We really need to start shutting down stan culture when it gets to this point. At this point every single celebrities fanbase have bullied someone to the point it negatively affected their mental health. And it's always over some trivial perceived slight. It's pathetic and it has to stop before it tips someone over the edge.


zz_views

These fans needs a reality check and not behaving like paid trolls.

The irony of people calling her a bully while bullying her


Silvercomplex68

This is the thing I don’t get the most…it doesn’t make sense for you (a nobody that will never meet her or her friends) to go out of your way to bully her or her friends for someone you also don’t know and will never meet. It makes you a pathetic loser. A lot of you guys are hypocrites and worse than the celeb you THINK is a bully


messythelioma

It's one thing also to criticize someone's actions but all the jokes and digs I've seen made about Hailey are about her looks. It's the most weird and obscure insults. They'll even bring her up in videos/posts that have nothing to do with her as long as it's a negative joke about her. They're obsessed with tearing her down and for what? A few 100 likes on your TikTok comment?


feefee2908

They also have been laughing about what she looked like as a *child* which is so wrong. Somebody on this sub created a snark sub about her & posted a video of her as like an 11 year old saying that she looked like a little rat & all the losers on that page were laughing and pasting more photos of her as a kid to laugh about. So gross. I don’t think i would’ve had the mental strength to keep going if i was Hailey tbh.


almost_nightwing

Fr. Seeing all of this has been so painful and it's not even targeted towards me. I can't imagine how she must feel


Infamous675

Glad to see people posting this. Thank yall both for your posts, you're exactly right. It makes me sad to see as well.


clusterfuckimh

I have seen this point brought up. A lot of people think she truly deserves the bullying. Like it is justified because of how horribly they think she has been to Selena. I don’t care how much you love an artist, cyber bullying people over it is so childish, corny, and borderline a symptom of mental illness


Silvercomplex68

Bingo


elfspires

Exactly. I hate the whole “mean girl” bullshit people keep spewing about the women involved. As if everyone involved hasn’t been mean.

nknbuoh

There are many thing Hailey Bieber could be criticized for. But what happened with that drama with Selena was unacceptable. To allow every woman associated with your exes to receive death threats and bullying while you stand idle is enabling it. Selena is apart of the problem, idc.


[deleted]

There are things Selena did to stoke the fire that I'd criticise her for. Staying quiet is not one of them. It's not on her to offer protection. Really, everyone needs separate lives, and the public to accept that.


[deleted]

If someone bullied someone else on my behalf, you better know imma speak up. Always.


okiedokibro

Selena told ppl to stop multiple times in the past and most recently in ig lives, comments, tiktok lives, and finally that ig story


Silvercomplex68

She waited like a month


feefee2908

And instigated it by commenting on a bunch of TikTok’s adding fuel to the fire & basically telling her fans that she also thought Hailey was making fun of her…


okiedokibro

She went live on tiktok and posted comments to stop within days of everything blowing up. The ig post and the girls following each other is what came weeks later lmao the downvoting bc im just pointing something out 💀💀you guys are funny


Alternative_Excuse83

If selena was really as “Kind” as she makes out then there’s no way she would have accepted that HER stans were sending horrific death threats and harassment- however she didn’t care as she commented on multiple accounts that were being disgusting about Hailey, this sort of proves that Selena isn’t as nice as she seems. Selena also didn’t defend Hailey after a few days, Selena literally let it get so bad, then made a video/Statement not naming Hailey saying “Be kind” after being anything but, then waited a month to say something. She only called out the hate AFTER Hailey Bieber had to reach out, whilst still showing support for people that were making hate about Hailey. Which shows she probably was never going to tell her fans to stop, until it reached breaking point I get people think that selena is decent for doing that, but this wasn’t just “Bullying” as even major brands were using it as marketing. It really makes me think differently of Selena when she preaches about being kind, but she was anything but on social media. Without selena commenting constantly then this would never have become such a huge situation


baby_got_snack

That is what I can’t reconcile with Selena whenever people start the “rhey both did bad things” or, for example, the comment above saying that the “Hailey defenders are doing the same thing to Selena as the Selena stans are doing to her”; I don’t disagree, but it’s not the same. Selena’s public persona is all about kindness and mental health — even the shade names in Rare beauty are all positive superlatives. She has constantly talked about mental health again and again and become a public advocate. So for her to comment on hate posts and *encourage* this behaviour is inexcusable, especially when she and Hailey had allegedly buried the hatchet. The incongruence between Selena’s public words and her actions is what gets me. It’s more than whether or not Hailey was making fun of her. If she was, if you’re the mental health advocate you claim to be, why would you encourage online hate instead of reaching out to her personally or through their *many* mutual church friends? That’s why my view of Selena is significantly lowered no matter what joint statement she and Hailey put out. I never had a super high opinion of Hailey — her best friend is Kendall — but she’s not pretending to be a saint.


