Peace: Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber have followed each other on Instagram amid their so-called feud; seen last fall together
A new begining: Selena Gomez, who is the most followed woman on Instagram with 403 million Instagram followers, only follows 251 people – with Hailey as one of them. She does not follow ex Justin Bieber. Hailey, who has 49.4 million followers, follows 891 people on the social media app.
Hailey then thanked Selena for speaking out on her behalf amid their so called ‘feud,’ which re-ignited in the past few weeks after the stars seemingly shaded each other on social media.
On Friday morning urged people to stop trolling and bullying Hailey, revealing that they have been in contact discussing the narrative that has been playing out for the past few weeks.
Selena, 30, also revealed that Hailey, 26, has been receiving death threats and ‘hateful negativity.’
‘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,’ Hailey wrote in the note.
‘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,’ she continued.
‘Things can be taken out of context or construed differently than they were intended. 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 or compassion,’ Hailey concluded.
Selena broke her silence on Friday about their rumored spat, shutting down any hateful behavior from trolls or fans.
‘Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,’ she wrote.
‘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.’
Selena and Hailey also appeared to start following each other on Instagram.
For years, the internet has pit the former Disney star and the model – who is married to Selena’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber – against one other.

But in October 2022, they proved there was no bad blood between them when they posed for some photos together at an event – and they were even seen hugging it out.
However, in February 2023, rumors that they were fighting started to spread once again after Hailey shared a TikTok video in which some believed she was making fun of Selena.
Joined by close friends Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye, the ladies lip-synced along to the words: ‘I’m not saying she deserves it, but God’s timing is always right.’
The clip was shared right around the time that Selena was receiving a lot of negative attention over a set of unflattering paparazzi photos that were taken of her during a trip to Mexico – and based on the suspicious timing of Hailey’s post, many were convinced that she was shading Selena.
The TikTok was swiftly deleted, and Hailey insisted in a comment that the video had nothing to do with her husband’s ex.
‘I never comment on this type of thing but we were just having a girls’ night and did a random TikTok sound for fun,’ she wrote. ‘It’s not directed at anyone.’
Selena also got involved at the time, adding in a comment: ‘It’s OK. I don’t let these things get me down. Be nice to everyone.’
However, the drama didn’t end there. Fans then became convinced that Hailey’s pal Kylie Jenner was mocking Selena days later.

Selena (seen with Taylor) wrote, ‘So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game’
The actress had shared a post to TikTok admitting that she had ‘accidentally laminated’ her brows too much.
Taking to Instagram, Kylie posted a snap in a very similar pose along with the accompanying caption: ‘This was an accident?’
The reality star appeared to add even more fuel to the fire by sharing a screenshot from a recent FaceTime call with Hailey right after – during which they both zoomed in on their eyebrows.
However, Kylie denied that she was bashing Selena in a comment, stating, ‘This is 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.’
‘Agreed @kyliejenner,’ Selena responded. ‘It’s all unnecessary. I’m a fan of Kylie.’
Even so, the hashtag #TeamSelena started to trend online, and the uproar resulted in Kylie reportedly losing half a million social media followers, while Hailey’s following went down by close to a million in total.
On the other hand, the Only Murders in the Building star saw her following increased by 10 million as a result of the online trolling accusations aimed at the pair.
Later that month, Selena stirred up the pot once again when she started to comment on some TikTok videos about Hailey, as well as some about her ex Justin.
On a TikTok containing old footage of Hailey seemingly sticking her tongue out in disgust when a Taylor Swift song played, Selena wrote, ‘So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game.’
She also commented ‘I love you’ on a video a fan posted, in which she voiced her support for the singer amid all the bullying she had received from ‘mean girls and nepo babies.’
Afterwards, she went live on TikTok and revealed she was taking a break from the platform.

In late February 2023, Selena started to comment on some TikTok videos about Hailey, including one of her sticking her tongue out in disgust when a Taylor Swift song played
‘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,’ she said at the time.
‘And I’m good. I love the way I am. I don’t care. 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.’
She deactivated her account but brought it back hours later. Now, it seems as though Selena is ready to put it behind her once and for all.
