Selena Gomez recently cleared the air and directly addressed her speculated feud with Hailey Bieber, and the latter thanked the singer and actress for her defense. Moreover, this comes after weeks of speculation that they threw shade at each other on social media. In fact, things escalated online so much that Selena fans actually sent death threats to Hailey. As such, the “Only Murders In The Building” star took to Instagram to call out those people and urge everyone to think more considerately. With that, she basically dispelled (or at least reverted) any inkling of bad blood, and the model also took to Instagram to thank Gomez for her actions.
“I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I,” she wrote on her IG Story. “The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful. While social media is an incredible way to connect and build community, moments like this only create extreme division instead of bringing people together.

“Things can always be taken out of context or constructed differently than they were intended,” the 26-year-old continued. “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.”
Moreover, the “Lose You To Love Me” singer directly addressed the issue hours prior, after some indirect chastising of people attacking Bieber. “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” her IG Story read. “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.” Come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and the latest from Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber.
The alleged drama between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez reached a peak this week upon Selena telling followers that Hailey reached out to her, saying that she received death threats as a result of their alleged social media spat. Moreover, for those not caught up, many believed that the pop star’s girlfriend threw shade at his ex via Instagram, and a lot of that speculation possibly is what caused the “Only Murders In The Building” star to take a social media break. However, things took a nasty turn when people started speculating more and more.
In fact, now Gomez is telling her fans (and all the Hailey haters) to stop sending death threats and more hatred her way. Of course, she never advocated for such in the first place. “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on Friday morning (March 24). “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.”
Hailey Bieber Told Selena Gomez That She’s Receiving Death Threats
Selena Gomez speaks out in defense of Hailey Bieber:
What’s more is that this is the first time she directly addressed this recent firestorm, although she seemingly spoke on it indirectly earlier this month. “Please, please be kinder and consider others’ mental health,” she wrote in a TikTok comment. Also, she expressed a heavy heart, presumably over people trashing Bieber for “stealing” her ex and allegedly throwing shade. Overall, the situation got out of hand fast, and is a prime example of the dangers of fandom and specifically reading too much into media posts. While this kind of story has followed both women for a while, its most recent focus dragging Kylie Jenner, eyebrow posts, and other factors into it doesn’t make it any less gross to propagate with such ire.
“It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship,” Bieber said on the Call Her Daddy podcast last September. Moreover, she referred to attacks that she took Justin away from Selena. “I would just never do that. I’m not interested in doing that and I never was.” Furthermore, she expressed that her and Selena have a lot of mutual respect for one another. Hopefully this situation doesn’t fake a feud to provoke a real one, and they can move on with their lives. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez.
Spring has yet to officially begin, but that’s not stopping the girls from getting into Hot Girl Summer mode early this year. We previously saw Nicki Minajteasing us with her tantalizing figure in a bathing suit this past weekend. Following in her footsteps is Hailey Bieber, who donned a neon green bikini for her most recent, very tropical, Instagram photo dump.
“I’m ready for summer,” the model wrote in the caption, letting her 49.4M followers know that obviously she can’t wait for warmer weather to come. Throughout various snapshots, Bieber sips a slushy drink on the beach, a huge smile on her face. She also captured some of the local wildlife, reminded us to apply lip balm, and teased her petite booty in another tiny swimsuit.
Over 3.2M users have double-tapped the post, though the comment section is flooded with hate amid Bieber’s online beef with Selena Gomez. Though both women have denied having any negative feelings toward each other – and even posed for a picture together at an event earlier this year – internet trolls continue to insist that there’s drama over their shared lover, Justin. “She should deff stop with the fillers lol,” one person suggested to Bieber.
“Hailey will never be Justin’s greatest love. The sad truth is, Hailey is just a companion of her husband,” another hater wrote. Amid all the trash talk coming his wife’s way, the Canadian singer has been sure to show her plenty of love on his Instagram page. “LUV U BABY,” he captioned a snuggly set of images that see the couple cuddling in the sunshine. To kick off the week, he shared another shoutout to the infamous “nepo baby” from last night’s Vanity Fair Oscars Party. Check it out below, and make sure to come back later for more pop culture news updates.