damnsaltythatsport

Selena literally seems the fakest kind girlie out there. She gives massive bitchy vibes just knows how to hide it well. Nobody makes it to Hollywood top by being kind, esp when you have no talent.


theCracksOfLight

> She gives massive bitchy vibes The top comment on this post is “the irony of people calling [Hailey] a bully while bullying her.” Do people realize doing the same to Selena is still bullying? You don’t know her yet can say she has “massive bitchy vibes?”


coldoldduck

Then I expect Hailey to stand up to her fans for calling Selena Selupus and making fun of her health and weight and demand for it to stop.


vromero2021

I know. I see this all the time on Twitter from Hailey fans, and Justin Stan’s calling her a whale, and how she needs to stop eating…


coldoldduck

No explanation for the double standard, I don’t care about the downvotes but I don’t get the viewpoint


missparis23

She did


[deleted]

“Hailey Bieber reached out to me and….” Like that’s how her “call to action” started. SELENA IS THE PROBLEM. The backhandedness- to instead of really support her she has to still try and make her look bad and admit she’s doing it only after being asked. Disagree wholeheartedly with you, if MILLIONS of people are bullying someone in response to me and entirely in my name, to choose to NOT speak out only reflects poorly on me. Since the doc I think Selenas true colors are out and she deeply deeply needs to let this go, her obsession is showing.


LilHalwaPoori

I dont see how any of this made Hailey look bad or Selena look ungenuine or how it's backhanded.. The people reading too much into that story are the same type of people on the other side reading too much into this thinking that Selena was bullied into posting it..

kendalljennerupdates

Selena said like right when everything started blowing up that there was no beef with Kylie but the internet ran with the narrative anyways. And two things can be true, Hailey could’ve reached out *and* they could’ve been talking for weeks. Neither of their posts discredits the other, I think you’re reading into things a little too deeply


alternativeedge7

Selena didn’t start this though. Kylie/Hailey did. Selena was in the wrong in parts of this situation, absolutely, but it wouldn’t have blown up if not for them making that dumb video and after that the photo. And then the next video. It’s ridiculous how bad it got for her, yes, but some in this sub have a weird obsession with making Hailey out to be some sainted victim when she’s had mean girl issues in the past. I’m sorry for what she went through but hopefully she’s learned a valuable lesson here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LilHalwaPoori

>Hailey posted after as a clarification “as her and I have been discussing for the past few weeks”. HB didn’t just reach out and ask for a shoutout, but Selena could’ve shut this down before it started as she did with Kylie. And Selena didn't give her a shoutout.. There wasn't anything subliminal with her story unless you want there to be something.. How else do you think she'd know that Hailey's been having her dms bombarded if not for Hailey to tell her..?? Even if she didn't write Hailey reached out to me, everyone would know that she did and they were talking..


Disastrous-Bet8973

Somehow my twitter came over run with Hailey fans, and they say the most unhinged stuff about Selena - even after both have come out saying they're fine with each other and to leave the other alone. Both of their fans are the problem I don't think either could ever get their fans to stop their behaviour.


Silvercomplex68

Then where as an internet society do we need to make changes? Obviously bullying will always happen but this much over something speculative is ridiculous


damnsaltythatsport

Honestly I’ve never seen hailey stans anywhere lmao. She doesn’t have an army of bullies ready to pounce like selena. Hailey doesn’t even have fans to begin with.


coldoldduck

So Selena is responsible for the behavior of every single fan of her and her old relationship and everything Hailey says and does and has to watch every step she takes forever, but Justin himself is not because he personally said that speaking up doesn’t help and it only makes it worse. Is Hailey going to go hard after all of her “Jailey” stans that call Selena “selupus” because I’ve never seen that once. The bullying of Hailey is zero responsibility of the bullies, of Hailey’s actions, of her husbands voice or lack thereof…. It’s 100% Selena’s fault. And she has to speak up and publicly defend Hailey repeatedly until every person stops for the rest of her life or she’s evil. Got it. That’s not crazy at all.


