Hailey Bieber recently made headlines for her playful response to long-running rumors that she stalks Selena Gomez, her husband Justin Bieberโs ex-girlfriend. The model appeared in Vogueโs โIn the Bag?โ segment, where she humorously addressed the wild fan theories. Fans have speculated for years that Hailey secretly monitors Gomezโs social media and copies her style.
During the video, Hailey pulled out her phone and said, โThis is my phone. Very straightforward, obviously.โ She then took out five more phones, adding, โThese are a couple more that I keep on me. And I really just use them for a lot of the simple stuff, like surfing anonymously, commenting, stalking, viewing girlsโ pages, making multiple accounts. You know, that kind of thing.โ Her sarcastic tone made it clear she was mocking the rumors.
She also joked about a โlittle tincture potionโ given to her by a witch when she was 12. โShe told me it would make a young Canadian pop star fall in love with me,โ Hailey said, referencing Justin Bieber. The comments were seen as a direct clapback to claims that she schemed to marry Justin since childhood.
The internet has long fueled rumors of tension between Hailey and Selena, especially after Hailey married Justin in 2018. Fans often compare the two women, accusing Hailey of copying Selenaโs fashion, tattoos, and even business ventures. Earlier this year, a TikTok creator claimed Hailey liked a post mocking Selena and her fiancรฉ, Benny Blanco. Haileyโs team denied the allegation, calling it โfabricated.โ
Despite the drama, Hailey has repeatedly denied any feud with Selena. In 2022, she said on the Call Her Daddy podcast that it was โall loveโ between them. The two were even photographed together at an event, seemingly dismissing the rumors. However, fan theories continue to spread, with some insisting Hailey is obsessed with Selena.
Justin Bieberโs recent behavior has added fuel to the fire. After Haileyโs Vogue cover was released, Justin posted a now-deleted caption referencing a past fight where he told her sheโd โnever be on the cover of Vogue.โ Fans criticized the comment, saying it overshadowed her achievement. Justin later replaced it with emojis.
Meanwhile, Selena has mostly stayed out of the drama. She posted a cryptic quote about โerasing someoneโs painโ but has avoided direct responses. Some fans believe her lyrics in songs with Benny Blanco hint at past tensions, but she hasnโt confirmed this.
Haileyโs lighthearted approach in the Vogue video suggests sheโs tired of the rumors. Instead of serious denials, she chose humor to shut down the speculation. Still, the internet remains divided. Some fans praised her for clapping back, while others took her jokes as โproofโ of the stalking claims.
Legal action may be on the horizon. Reports suggest Hailey is considering suing online trolls over false narratives. She has reportedly contacted attorney Lisa Moore, who previously won a defamation case for Cardi B. This comes after a viral YouTube โdocumentaryโ accused her of stalking Justin and Selena.
The ongoing drama highlights how fan theories can spiral out of control. Despite Hailey and Selena moving onโSelena is engaged to Benny Blanco, and Hailey and Justin have a sonโthe internet wonโt let the past go. Haileyโs latest response shows sheโs done taking the rumors seriously.
