The 'Overly Attached Girlfriend' that made the headlines for spoofing Justin Bieber's Boyfriend single has gotten herself a new look as the 'Misunderstood Girlfriend.'
The Misunderstood Girlfriend meme shows her as simply the darling of the social media realm. With the help of online media site Reddit, the formerly Overly Attached Girlfriend has gotten a remake as someone who is simply a tad misunderstood.
With captions like "calls all the girl contacts in your phone -- to invite them to the surprise birthday party she's planning for you," the Misunderstood Girlfriend has a newly angelic persona. The crazy-eyed, wicked-smiled girl that created the Justin Bieber cover that went viral is gone and in her place sits the sweetly innocent ideal girlfriend.