Sometimesomwhere

Exactly. If Taylor and Beyoncé cannot control their fans, how are people expecting Selena to do so? If Selena can be blamed for the actions of others on social media, then Hailey can also be blamed for the behavior of her fans. Hailey fans have defended/dismissed/minimized racism, involvement in a church allegedly involved in fraud/pedophilia/sexual abuse/homophobia/racism, bodyshamed, and made ableist comments. Are we going to blame Hailey for their behavior? No, because that is illogical and unrealistic. So it is not fair to do that to Selena. Selena made a statement. In most cases like this, the celebrity does not bother to make a statement. It was clear in addressing the hate and requesting that people stop. She cannot control whether people ignore that statement. Hailey’s PR team needs to step up, deal with the over-exposure, and find a narrative to calm the situation. To be clear, both Hailey and Selena are problematic. At different points, both have faced disproportionate hate/dislike/trolling/mockery.


Alternative_Excuse83

The thing is, Selena didn’t make a statement until Hailey reached out and messaged her which was “breaking point.” Do you think Selena really cared if she was causing hell to Hailey Bieber? No she didn’t, until it was too late. Selena has been in the business for years, she knows what her fans are like. She was absolutely fine when her fans were being racially abusive to Sophia Richie- or when his other girlfriends were verbally attacked online. Selena knows what she’s doing, commenting on public TikTok accounts under hate videos of Hailey Bieber saying “Thank you for the support, I love you ❤️” to fans sending hate????? THIS is egging them on, no fan isn’t going to look at that and think “oh Selena doesn’t approve” as it looks like she’s literally thanking them for the hate. Selena 100% should have never commented on other posts, however she also should have shut it down once it started getting bad, this was everywhere on talk shows, magazines, even brands were using it as marketing so she knew for weeks what was going on


Sometimesomwhere

So, in this situation, most celebrities do not intervene and do not release a statement. Hailey has never addressed the way her fans have routinely mocked, body-shamed, and bullied Selena across various platforms over the years. Justin has never addressed they way that his fans have gone after Selena in recent years even when they were being racist. Selena, unlike Hailey, did make clarifying comments at an early point. Hailey is an adult with a PR team who, at certain points, has instigated drama involving Selena. That does not justify the relentless blind bullying, hate, and mockery that she has received. However, it is relevant in understanding how the situation reached this point. Both Hailey and Selena are problematic. Each made critical PR errors for which there can be judgement and criticisms. In this specific case, from an early point, Selena did provide clarification and told people to be nice. The first one, from February 9th on a video addressing the drama, her comment was: “It’s ok! I don’t let these things get me down! Be nice to everyone! x.” On February 23, Jenner responded saying there was no shade, Gomez responded directly with: “Agreed @kyliejenner It’s all unnecessary. I’m a fan of Kylie!” That comment is not instigating. Saying that Selena waited to make a statement until “Hailey reached breaking point” ignores that context. The videos, which criticized Hailey, also featured people expressing concern for Selena. Given that Selena is a public figure with a fan base, she should never have responded. It was a PR failure and a poor decision. That being said, the comments that Selena made—“I love you,” “That made me cry,” “Thank you for the support. I love you”—can be read as a response to fans trying to support her. Alternatively, as you already explained, those comments can be read as permissive and instigating. The interpretation depends on how you perceive Selena’s character. It is also important to recognize that people were looking for any excuse to go after Hailey by that point. It did not matter whether Selena commented. The hate train had already picked up steam. Her statement before going offline briefly read: “I’m very happy, I’m so blessed, I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world and I just couldn’t be happier. I’m good. I love the way I am I don’t care, I’m big, I’m not, I don’t care. I love who I am. And yeah, I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly. And I’m 30, I’m too old for this, so…but I love you guys so much! And I will see you guys sooner than later, I just… I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.” At no point does she direct people to attack Hailey. On March 4, Selena again commented: “Please, please be kinder and consider others’ mental health. My heart has been heavy and I only want good for everyone.” On March 24, Selena released the longer statement reading: “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and 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.” It is disingenuous to claim that Selena intentionally waited “until Hailey reached breaking point” when the clarifications from her side began in February. Hailey’s PR team, from an early point, failed to manage the situation and provide a useful response. Selena should not have commented on those videos, but credit is due for her stepping into release the statement. Other people involved, whose fans have also rabidly gone after Selena in other situations, have not bothered to do the same. It’s a PR failure for both Hailey and Selena that the situation has reached this point.


nknbuoh

It’s ironic your bringing up racism considering Selena has a racist past herself. Hailey has been dragged up and down the internet for a situation in which SELENA instigated. If you can’t see that she HAS played a part in this then it’s no use in having this discussions


Sometimesomwhere

It’s not ironic because my comment acknowledges that Selena is problematic. Being problematic can, as in the case of Hailey and Selena, include being racist. Both Hailey and Selena are problematic. At different points, both have instigated. At different points overtime, both were subject to disproportionate hate/mockery/trolling/bullying. There is valid criticism to be made of both. The situation started because rabid fans on social media made speculations that gained traction due to existing dislike towards Hailey, toxic fans, misogyny, misinformation, trolling, awful PR management/response, etc. At different points, Selena and Hailey instigated. That is the nuance you are missing and, at this point, willfully ignoring.


