Here's easy-to-read text:
Everyone in my team has been telling me, "keep the press happy" but I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now. Saying I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me. My family is beyond proud. If Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level and i know i got my head on straight. i know who i am and i know who i'm not My messege is to to believe. I honestly don't care if you don't believe in me because I believe in me, and look where that's gotten me so far… I'm writing this with a smile on my face and love in my heart. Letting u know first hand how I feel rather than have these story linger. I'm a good person with a big heart. And don't think I deserve all of this negative press I've worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn't stop here. i'm growing up finding myself while having people watch me and criticise me everyday i think im doing pretty damn good. And to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements ;).
SHADE:
The post was quickly removed and replaced with a revised state below — sans the Lohan comment.
UPDATE:
Bieber has apologized for his Lohan comment, telling TMZ :
"My post was only up for a few minutes [10] but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say."
Biebs added:
"I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."
