Hailey Bieber’s Cryptic Rant Sparks Selena Gomez Feud Speculation
In a social media swirl that could only be described as a modern soap opera, Hailey Bieber recently took to her Instagram Story to express her irritation amidst renewed rumors of a feud with Selena Gomez. Just hours after her representative denied allegations that she liked a TikTok post mocking Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco, Hailey unleashed a cryptic rant about the clichés of pastors and preachers, hinting at her annoyance with the narrative being spun around her.
“Pastors and preachers really love to just put words together with the same letter,” she quipped, sharing a meme of Elmo surrounded by flames, adding, “and then people sit there like this eating it up!” This overtly sarcastic outburst seems to suggest that she’s fed up with the incessant gossip that seems to follow her, particularly regarding her relationship with Gomez, a fellow celebrity who has shared a long, tangled history with her husband, Justin Bieber.
The firestorm reignited when TikTok influencer Courtney Presto claimed that Hailey liked a post that poked fun at Selena’s recent Interview magazine photoshoot. “Hailey probably f–king hates Selena,” Presto stated, which sent fans into a frenzy. However, Hailey’s rep quickly intervened, labeling the claims as “fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative.”
This isn’t the first time Hailey has faced speculation about her relationship with Gomez. In a previous interview with Emily Chang, she emphasized that the ongoing rivalry narrative is not about her and Selena but rather reflects “the vile, disgusting hatred that can come from completely made up and twisted narratives.” This insistence on unity echoes a broader call in celebrity culture to combat the toxic environment created by fan divisions and media sensationalism.
As both women have moved on from their past with Justin Bieber—Selena getting engaged to Benny Blanco and Hailey marrying Justin in 2018—one would hope the drama surrounding them might fade. But alas, the world of celebrity gossip shows no signs of letting up. Perhaps Hailey is just giving us all a lesson in the dangers of social media and the narratives we so eagerly consume.
