Who knew there was so much spam out there?!
Answer: Instagram knew. So, yesterday the company deleted all of the fake and inactive accounts registered with them, which means celebs lost millions of followers!
Justin Bieber took the biggest hit. He lost 3.5 million followers, almost 15% of his total.
Kim Kardashian is down 1.3 million dolls! But, she’s now officially dethroned Justin Bieber as the most followed Instagrammer, showing that she has more real fans than he does (22 million to his 20 million). So does Beyonce, who despite losing 831,000 followers, also has more than Biebs with 21 million followers.
Other notable stars who lost a lot:
Ariana Grande‘s account is now minus 1.5 million people. Selena Gomez dropped 1.1 million fake Selenators.

In all, over 19 million accounts were deleted.
There’s a catch though! While some people are raging over losing their followers, they’re missing a key aspect: these accounts were deactivated ages ago, but they’re only now being officially deleted.
But, we’re sure celebs will gain back their millions of followers again in no time!
