Hailey Bieber, a prominent model, has strongly rejected the claims of an ongoing feud between herself and Selena Gomez, considering the allegations “vile.” She believes that the online hostility is not centered around the two individuals but rather the “hatred that can come from completely made-up and twisted and perpetuated narratives.” Hailey, 26, and Selena, 30, both renowned Hollywood stars, found themselves entangled in a heated dispute when online users accused Hailey and her friends, including Kylie Jenner, of subtly mocking Selena. Notably, Selena had a well-known on-and-off romantic relationship with Hailey’s husband, Justin Bieber, which spanned over eight years during their teenage and early adult years.
During an interview with Bloomberg’s original series, The Circuit With Emily Chang, Hailey emphasized that the feud was not about her and Selena specifically, but rather about the abhorrent and repulsive hatred that arises from fabricated and distorted narratives. She expressed her concerns about the potential dangers associated with such narratives and viewed this situation as an opportunity to advocate for unity, rejecting any form of division. Hailey firmly disapproved of the notion of taking sides between individuals and refrained from endorsing it.
Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber Seek Resolution
In March 2023, Selena disclosed that Hailey had reached out to her, revealing that she had been receiving death threats from supposed fans of Selena’s. In response, Selena took to social media to deliver a powerful message to her followers, expressing her disapproval of hate and bullying. She has always been a proponent of kindness and urged for an end to these negative behaviors. Hailey, in turn, expressed her gratitude towards Selena for speaking out, acknowledging the ongoing discussions between the two regarding how to move past the narrative that surrounded them.
Both Hailey and Selena took the step of following each other on Instagram following their public statements in March. Over the years, there have been persistent rumors on the internet suggesting that Hailey has been imitating Selena, particularly in terms of fashion choices, tattoos, and hairstyles. However, tensions escalated in February 2023 when Selena uploaded a TikTok video playfully teasing Hailey about her overly laminated eyebrows. Shortly after, Hailey and Kylie seemingly made a slight dig at Selena when Kylie posted a close-up shot of her own eyebrows with the caption: “This was an accident???” She also shared a close-up image of Hailey’s eyebrows from a previous FaceTime conversation.
These posts emerged weeks after Hailey uploaded a TikTok video of herself and her friends lip-syncing to a popular soundbite that included the lyrics, “And I’m not saying she deserved it, but God’s timing is always right.” Fans quickly assumed that Hailey was subtly throwing shade at Selena, who had recently faced cruel comments about her appearance following the 2023 Golden Globe Awards. Another incident occurred a week later when Hailey posted a promotional video for her Rhode beauty line, featuring a solo version of the song “Calm Down” by Rema, which was originally a collaboration between Rema and Selena.
Furthermore, in March 2023, Justin celebrated his 29th birthday, and his choice of party favors stirred speculation when fans noticed that the lighters had the message: “I’m so thankful I didn’t end up with what I thought I wanted.”
In summary, Hailey Bieber has categorically denied the existence of a feud between herself and Selena Gomez. She has condemned the online animosity, emphasizing that it is not about the individuals involved but rather the unfounded and perpetuated narratives that generate hatred. Both Hailey and Selena have expressed their desire to move past this situation and promote unity rather than division. Despite past incidents and rumors, they have taken steps towards resolving their differences and have shown mutual appreciation for each other’s efforts in addressing the issue.
