Bieber's April Fools' Prank Didn't Make Anyone Laugh, He's Actually Receiving Backlash For It

Is Baldwin actually pregnant?!

Oh, the sweet, childish activity of pulling a prank — it can go two ways: either people find it hilarious or people take it personally.

Bieber has been a pop-icon known for his tendencies to get himself in so many scandals. Despite the backlash that Bieber has received throughout his career, this A-list celebrity has not stopped being himself and continues to evoke humor through his social media platforms.

Recently, on April Fools' Day, Bieber decided to join everybody in on the fun and posted a picture claiming that his wife, Hailey Baldwin, known as Hailey Bieber, was pregnant.

He posted the image of Baldwin seemingly receiving a check-up with the following caption, "If U thought it was April fools," to make things seem realistic to the public eye.

Immediate responses overloaded Bieber's feed from Instagram followers congratulating him over the pregnancy announcement — other responses included emojis that insinuate suspicion or disbelief.

Soon after, Bieber reveals that the whole post was a simple joke with an image of a dog in an ultrasound captioned, "Wait omg is that a,,,APRIL FOOLS."

Even though Bieber, and other celebrities like David Beckham, found the whole prank completely hilarious, others did not take it as a laughing matter.

Backlash rose over the prank being extremely insulting and damaging because it was claimed to target people who are struggling with infertility or who have lost children. Comments, such as the ones seen below, actually insulted Bieber directly stating that he was a "piece of sh*t" for making a prank like that.

Bieber nonetheless quickly responded with another image containing an apology, in which he takes full responsibility for the whole chaos and says that he did not recognize the severity of it all.

But, don't worry Bieber we all forgive you!

Let's just take this as a lesson that even celebrities are not perfect — everyone makes mistakes. Also, for those who reacted with hate towards Bieber, remember that at the end, hate is really not going to fix anything.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