As much as the internet seems to be encouraging an all-out war between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber, both women have denied having any issues with each other. Since the model and her close friend, Kylie Jenner, were accused of mocking the former Disney star for over-laminating her eyebrows, various social platforms have been filled with hate messages for Justin Bieber’s wife. It’s been exhausting enough to take in as a spectator, and we simply can’t imagine what both socialites are feeling at this time.
For her part, Gomez has continued to share with her millions of fans on social media, regularly keeping them up to date on her mental health. She took a brief hiatus from the online world and has since been back in full force, promoting her Rare Beauty cosmetic line and other projects. “Please, please be kinder and consider others’ mental health. My heart has been heavy and I only want good for everyone. All my love,” she told viewers in a TikTok makeup tutorial earlier this month.
Hailey and Selena Deny Feuding Rumours

Since the rumours of drama began swirling, Gomez has vehemently denied having a problem with either Hailey or Kylie. In fact, she confirmed that she’s a “fan” of the reality star, and didn’t take their eyebrow post as personally as internet trolls tried to make her. As for Jenner, she responded to a video reporting on the alleged beef, describing it as “reaching.”
“No shade towards Selena ever, and I didn’t see her eyebrow posts! [You] guys are making something out of nothing. This is silly,” the mother of two wrote on TikTok as the gossip was quickly circulating. Despite their denial, hate for Jenner and Bieber has continued to pour in. Thankfully, the latter has a supportive husband by her side through thick and thin.
On Sunday (March 12), the Journals hitmaker’s Instagram feed lit up with some sweet snapshots of Justin and his wife. “LUV U BABY,” he wrote in the caption of the heartwarming memories, which see the married couple cozied up in their bathing suits on a boat. Clearly, Hot Girl Summer is off to an early start for some. Read more about Hailey Bieber’s apparent beef with Selena Gomez here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Hailey Bieber reflected on suffering a “mini stroke” one year after the fact on her Instagram Story, Friday. In doing so, the 26-year-old model shared various information about Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). With the condition, a hole exists between the left and right sides of her heart.
“Can’t believe it’s been one year since I suffered a mini stroke that led to my PFO diagnosis,” Hailey said. “Given that it’s the one-year mark from such a life-changing event, I wanted to share all the information I’ve learned about PFO and share resources to donate.”

Hailey noted that PFO is the most common type of congenital heart condition, and affects 20% of people “with 60% occurrence among 1st degree relatives.” She cited information from UCLA Health, where she went after her mini-stroke. “PFO is a passage way between the left and right atria of the heart. It exists in everyone before birth, but in most people closes after birth but doesn’t close for around one out of every four people,” she further added in another slide on her Instagram story.
Hailey first detailed suffering the mini-stroke during a YouTube video published in April 2022. She explained that she was having a typical morning and eating breakfast with her husband when “and all of a sudden I felt this really weird sensation that kind of like traveled down my arm from my shoulder all the way down to my fingertips and it made my fingertips feel really numb and weird.”
“The conclusion was that I had a blood clot that traveled into my heart. And instead of what typically happens if you have a small blood clot is the heart will filter the blood clot to your lungs. And your lungs will absorb the blood clot because the lungs are so big, and they can handle it,” she continued. “What happened with me is my blood clot actually escaped through the flap or the hole in my heart, and it traveled to my brain and that is why I suffered a TIA.”
Fans chanted “Fuck Hailey” during Justin Bieber’s surprise performance with Don Toliver at Rolling Loud, earlier this week. The incident comes amid ongoing drama between Hailey and Justin’s ex, Selena Gomez. Neither Justin nor Hailey has commented on hearing the chants from the show.
The Rolling Loud appearance comes just days after Selena Gomez called on fans to respect the mental health of others and “be kinder.” “Thank you and love you all so much. I’m deeply grateful for each and every one of you humans. You make me unbelievably happy,” she wrote on TikTok over the weekend. “Please, please be kinder and consider others mental health. My heart has been heavy and I only want good for everyone. All my love.”

