“All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” she continued. “Like whenKim Kardashianorchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it.”
She then shared a screenshot taken from Bieber’s Instagram account ofan August 2016 post,in which the “Sorry” singer shared a Facetime call between himself and Braun — who can be seen with on-and-off client West, who Braun was not managing at the time of Bieber’s Instagram post. “Taylor swiftwhat up,” Bieber captioned the post.

The entertainers were never heard discussing the specific lyric in the phone call, however, and Swift clapped back on Instagram, reiterating that West had never told her he was going to call her “that bitch” in the song.
“You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world,” she wrote at the time. “He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.”
Though the pair were never heard discussing the specific lyric, Swift received a flood of backlash after the leak from fans calling her a liar.

“Or when his client,Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked,” the singer said. “Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.”
Earlier this year, Swift hit “like” on an Instagram account that re-posted a tweet slamming the rapper’s infamous video, calling it “straight up revenge porn,” and opened up toElleabout feeling at her lowest point due to bullying from Kardashian’s leak.
“It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us,” Swift said, adding, “But maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it.”
