Once again, the internet got to see more of Justin Bieber than it bargained for - this time via nude pictures that were leaked.
Anyone who was less-than-impressed by the nude selfie Bieber posted in July would no doubt prefer that somewhat mild assault on the senses to the images that have caused the latest stir on social media.
The leaked images provide a full frontal view of the pop star, causing #RespectJustinsPrivacy to start trending as it displayed the reactions of Twitter users who think the pics of Bieber’s man-bits are taking things an inch too far.
It seems we have the New York Daily News to blame for releasing the long-lensed photos, which were reportedly taken without the singer’s consent. The publication also posted a video, adding a black bar to the image to conceal the star’s penis.
While the image Bieber shared on Instagram from his vacation in Bora Bora inspired comical memes from fans and normal people alike, this time around the reaction weighed more heavily on the side of bemusement, and even disgust.
Although the sizeable package seen in the paparazzi images seemed to separate fans from their righteous indignation long enough to express delight, some believed that he got a boost from Photoshop, as the the singer’s tattoo of a cross and the word “purpose” were conspicuosly absent.
Here are some of the Beliebers' thoughts:
i want Justin to tweet something.. anything that will show that he's okay, i feel so bad for him and how he's feeling #RespectJustinsPrivacy

I think Jayde is the one who exposed the naked pics of Justin. I don't like her at all. And, she's not pretty. #RespectJustinsPrivacy