As for how they’ve been handling it, a source for Us Weekly says that Justin’s been supportive of his wife throughout the drama. “Justin has been an amazing support system for Hailey throughout all this. He knows how happy Hailey felt after she and Selena made amends and thought they had put this all behind them,” the source said. They added that Hailey’s “been leaning on Justin and knows he has her back no matter what. Their marriage is stronger than ever, and it’s challenging times like this that only strengthen their bond.”
Last month, Gomez admitted that she was considering quitting social media and wanting to take a break from the spotlight. “I’m very happy. I’m so blessed. I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world and I just couldn’t be happier. I’m good,” Gomez said at the time. “I love the way I am I don’t care, I’m big, I’m not, I don’t care. I love who I am. And yeah, I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly, and I’m 30, I’m too old for this, so…but I love you guys so much! And I will see you guys sooner than later, I just… I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.”

Selena Gomez wants her fans to be kinder and more aware of the mental health of others, amid the ongoing drama between her and Hailey Bieber. Gomez made the comments in the comments section of her latest TikTok on Sunday. She said that said her “heart has been heavy” as of late.
“Thank you and love you all so much. I’m deeply grateful for each and every one of you humans. You make me unbelievably happy.” She then added in a second comment: “Please, please be kinder and consider others’ mental health. My heart has been heavy and I only want good for everyone. All my love.”

As for the drama with Hailey, the model made a post about over-laminating her eyebrows, which many took to be a jab at Gomez. She later downplayed the idea: “This is reaching. no shade towards selena ever and i didn’t see her eyebrow posts! u guys are making something out of nothing. this is silly.” Hailey was also believed to be throwing shade at Justin Bieber’s ex in another post, which featured the song “Calm Down” by Rema. It appeared Hailey deliberately picked the version that didn’t feature Gomez.
Late last month, Gomez admitted that she was considering quitting social media and wanting to take a break from the spotlight “I’m very happy. I’m so blessed. I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world and I just couldn’t be happier. I’m good,” Gomez said at the time. “I love the way I am I don’t care, I’m big, I’m not, I don’t care. I love who I am. And yeah, I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly, and I’m 30, I’m too old for this, so…but I love you guys so much! And I will see you guys sooner than later, I just… I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.”
Justin Bieber shared pictures of his wife, Hailey Bieber, in celebration of his 29th birthday. The post comes amid social media drama between Hailey and Justin’s ex, Selena Gomez. In total, Justin also posted eight other photos of him and various guests at his birthday party.
With the post, many fans took note that Justin didn’t appear to be having a good time with Hailey. “He looks happy in every pic except the ones with Hailey lmaooo,” one user commented. Another follower of his wrote: “Honestly, if he didn’t have Hailey he would be more likable, he’s enjoying himself and Hailey just there making him uncomfortable but idk right just what I see.”

A few days earlier, Hailey shared a birthday post for Justin on social media. “Happy Birthday to you, best friend!” she wrote. “Words couldn’t possibly sum up all that you embody. So here’s to more joy, more travel, yummy food, adventures, more peace, fun, and most of all more love.”
Justin and Hailey married back in 2018. Discussing their relationship for an interview with Vogue, Hailey explained that “companionship” is the best part of the marriage. “My favorite thing about being married is honestly the companionship I feel we have,” Hailey confessed to Justin. “Genuinely, you are my best friend in the entire world. There’s nobody I would rather spend more time with or do anything with.”
As for the drama with Selena Gomez, Hailey was believed to be throwing shade at Justin’s ex in a recent post. The model reshared a post to her Instagram Story by her beauty company, Rhode Skin, which was set to the song “Calm Down” by Rema. Notably, she didn’t include the popular version of the remix that features Gomez. Justin famously married Hailey just a few short months after his final breakup with Gomez. He and Hailey had dated a few years prior to that as well.
