Justin Bieber Hugs Chantel Jeffries’ Cousin In Photo, Fans Troll Girl
Justin Bieber is single and 21. Despite these typical claims to freedom, a pic of the singer hugging a brunette female named Natalia Skye — which she posted to Instagram — has triggered relationship speculation by gossip sites and inevitable trolling of the girl by some of the Biebs’ hormonal fans.
Nothing new then. Well, there is this. Turns out Natalia Skye is a cousin of model, Chantel Jeffries, 21. Jeffries rode shotgun with Justin Bieber during his ill-fated Lamborghini ride in Miami Beach in January. Skye’s snap with the Biebs is believed to have been taken during the singer’s trip to Miami last month.
Skye’s April 8 pic, was captioned, “Take a picture, it’ll last longer #Lol #AreWeGoalsYet”
Naturally, all hell broke loose once (some) of Bieber’s fans got wind of Skye’s upload. As a result, Natalia changed her note to “Just Friends.”
Of the now (at press time) 16,500 comments left, here are a few:
“You changed your caption lol just friends? Ur asking for attention much,” wrote one user. “Pretty but i think you want a little too much attention #sorrynotsorry,” another accused.
“Yas, she’s using Justin to get fame like all the other models, no one notice them until they date/use Justin,” insisted one commenter. Another simply wrote “#Trash.”
Some fans registered their disapproval of the trolling. One slammed, writing,
I hate fans who complain about everything & who love to create drama but I hate psycho fans who have to stalk every girl he’s with & attack

Coming back to the status of Natalia Skye and Justin Bieber? Are they in a relationship or were just goofing around for the camera? Generally with selfies, participants strikes a pose and ham it up. So they were either doing that, or possibly getting better acquainted.
Is further discussion merited?
Meanwhile, In Touch and Hollywood Life — stalwarts of journalism — are still peddling the previously denied claim that Bieber is dating model-du-jour Kendall Jenner.
To recap: Justin Bieber is single. And 21.
