Justin Bieber has apologised for mocking Lindsay Lohan's financial problems.
The Beauty And A Beat singer insisted he didn't mean to bash the 26-year-old troubled starlet - who is set to go on trial next week after being charged with lying to police about a car accident and is also battling to pay her huge tax bills - in a lengthy rant on Instagram as he attempted to defend his recent bad behaviour, during which he said: "And to those comparing me to Lindsey (sic) Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements."
The 19-year-old star, who deleted the comment about the Liz & Dick star within 10 minutes of posting it, told gossip website TMZ.com: "My post was only up for a few minutes but I realised right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say.
"I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."
The Canadian singer immediately reposted his original comments, bragging about his success, without the reference to Lindsay.
