Justin Bieber proves that even pop stars aren’t afraid to slide into the DMs.
Bieber made headlines over the weekend after messaging a gym on Instagram, asking about a female employee featured in a post on the gym’s feed.

Jessica Gober, a 22-year-old from Savannah, Georgia, works at a gym, Fitness on Broughton, and recently appeared in a boomerang on the gym’s Instagram page.
After the post went up, the gym received a message from Bieber.
“Who is that girl ? In ur latest post,” Bieber wrote, along with a heart emoji, according to Gober’s screenshot.
Gober told BuzzFeed News she was shocked to see the star’s query.
“We were like how in the world did he see this random post?” she said. “We only had 70 followers and had posted 5 times previous to this.”
The fitness and nutrition coach posted screenshots of the message on Twitter, following the post with photos of herself and her boyfriend.
Did this actually just happen… lmao

“I’ve got everything I need right here,” she wrote.
“I didn’t post the pictures of my boyfriend because I thought that Justin Bieber wanted to ‘get with me,’ ” Gober explained. “I posted them in response to everyone commenting that I ‘ruined my chances with Justin by tweeting the screenshots.’ Either way I didn’t want a ‘chance’ because I am perfectly happy with my boyfriend.”
She added that she doesn’t think the singer had any bad intentions with his message.
“We didn’t think Justin Bieber was being creepy, the gym did respond to him on Instagram,” she said. “I don’t think he had any inappropriate intentions by simply asking who I was.”
