Hailey Bieber Responds to Claims of Rekindling Selena Gomez Feud: “Never Happened”
Hailey Bieber is setting the record straight—again.
After a TikTok content creator alleged that Hailey had ‘liked’ a post subtly shading Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco, Hailey’s rep swiftly dismissed the claim, telling Us Weekly:
“This never happened. This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalise off of an old, tired narrative.”
The drama kicked off when the TikToker, known as Courtney, accused the model of interacting with a video that mocked Selena and Benny’s Interview magazine cover shoot. Courtney even followed up with what she claimed was a screenshot of Hailey’s like, saying,
“Hailey Bieber herself liked my TikTok… I was being a little shady to Selena Gomez.”
But Hailey’s team insists the alleged interaction never took place.
The Never-Ending Narrative
For years, the internet has tried to pit Hailey and Selena against each other, largely due to their connections to Justin Bieber—Selena’s ex and Hailey’s husband. Despite both women expressing a desire to move on from the drama, rumors continue to resurface.
Hailey, now 28, previously spoke on The Circuit in July 2023, revealing the emotional toll the public scrutiny has taken on her.
“I don’t think this is about me and Selena Gomez. This is about vile, disgusting hatred that comes from made-up narratives,” she said.
“It’s caused a lot of division… and I’m just not about that. I want to bring people together.”
Selena Has Spoken Out Too
Selena Gomez has also addressed the issue, especially after learning Hailey had received death threats. In February 2023, she urged her fans to stop fueling the negativity:
“This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop,” she wrote on Instagram.
That message was followed by what seemed like a public truce when Hailey liked Selena and Benny Blanco’s engagement post in December 2024.
Why This Matters
In the entertainment industry—especially among women in the spotlight—manufactured feuds can have real consequences. Online hate, fan wars, and media spin often blur the lines between truth and rumor, creating harmful narratives that overshadow personal growth and public goodwill.
Both Hailey and Selena have made it clear: they’re not interested in being symbols of rivalry. They’ve moved on. Maybe it’s time the internet does too.
