Hailey Bieber is shutting down the latest social media drama. The model’s rep made it clear that she did not “like” a TikTok post mocking Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, despite claims from an online content creator.
Clearing the Air
A TikTok video posted on Feb. 14 by user @courtneypresto criticized Gomez and Blanco’s recent Interview Magazine cover. The caption? A blunt, “this is the WORST.” It didn’t take long for speculation to spiral after a supposed screenshot suggested that Hailey had engaged with the post.
But according to her rep, it’s all nonsense. “This never happened,” they told Page Six on Sunday. They went further, calling the whole thing a “fabricated” story aimed at keeping an “old, tired narrative” alive.
The supposed screenshot gained traction as some fans pointed to it as proof of ongoing tension between Hailey and Gomez. One TikTok user even claimed it was evidence that Hailey’s public attempts at peace were just for show.
The Never-Ending Rumors
Hailey and Gomez have been unfairly pitted against each other for years, thanks to their connections with Justin Bieber. Gomez and Justin had a long, on-again, off-again relationship before he ultimately married Hailey in 2018.
Even when the two women have publicly shown support for each other, rumors persist. In March 2023, Gomez stepped in to defend Hailey from online harassment. She spoke out against the hate, saying she had always “advocated for kindness” and wanted it to stop.
Hailey, in turn, thanked Gomez for the gesture, saying, “In the end, I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity.” She even urged people to be more mindful about their online behavior.
Despite this, any small interaction—or alleged interaction—between them continues to make waves.
Selena and Benny’s Engagement Adds to the Drama
Another layer to the online speculation? Gomez’s relationship with Benny Blanco. The two went public in late 2023, and a year later, in December 2024, she announced their engagement.
Interestingly, Hailey “liked” Gomez’s engagement post at the time, which many took as a sign that all was well between them. Yet, with the latest TikTok drama, some are quick to question whether that support was genuine.
Here’s what’s fueling the conversation:
- Some fans believe the alleged TikTok “like” contradicts Hailey’s previous support of Gomez.
- Others argue that social media interactions are easy to misinterpret or fake.
- Hailey has consistently denied any bad blood, but skeptics remain.
Justin Bieber Stays Out of the Noise
While Hailey’s name is in the headlines again, Justin Bieber has stayed out of the conversation. The singer, now 31, has faced years of scrutiny over his past relationship with Gomez and his marriage to Hailey.
In the past, Justin has addressed criticism and speculation, but this time, he hasn’t commented. Instead, he’s been focusing on family life. He and Hailey welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, in August 2024.
Meanwhile, Gomez seems unbothered by the latest controversy. She’s busy celebrating her engagement and career milestones, including her role in the upcoming film Emilia Pérez.
At the end of the day, the social media chatter may keep going, but Hailey Bieber is making one thing clear: she’s not part of it.