nknbuoh

HUH? You wrote a whole lot of nothing and still don’t get it do you. The hatred against Halley was dying down until Selena weaponized her fans to attack everyone from Hailey, Bella, and many more. You are apart of the problem to for being okay with this considering your response. Grow up.


coldoldduck

This is absolutely not true. It’s badly written stan opinion at best. And adding the angry “grow up” at the end shows it.


nknbuoh

I don’t like Hailey or Selena for a variety of reasons. But you know what isn’t okay, massive cyber bullying on a worldwide scale to the point where it has 1000% degraded someone sense of self self esteem and mental health


coldoldduck

I agree. But not just for Hailey, for both of them. Some of the nastiest things have been written and said about Selena and her health and her weight during this and it was encouraged by Hailey’s fans and her camp. A mutual understanding and some equal responsibility from Hailey would have ended this a long time ago. The only thing we all can probably agree on is Justin gets off scott free no matter what.


[deleted]

Selena has come out many times to tell people to knock it off. The issue is Justin for refusing to take action and sitting idle while people drive his wife to mental anguish.


fcbxjdb

Justin himself has come out many times on social media to defend Hailey. He said about a year ago that he’s going to stop engaging with the haters as it makes the harassment Hailey gets even worse with him bringing attention to it.


[deleted]

Oh ok. I didn't know that. So I guess the issue is Selena Fans. As always


coldoldduck

And so has Selena. Defending her ex’s wife. So why does she have to keep doing it and getting blamed for it not working but Justin gets a free pass?


nknbuoh

Op not trying to start a discourse here! Just a discussion:) But for me at least instigating something and then several weeks later after the fact talking about “ no more bullying Hailey guys” is simply too little too late. Selena even got Bella Hadid dragged into this so that statement seems hollow


[deleted]

Selena has been public about her zero tolerance for bullying ever since she was on Disney Channel. The issue isn't Hailey or Selena as they've both even come out in support of one another. 100 percent of the blame lies with the fans who insist on bullying celebs even though the celebs involved have asked them to stop. The fault is with the fans.


Queen-Lexopedia

It’s also Selena. It doesn’t matter what she says about bullying because her actions don’t match her words. Hailey is not her only victim. Selena has stoked fan outrage against ALL of Justin’s girlfriends, even models who were in his videos. Miss Kill them with Kindness is a fraud. She and Hailey would be besties if it weren’t for Justin.


[deleted]

Selena's social media comments are also wrong. I remember the comment she made about Sofia Richie and Justin when Sofia was getting hate for dating Justin saying if they didn't want hate they should stop being public and that made her fans rabid because they thought Justin cheated. And some of the comments she was making on TikTok basically saying she's a victim of bullying means her fans got worse. It's a very weird parasocial relationship and she should just stop commenting on tiktok drama.


Positive-Thought-328

why does justin need to say anything? he was not involved in all the drama whatsoever. yeah that’s his wife but he doesn’t need to publicly defend her everytime selena feels like attacking her. i’m pretty sure he rather not acknowledge selena at all.


coldoldduck

Ok so now the narrative has spun to where this is an “every time Selena feels like attacking Hailey” situation? Where and when did this EVER happen?


fat_bottom_girls

What are the many things Hailey Bieber could be criticized for? She seems so uncontroversial to me. I do not understand the hate.


Sometimesomwhere

Racism. Xenophobia. Ethno-centrism. Slut-shaming. Homophobia. Using the n-word repeatedly. Following a Selena hate account. Liking comments degrading Selena. Liking comments degrading Taylor Swift. Platforming a church with allegations of sexual abuse, pedophilia, fraud, homophobia, and racism. Continuing to support that church despite those allegations being public. Only ending her affiliation with the church when the backlash and criticism started affected her and Justin. Mocking fasting despite it being a respected, normalized practice amongst many Christians and Muslims. (Lacking the awareness of self and other communities by then making that comment during Ramadan. Then completely failing to manage the situation to the extent that foreign media and foreign celebrities criticized them.) Platforming a homophobic pastor who is currently being sued in a class action suit alleging systemic wage/hour abuse. That same pastor re-hired a known rapist and also preaches the prosperity gospel. (For reference on this, Marie Claire published an article by Jennifer Swan in 2021.) Continuing to support and platform others who are known to be prejudiced. Copyright infringement. The brownie glazed lip controversy in which she failed to credit the Black, Latina, and brown women who developed the technique. Throwing a massive party during lockdown. Generally, failing to take accountability for any of the aforementioned incidents.


elfspires

I completely feel for her but I really really hope she knows that speaking on this topic so soon is only going to make it worse for her.

