Justin Bieber has been labeled insensitive after a tasteless comment left at Anne Frank's House.
Anne Frank's House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Holland. Anne Frank wrote her famous diary while living in a hidden room of the house and in 2012 the house—now a museum— opened its doors to a record-breaking 1,152,888 people visitors.
Still on his World Tour, Justin Bieber arrived in Holland last week for a performance at Arnhem's GelreDome and took some time out to visit the house. Someone should have confiscated the teen star's pen though because his entry in the guestbook was not a hit with admirers of the wartime heroine—
"Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber."
The comment was posted on the Anne Frank House Facebook Page and caused an immediate outrage that soon spread to the social network, Twitter.
"Just saw what Justin Bieber wrote in the Anne Frank Museum guestbook. Absolutely disgusted," read one tweet.
A spokeswoman for the museum was more understanding about the Bieber comment—
"He's 19. It's a crazy life he's living, he didn't mean bad… and also it's nice that he made the effort, he didn't have to come."
She makes a fair point, but with many of his Twitter followers suspected to be fake, and his recent monkey troubles in Germany, Bieber certainly seems to be making news for all the wrong reasons lately.
