As the flames from Selena Gomez's great Instagram roast of Justin Bieber last night die down, Gomez returned to the platform this morning to continue the message she began sending to her ex, the guy who sparked a Belieber outrage when he said if they were his real fans, they wouldn't hate on the new girl he's dating, yesterday. Gomez's statement? This is how you treat the people who cheer you on:

She's also enabled comments on her two most recent posts, something she hasn't been doing as much lately after she was slammed for her Taylor Swift Snapchat scandal response (and Instagram gave high-profile users the option to disable or automatically delete abusive comments).