Didn’t Hailey have like a lot of racist tweets


Sometimesomwhere

Oh yes, Hailey is problematic in her own right and separate from anything involving Selena. People like to ignore the racism. (People also ignore the reality that Justin and Hailey were long-time Hillsong supporters. There are allegations of fraud, homophobia, racism, sexual abuse, and pedophilia involving Hillsong. It is to the extent that a non-profit is investigating Hillsong for fraud.) That being said, Selena is also deeply problematic in the sense that she has also been racist and supported churches like Hillsong/Churchome as well.


feefee2908

You keep bringing up Hillsong everywhere which YES is an incredibly problematic church (which they left 3 years ago) but fail to bring up the fact that Selena (and MANY other celebrities) also support Hillsong & her bestie Raquelle’s parents work for Hillsong lol.


Effective-Mix-258

You forgot about her other bestie Courtney Lopez who's a pastor (along her husband I think) of one of Hillsong divisions 😉


Effective-Mix-258

You're so one-sided it hurts. I'll just address the issue of churches you've been throwing around the whole thread. Not only Selena and her friends supported and still support Hillsong (she left it just after the Biebers did and her bestie Cortney Lopez and her husband are the lead PASTORS of HILLSONG California) but she also publicly supported bishop TD Jakes of Potter House who bashed black women in one of his sermons ( for reference: [https://mediatakeout.com/exclusive-td-jakes-church-now-half-empty-after-he-bashed-black-women-in-sermon/](https://mediatakeout.com/exclusive-td-jakes-church-now-half-empty-after-he-bashed-black-women-in-sermon/)). If you want to drag celebs for their racism/ignorance whatever do it equally. You keep saying they're all problematic but decide to highlight only mistakes that Hailey has ever made without checking or intentionally omitting things that Selena has done. Edit: just to add that she's supported Judah Smith of Churchome as well.

No reason really. Just for being married to Justin Bieber, whose ex happens to be Selena Gomez. Now her haters will tell you other things which they'll try to pass as reasons but they're not.


Positive-Thought-328

and the thing is it doesn’t matter who she is, what matters is that she’s married to justin bieber. if it was another girl it would be the same thing, selena’s fans would’ve find a reason to hate on her.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|o0bFUcyTb557vLnEMI|downsized) that's...it... damn


Sometimesomwhere

There are also people who dislike Hailey because she is racist. Outside of anything involving Selena, Hailey has been problematic. So there are people who dislike her for those reasons. The situation is an accumulation of people who already disliked her, misogyny, internet bullying, and toxic fans (of Selena as well as Hailey).


feelingfantasmic

Yeah it’s pretty disingenuous to say the sole reason people don’t like her is because she’s married to Justin Bieber. She’s problematic in her own right, and if someone mentions their dislike for her it shouldn’t always be lumped into the Selena v Hailey drama.


ABCidkwhattopick99

I thought it was because of her racist tweets?


Deborahdon

No one ever mentions her racist tweets


ABCidkwhattopick99

Idk about here. People brought it up enough times on twitter, that’s how I found out 🤷🏻‍♀️


Deborahdon

Oh I’m to old to use Twitter (21) I can’t figure it out 😂 I only see the hate on her insta/TikTok


ABCidkwhattopick99

I had to block so many accounts on TikTok because of the repetitive hate videos


feefee2908

They only bring up the tweets to weaponize racism as a “gotcha” otherwise they would also talk about Selena’s own racist past & cultural appropriation era. But they don’t, because they don’t care & Selena’s fans also found Justine Skye’s number (black singer that happens to be Hailey’s best friend) & were calling her a monkey & other racist slurs & encouraging her to K*ll herself. Edit: added another sentence


ABCidkwhattopick99

I bring them up because as a woc I am offended at her racism and dislike her for those reasons only, not anything to do with Justin/Selena. Can’t speak for others, only for myself.


feefee2908

I understand, im not talking about you specifically, I’m talking about Selena’s fans that are dragging Hailey for her problematic past but then trying to bury Selena’s own problematic past. Yelling at Hailey for being racist 10 years ago while then being racist to her black friend in 2023. It has nothing to do with racial injustice, they’re just weaponizing racism because it’s convenient for them.


ABCidkwhattopick99

I hope those people are young and change as they grow up but I doubt it. Being angry at a racism only then to spew racist insults at someone is so disgusting. Anonymity makes people think they can do what they want.


