member, with the caption, "I love you Justin." To make things even more shady, the photo tagged Gomez right on his penis. The post has since been taken down.
While this would be some grade A clap-back, a source tells E! News that Jeffries' account was actually hacked. The young model also made note of the post on her Snapchat, telling followers, "Oh my God. Whoever hacked my Instagram account has me so f--ked up right now."
She continued in a different snap, "Alright guys, so this is the only way you can know it's me, so I'm going to keep you updated here. But yeah, my Instagram's been hacked. Someone's been trying to hack into all my stuff today."
While Bieber will probably hear of this in some manner, his Instagram notifications aren't blowing up like they normally would, because he deleted the app following the back-and-forth with Selena and his followers.
"I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate this is getting out of hand," he first wrote on Instagram after Beliebers kept commenting about his photos with Richie. "If you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like."
Gomez subsequently added her two cents to the mix. "If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol – it should be special between you two only," she reportedly wrote in the comment section. "Don't be mad at your fans. They love you."
The digital spar session continued for a few more jabs between the exes before Bieber decided to ultimately pull the plug on his account.
