Bieber’s Twitter Revenge
Bieber’s Twitter revenge forced a a 15-year-old from Bloomfield Township, Mich to delete his tweeter account and phone number. 15-year-old Kevin Kristopik had a taste of Bieber’s wrath after annoying the star when he tracked down a friend of Bieber’s and got the singer’s number.
Kevin won’t say exactly how he did it, but said Bieber’s friend was in a music video and he used Google to track that person down. Kristopik said Bieber abused his power as a celebrity when he sought revenge. Although the singer never spoke with Kevin Kristopik, his dad, Mike Kristopik, said his son texted Bieber.
The comment posted on Bieber’s verified twitter account asked followers to call the star at a number with a 248 area code. Kevin confirmed that was his number. Bieber has more than 4.5 million followers.
Kevin said he changed his number this morning after receiving an estimated 26,000 text messages from around the world since his number was posted to Justin Bieber’s Twitter page Saturday.
“When I had my phone, it was just going crazy with calls and texts off the wall. It was unusable,” he said.
“I kind of meddled into his life a little bit,” Kevin said. “He decided to take revenge on me.”
Kevin’s dad, Mike Kristopik, said his son liked Justin Bieber quite a bit. He said he thought it was just a case of a 15-year-old trying to reach a celebrity. Bieber tried to get Kevin to stop texting him and the way to do that was to do just what he did, Mike Kristopik said.
The big problem now is how much will the phone bill be? Mike Kristopik is most worried about the cost of the incoming international texts. As of now, nothing has shown up on the bill, Kevin said.
“If it costs us $2,000 or $10,000, it’s out of line,” Mike Kristopik said, adding that he understands that his son was invading Bieber’s privacy.
Most of the texts Kevin saw said things like “Oh my God, Oh my God, it’s Justin Bieber,” he said. Others accused the teen of hacking into Twitter.
He said he’s upset about the situation, and thinks Bieber could have handled it differently. His dad said there’s a lesson from this all.
“I think you learn a big lesson from anything that you put out on the Internet or tweet because it’s always a record of your actions,” he said.
