Bell’s bankruptcy news follows his public bashing and criticism of teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. Bell took to Twitter to comment on Bieber’s recent trouble with the law for allegedly egging a neighbor’s house.

“@justinbieber instead of egging speeding around your neighborhood and defacing property like a little s–t you should practice your guitar!!” he tweeted on Jan. 16 and later deleted, according to Gossip Cop.
