Hailey Bieber expressed her gratitude to Selena Gomez for standing up for her after their alleged “fight,” which erupted in recent weeks after the celebrities appeared to disparage one another on social media.
A few hours after Selena urged people to stop harassing the founder of Rhode, Hailey—who is married to Justin Bieber—took to her Instagram stories on Friday afternoon.
With over 403 million followers on Instagram, Selena is the most followed woman in the world. She begged people to stop abusing and trolling Hailey on Friday morning, disclosing that they have been in communication discussing the story that has been unfolding for the past few weeks.
Hailey, 26, has been the target of “hateful negativity” and death threats, according to Selena, 30.
Hailey stated in the email, “As her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I, I want to thank Selena for speaking out.”
“Everyone involved has had a very difficult few weeks, and millions of people are witnessing a great deal of hate around this, which is extremely harmful.” Even if social media is a fantastic tool for connecting and fostering a sense of community, she went on, “moments like these only serve to further divide society rather than to bring it together.”
It’s possible for things to be interpreted incorrectly or taken out of context. Everyone, including myself, needs to be more careful about the things we say and share on social media.
In the end, Hailey said, “I think love will always triumph over hate and negativity and that there is always a chance to meet each other with more empathy or compassion.”
Regarding their reported falling out, Selena finally spoke out on Friday, blocking any harsh comments from fans or trolls.
“Hailey Bieber wrote to me letting me know that she has been receiving hateful negativity and death threats.”
“I don’t stand for this.” Bullying or hate should not have to be experienced by anyone. I truly want this to end and have always pushed for kindness.
It also seemed like Hailey and Selena started following each other on Instagram.
The model, who is married to Selena’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, and the former Disney star have been engaged in an online feud for years.
However, they demonstrated that there was no ill will between them in October 2022 when they posed for pictures and even shared an embrace during an event.
But in February 2023, after Hailey posted a TikTok video that some thought made fun of Selena, rumours that they were arguing began to circulate once more.
Along for the lip-sync were close friends Justine Skye and Kendall Jenner, who said, “I’m not saying she deserves it, but God’s timing is always right.”
The video was posted at the same time that Selena was making headlines for all the wrong reasons due to some embarrassing paparazzi pictures that were taken of her in Mexico. Many people assumed Hailey was making fun of Selena because of the strange timing of her post.
Hailey stated in a comment that the video had nothing to do with her husband’s former partner, and the TikTok was quickly removed.
We were simply enjoying a girls’ night and made a weird TikTok sound for fun, she wrote. “I never comment on this type of thing.” “It’s not aimed at specific people.”
Selena commented at the time, “It’s OK,” and got involved as well. These things don’t depress me. Treat everyone with kindness.
But the drama wasn’t over yet. Days later, fans were certain Hailey’s friend Kylie Jenner was making fun of Selena.