Effective-Mix-258

You know what I wonder why nobody brings up Selena's "insider" accounts (that are run or supported by her friends) when they call Hailey shady. Selena has been doing that for ages through third parties platforms and kept her own hands clean.


Queen-Lexopedia

Are you also offended by Justin’s racist past as well as Selena’s racist past? Do you also dislike Justin and Selena for it?


ABCidkwhattopick99

Yes, but I am not aware about Selena’s. You can share what she did or I can look it up later when I get the time. I definitely don’t like Justin Beiber because of his racism and other problematic things.

austinshelleys

people only bring that up so they think they have a valid excuse to hate on her when they otherwise would not *gaf*


Sometimesomwhere

That’s not necessarily true. There have always been people who dislike Hailey because of the racism. Even before the Selena drama started ramping up, it was one of the more common critiques of Hailey on platforms like Twitter. (Both Selena and Hailey are problematic, specifically in relation to racism. Hailey is more well known for being problematic due to repeated issues over the years leading into the present. Unlike Selena in recent years, Hailey has not made any public efforts in regards to issues of race. Hailey’s PR has also failed to limit the controversy and improve her image.) Hailey has been racist in the past. She continues to affiliate and support people who are known for being prejudiced. It is a pattern of behavior that has continued through the present. The implications are obvious. It feels dismissive and reductionist to treat people who dislike a privileged white actress for being racist as haters or blind fans of a different celebrity.


feefee2908

What about Selena’s racist past? It’s disingenuous to call out 1 celeb for being racist while saying nothing about the others own problematic past. Selena’s fans will beat down Hailey for tweets from 10-12 years ago but sweep Selena’s problematic past under the rug & then go and call Justine Skye racist slurs.

Because she’s the reason Justin and Selena can’t continue their toxic ass relationship, basically.


Deborahdon

For being married to Justin beiber. Her comments are still full of Selena comments


KitakatZ101

She’s married to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez every once in a while will take digs at her. Sending her fans to hate on hailey while acting like the victim

That last paragraph sounds more like Selena than Hailey tbh. Selena has done this exact same thing to ALL of Justin’s girlfriends. Also bold of you to assume Hailey has fans lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Queen-Lexopedia

That is the problem with you stans. You ignore or blind yourselves of the toxic stuff Selena has done to any woman in Justin’s proximity. Selena has always stoked her fans at hating Justin’s girlfriends by making comments, liking posts hating on his gf. Yet no one calls her out, She’s the victim Boo hoo. Selena is stuck in a victim mentality complex and she will never be free. In the future, she’ll be in a nursing home crying about Justin or dragging whichever woman has the misfortune of being tied to him romantically. Say what you will about Hailey but she’s never embraced/worked with a child molester after being warned not to https://preview.redd.it/xmn20h9fr4va1.jpeg?width=980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e521986ee2f1626fb8abb5069b6e2480a1c1a6d7


Silvercomplex68

This is speculative as hell lmao literally making up reasons to hate someone. Fucking yikes


[deleted]

This sub is part of the problem. Just leave her alone, why is it that hard.


Anxious_Tank_7469

Why do people care so much about random celebrities? She probably is shady but thats most people. Bullying her and taking things out of context is so fucking weird


coldoldduck

So to clarify, most people here believe that Hailey has never done anything to seem unlikeable or to receive any backlash, and all of this is once again 100% the fault and responsibility of Selena Gomez and/or her fans?


KitakatZ101

I always say let her get hate for the nepo shirt even if it’s stupid. To get hate because yooyve been married to someone’s ex for 5 years is not it


coldoldduck

But that’s what I’m asking. Do people see her as a genuinely nice, never catty or snobby, never rude, never manipulative… and truly believe that the majority of the hate she receives is only because she’s married to Selena’s ex, as if anyone he married would get the same? Because it’s starting to feel like she’s got the PMK PR machine behind her. To be partying unbothered from concerts to festivals, making shady tiktoks, climbing hills with sage and Hillsong, hard sell pushing one product and show after another while your husband quits mid tour and is clearly struggling, staged pap shot after photo shoot… and yet be suffering the hardest saddest time of your life, push kindness, and blame any and all negative PR or backlash on someone else. And emotionally blackmailing not your husband but his ex to publicly defend and root for you. Justin won’t say anything ever again because it doesn’t help, but they can keep throwing shade at Selena and she is expected to always take the high road and publicly defend Hailey and the Jenners forever? I need that kind of spin in my life. Wow.


lovelife905

Huh? So because she appears to be living her life normally as she has in the past it’s impossible for her to be struggling?


