Pop singer Justin Bieber unleashed his 4.5 million Twitter fans this week on a Michigan teen who’d harassed him, said the London Daily Mail. Bieber, 16, sought revenge on Kevin Kristopik, 15, believing he had hacked into a friend’s account and stolen his phone number. Bieber retaliated by obtaining the teen’s phone number and tweeting it along with the message, “Everyone call me or text.” Thinking the number was Bieber’s, fans sent upward of 26,000 texts in just a few hours. “My phone was going crazy,” said Kristopik. “It was unusable.”
