Justin Bieber has caused quite a bit of controversy after a visit to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam this past weekend. He left a message in the museum's guestbook saying, "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."
The tourist site posted the message on its Facebook page.
Fans and non-fans were outraged by the comment and took to social networks immediately with their own messages.
One person tweeted: Astonished by the arrogance of Justin Bieber writing in the guestbook at Anne Frank's house that he hoped she would be a 'Belieber'. Please!
Another tweeted: Justin Bieber said that he hoped Anne Frank would have been a belieber.... Hasn't she suffered enough?
Annemarie Bekker, the spokeswoman for the Anne Frank House, spoke on the matter. "We think he meant it well. He's only 19 years old and living in a crazy world ... with all girls being fans of him worldwide. Maybe that is also why he wrote it down."
The "Beauty and A Beat" singer is currently in Europe for his "Believe" tour. He has yet to address his comment about Anne Frank.
