A major feud has broken the internet, between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber, also involving Kylie Jenner. The drama has been posted all over social media, including Instagram and Tiktok. Millions of die-hard fans are calling Hailey a mean girl, dragging her name, marriage, and image.
The drama first started when Selena Gomez posted to TikTok on February 21, complaining about how her eyebrows were “laminated” too much. Three hours later, Kylie Jenner and Hailey posted on Instagram stories of their Facetime together just showing their eyebrows, captioned, “this was an accident????”. Many fans perceived this post to be malicious, and suddenly a feud sprung up between Hailey ‘stans’ and Selena ‘stans’.
What makes things more interesting is that Selena Gomez dated Justin Bieber, on and off, for about 7 years between 2011 and 2018. In 2015 and 2016 Hailey and Justin dated, and after Selena and Justin called it quits for the last time, Hailey swooped in and married Justin in 2018.
Now that the internet is attacking Hailey, videos of Justin and Hailey have resurfaced, showing Justin ignoring and insulting Hailey. One video pictured Justin saying, “I thought marriage was gonna fix all my problems.. And it didn’t.” That was just one of the many videos that came up, bringing fuel to the fire of the drama. The internet has played a major role in making the beef bigger than it needed to be. One paparazzi interviewed Hailey, asking, “Hailey, are you worried about Selena, that Justin might get back with Selena, and things will be over for ‘Jailey’.” Hailey has even lost over a million Instagram followers since late February and many fans have videoed themselves throwing out all their Rhode skincare products, which is Hailey’s, skincare brand.
Still, we have yet to see what is truly going down between Selena and Hailey. Selena released a statement on her socials, saying “Please, please be kinder and consider other mental health. My heart has been heavy and I only want good for everyone. All my love.” On the other hand, Hailey has yet to post on any socials.
It’s safe to say that majority of the internet is team Selena as of now, and many have been clear in expressing that. There still stands a divide however, between team Selena, and the select bunch who are team Hailey.