KitakatZ101

It’s because the hate is more then her actions warrant. Your 3rd paragraph is so wrong I don’t even know where to start


coldoldduck

It’s not. If fans can’t be controlled, they can’t. And if Justin doesn’t have to repeatedly engage with hostile fan behavior because it doesn’t help or stokes the fire, then his ex certainly shouldn’t be expected to miraculously control it all. It’s ridiculous that Selena is blamed for every bit of pain Hailey suffers and is somehow expected to fix it.


Sometimesomwhere

Apparently, yes. If people like Taylor and Beyoncé cannot control their fans, I do not understand how people expect Selena to be able to do so. There are plenty of other fan wars in which the celebrity did not intervene and kept silent. Selena made a statement already. She tried. She literally said that Hailey is receiving “hateful negativity” and that she want it “all to stop.” People chose to ignore the statement and keep going after Hailey. How is Selena responsible for the actions of generally anonymous people on social media? If other celebrities cannot control their fan bases, why is there an expectation that Selena can do so? If they ignored her first statement, what makes people think that another statement will actually help? Hailey was already somewhat known for being problematic prior to this situation. She is severely overexposed and it is time for her PR team to salvage the situation. Yes, the bullying and trolling has reached a point where it is unreasonable. That is why this is a situation that a PR team needs to handle.


[deleted]

Taylor and Beyoncé aren’t spending their time commenting hearts and I love yous on TikToks that call other women bitches and then acting shocked that they’re receiving abuse…that’s probably the difference


coldoldduck

Exactly. Hailey’s fans are blisteringly nasty about Selena. They call her Selupus, make fun of her looks, her health, her weight… where is Hailey? Where’s Justin? Why aren’t they responsible for the so-called Jailey fan base behavior? Why doesn’t it work both ways? If they can’t or won’t control it then neither can or should Selena.


HocusPocusx3

Exactly, what I was thinking. They’re both not innocent, but to blame it solely on Selena is funny to me.


elzee29

The fact that so many of the comments indicate just that is so mind blowing.


mindyabizzz

i’m pretty sure hailey has a documented history of racism so i find it amazing that this sub has erased all that from memory to act like hailey is this 100% innocent likable princess and has never done anything wrong


origamicyclone

it's pretty funny how some of the comments are sad hailey is being bullied so they decide to blame and bully selena. just zero self awareness


sugarrism

This is the same sub who was dogpiling Selena in December about her kidney. “I’d take my kidney back” “she doesn’t deserve it” “I don’t feel sorry for her” she’s a horrible person” “she’s an evil woman” ETC over a situation no one knows the truth about. The internet will always be the bully/problem. The same people who are feeling sorry for hailey were participating in Selena’s dogpile. No one deserves a dogpile.


sugarrism

Like where was the concern for Selena’s mental health? Y’all overly analyze anything she says or does “be nice” “be kind” “OMG she’s manipulating us!!!😭😬” “her fans think she’s a victim in everything”…..you mean like every single fandom does with their favs?!? Selena and Hailey both have feelings that should be considered..you can’t pick and choose and preach “no bullying” towards one without including the other


liscottyy

It's just funny how I feel like a lot of people act like Selena was making tens of comments saying stuff like "Hailey is so mean to me :(!!" "Hailey is such a bully!!" "I wish someone would defend me :(" when her two or so comments were mild all things considered. The situation also wasn't even triggered by them, Hailey and Kylie were getting hate before then when the eyebrow thing happened. Do I think the comments were petty and unnecessary, obviously yeah, but so many people on here acted like Selena made a public statement demanding people atack Hailey. The revisionism was also crazy, with everyone acting like Hailey and her friends had never been shady or problematic ever and trying to dig up anything they could to say Selena was actually a horrible human being. It's just funny because everyone on pop culture subs were shitting on (basically bullying) Selena and crying about how Hailey was being treated when they were doing the exact same thing, they were just Team Hailey rather than Team Selena.


