Bette Midler has given the final word on the Justin Bieber nude scandal, criticising the singer’s dad for "abandon[ing] his son" shortly after his weird (and now-deleted) tweet congratulating his son for appearing well-endowed.

Bieber was photographed naked last week while on holiday in Bora Bora in what kicked off another discussion about the ethics of photographing celebrities when there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

While the pop star has not commented on the situation, his father, Jeremy, tweeted him with the disturbing comment “What do you feed that thing? #proud daddy”, which was enough for Midler to finally give us her thoughts on the situation.

Though Bieber Snr has deleted his tweet, Midler called him “the biggest d**k in this situation”.

“@justinbieber dad tweeted he's proud of his son's penis size. I think the biggest d**k in this situation is the dad who abandoned his son,” she wrote.

Bieber was raised by his mother, Patricia Malette, and his grandmother, Diane, but his father has become more involved in his life since the Canadian rose to fame.

Neither Bieber has responded to Midler’s tweet, probably because it’s quite hard to come back from a scatching burn like that.
