In late February, accusations of bullying surfaced against Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, directed towards Selena Gomez. The feud took the internet by storm and divided fans into different camps. Here’s a closer look at the drama and its impact on those involved.
The feud between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez resurfaced after fans accused Hailey of copying Selena’s eyebrows. The allegations escalated into accusations of bullying, with fans labeling Hailey a “mean girl.” Hailey’s social media accounts were flooded with comments branding her as a bully, leading to her losing almost a million followers on Instagram and 200,000 on TikTok. Her brand is now at risk because of the “mean girl” label.
Hailey’s allies in the feud are Kylie and Kendall Jenner, who have also been accused of bullying in the past. Kendall Jenner lost over half a million followers due to the situation.
Selena Gomez’s fans have rallied to support her, and she has gained over 10 million followers since the situation began. However, the past tensions between Gomez and Bieber’s fans have led to negative impacts on her mental health. Gomez has previously spoken out against hateful comments from Bieber’s fans and left most social media platforms due to harassment.
Despite this, Gomez and Bieber seem to be on good terms and have publicly embraced each other at events.
The fickleness of fame and the ever-changing narrative around celebrities put Hailey’s brand at risk. Her lack of communication has made the situation worse, and her silence on the matter has led to further accusations from fans.
Social media has been both a blessing and a curse in this situation. While it has helped Selena Gomez’s fans support her, it has also been a breeding ground for hate and negativity towards Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner.
The Hailey Bieber-Selena Gomez drama has once again shown the dark side of celebrity feuds. While the situation has died down for now, it remains to be seen whether the two stars will continue to feud in the future. However, it is essential to remember that celebrities are also human beings who have feelings and should be treated with empathy and kindness.
