In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, Hailey Bieber called the constant comparisons between Rhode Beauty and other brands âannoyingâ â and while she never mentioned Selena Gomez or Rare Beauty by name, many believe thatâs exactly what (and who) she was talking about.
However, sources close to Hailey told TMZ that the comments werenât aimed at Selena â and were actually about other skincare brands entirely. Either way, the TL ran with it⊠and yâall know Selena saw it too.
In a now-deleted post, Selena seemingly clapped back with a message on her Stories:
âJust leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesnât affect my life whatsoever. Itâs just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me,â she wrote. âThere is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop,â Selena added.
Support & Shade Flood Haileyâs IGFans wasted no time running to the comments under Hailey Bieberâs WSJ Magazine cover post â and letâs just say, it was mixed energy. You already know some folks were in full support mode, gassing Mrs. Biebs up and reminding her sheâs that girl. But others werenât having it, stepping in to defend Selena and calling Hailey out for what they saw as subtle shade.
One Instagram user @jbiebersourcee commented, âthatâs my Hailey.. sheâs iconic â€ïžâ
This Instagram user @matias_no89 said, ââI donât feel competitive with people Iâm not inspired byâ
and that has hit a nerve with a certain someone and her fansâ
And, Instagram user @itstheavarose wrote, âFACE CARD NEVER DECLINES! YOU ARE THE MOMENT â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ
Meanwhile, Instagram user @theelevatedlife.co added, âRhode was the biggest launch in Sephora history and theyâve been mad ever since. Keep winning!!!â
While Instagram user @selenacopyhailey said, âshe doesnât even mention her and everyone is so mad, oooh Hailey you make them so obsessed đâ
Then Instagram user @carlahinostroza wrote, âWe are not inspired by you either. Kindness and humility is everything!â
Instagram user @ilaydahelinnn shared, âNot inspired by? đđđđđđâ
Lastly, Instagram user @edithh.perezz added, âshould have skip the question đâ
Now What Really Had Selena Pressing âPostâ?The longtime supposed tension between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez is apparently still bubbling. And, fans think Haileyâs recent WSJ interview was the spark. When asked about her Rhode Beauty products being sold at Sephora alongside other brands, Hailey said, âI think there is space for everybody,â but followed it up with: âI donât feel competitive with people that Iâm not inspired by.â
While itâs not clear if Hailey was directly shading Selena, what is clear is that both fanbases wasted no time taking sides â and the internet was quick to connect the dots. Reps may say otherwise, but it didnât take long before Selena addressed it directly on IG⊠and the drama picked right back up. And now, all eyes are on Hailey â and her husband Justin â to see if either of them decides to speak up or let the internet do the talking.
