The most recent social media activity that Selena Gomez has been engaging in has garnered the attention of her followers for the wrong reasons.
Not too long ago, the Disney alum made a remark on a TikTok post that contained a video of herself from a number of years ago. However, due to the fact that the upload had the song "Company" by her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber playing in the background, some netizens believed that she was attempting to draw attention to their previous relationship.
In Tiktok, a fan made the assertion that Selena’s younger self would never have dated Benny Blanco, who is currently her boyfriend. This caused the actress from "Only Murders in the Building" to reply, "Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol."
The founder of Rare Beauty, who is 32 years old, has been accused by a large number of fans of attempting to rekindle the tension that has been brewing between the "Baby" singer, who is 30 years old, and his pregnant wife, Hailey Bieber, who is 26 years old.
"She just adds fuel to the fire and then wonders why it still burns,” one fan commented, as per OK! Magazine. "Why does she keep entertaining it she has a whole new man, HELPP," another person noted, while a third netizen said, "She’s so obsessed with him, she needs to move on."
The allegations were not met with a response from Selena, despite the fact that she has already dispelled rumors that she harbors ill will against either of them previously. During the previous year, the relationship between the two women reached its pinnacle when fans accused the model and friend Kylie Jenner of making fun of the eyebrows of the former Disney Channel star.
Although Hailey refuted the allegations, a number of Selena's supporters expressed their disapproval by sending threats to the Rhode beauty founder. This prompted Selena to demand that the hate train be stopped.
"Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity. 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. ️,” the “Who Says” songstress stated, as per TODAY.
Hailey thanked Selena and she mentioned that the two of them "have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I."
"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 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," the pregnant model added.
Due to the fact that Selena dated the pop singer on and off for a number of years before he eventually started seeing Hailey, the two girls were encouraged to compete against one another because of their ties with Justin. He eventually rekindled things with Selena, but not long after that, they broke up again.
After some time had passed, Justin and Hailey announced their engagement, and they went on to get married in the year 2018. During an interview that took place in 2023 on the podcast titled "Call Her Daddy," Hailey utilized the terms "completely made up," "twisted," and a "perpetuated narrative" to describe the claimed rivalry.
