Hailey Bieber Speaks Out on Alleged Feud with Selena Gomez, Calls for More Empathy and Compassion
Model Hailey Bieber has broken her silence on her rumored feud with Selena Gomez. After Selena shared a post about receiving death threats and hateful comments, supposedly related to her past relationship with Justin Bieber, Hailey responded with a message on Instagram, thanking Selena for speaking out and expressing a desire to move past the ongoing narrative between them.
Hailey also emphasized the harmful effects of hate and division on social media, writing, “We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself. In the end, I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity, and there is always an opportunity to meet each other with more empathy and compassion.”
Hailey’s previous social media posts were interpreted by some as mean-spirited towards Selena, leading to a loss of followers and negative assumptions about their relationship. However, Selena broke her silence on the issue, stating that Hailey had reached out to her and that she advocated for kindness and an end to hate and bullying.
The feud allegedly started when Hailey appeared to bully Selena online, posting and then deleting a video that some interpreted as a reference to Selena being fat-shamed. The tension between the two goes back to 2018 when Hailey got engaged to Justin just months after his final split with Selena, whom he dated on and off for eight years.