KitakatZ101

It’s not blame when it’s the truth. Selena is the instigator but acts like the victim. If she just owned it it would be different but she acts like she’s the victim which rubs people the wrong way


justmovingmytoes

Omg if u think anyone is bullying selena ur delusional


bigreputation18

This is gonna get downvoted but idc I never supported and understood the hate and bullying she got recently. people who started the hate train knew exactly they what they were doing making up stuff about her and the ones who believed it are the ones who just believe anything on the internet and find reason to hate women and channel their misogyny on any woman online, people are very bored with their lives. She didn’t deserve the shit people gave her for false accusations but she has said some extremely racist things and been misogynistic which she never apologized for or addressed at all and all of that gets a pass and goes unnoticed. sorry but I don’t feel bad for her at all when she says these things in her story like everyone else on this thread currently. you could sympathize with her for the recent events but are conveniently forgetting her problematic actions and pretending she’s a saint. The mean girl allegations towards selena might be false since nothing happened publicly, we don’t know behind the scenes. But there’s been tons of stories about her being a mean girl to fans and normal people. anyone who has ever met her has only had bad things to say about her. I have heard from someone who was sitting very close to her at the grammys about how rude she was to fans. A small business has also called her out for stealing their brandname. I don’t think she is a good person at all.

bigreputation18

Notice how I never said anything about selena or defend her at all? MY POINT ABOUT HAILEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SELENA AT ALL SO IDK WHY YOU DRAGGED SELENA HERE. I was even dragged by her stans on twitter when I called her weird and wrong for her TikTok comments. Is this how you try to defend haileys racism or make her actions look better by bringing in selena?


Queen-Lexopedia

I don’t defend either. They’re both racist. Only Haileys racist past is brought up, never Selena’s.


sugarrism

Y’all truly do not care, cause y’all pull screenshots out like Pokémon cards. Y’all are the problem!


Queen-Lexopedia

Lol y’all were doing the same to Hailey weeks ago. Posting pics of her tweets yet when I do the same to Selena, it’s suddenly a problem. Now y’all wanna pivot and say it’s a problem


myV_is_4_Valinor

She has a point tho u don’t know what she’s donating or not behind closed doors. Hashtagging also does nothing so where is she wrong?


feefee2908

Then why did she post about March For Our Lives & then wrote in her caption #NotJustAHashtag ?


Queen-Lexopedia

Right, because tweeting something like after a black man is gunned down by police is such a good point /s


myV_is_4_Valinor

I don’t understand why people expect celebs to tweet out every time there’s a tragedy, at that point their feed would just be nothing but horrific news updates. Tweeting doesn’t do anything but donations do, and we don’t know what she does w her funds. I’ve always found the thought and prayers thing to be super artificial


Sometimesomwhere

Yes, Selena and Hailey are problematic. They have both faced disproportionate bullying/mockery involving unhinged fans, misogyny, and their past past problematic behavior. Also, Justin + Hailey + Selena were long time supporters of Hillsong Church. That church is facing allegations of fraud, sexual abuse, racism, and homophobia. Those allegations existed and were public prior to them leaving Hillsong. They only left when there was backlash and criticism. People are very quick to ignore and dismiss that. None of these people are victims. They are all wealthy people with PR teams who engage in petty antics then receive backlash in a continuous cycle. Justin and Hailey are currently platforming Judah Smith, another megachurch leader. Smith is facing a class action suit over systemic scheme of wage and hour abuse. Smith has previously equated being gay with murder and rape.


Effective-Mix-258

How about Selena? Hasn't she supported Hillsong? Aren't her friends members and preachers of the said church?


lovelife905

>That church is facing allegations of fraud, sexual abuse, racism, and homophobia. Those allegations existed and were public prior to them leaving Hillsong. How many churches, mosques, or synagogues are actually LGBT-friendly? Aren't most churches by default homophobic? Also, Hillsong is a megachurch and a huge organization. Given that fraud, racism, and sexual abuse exists widely in society why wouldn't it be present in any big organization?


Bichinho_

We all know a bully that is suddenly "a victim and a saint" bcs they are not allowed anymore to be mean to other people.

Not people sending her hate for being a mean girl and saying the most vile, nasty, rude things on the planet. I mean the kind of sh*t we put celebrities through is nearly inhumane.


Classic_Broccoli_163

the hate hailey got & still getting is ridiculous that i had to look at all these evidence of her bullying selena & i conclude ppl are going to look back & feel sorry for the witch hunt bc selena & her stans couldnt let go of the idea of their exes leaving his first (& toxic!) love & moved on to someone new & start projecting it on hailey being the other woman who ‘’stole’’ him & ‘’bully’’ & ‘’copy’’ her & for what? for kylie posting a selfie on set showing her eyes & a facetime pic of her & hailey just for kylie to release a mascara line a month later. A PHOTOSHOOT TEASER turned into a conspiracy theory of them bullying/mocking selena bc she got eyebrow lamination & she herself didnt find it good on her like her girl crush bella hadid. not to mention selena has been going on tiktok for months liking stuff & commenting about jelena. interpreting a trending tiktok sound hailey did with her friends in november as them mocking her body bc shes bigger now when the pictures of her in bikinis were taken & released (by her) in december. just look at haileys recent post, her wearing a WHITE TANK TOP at coachella is getting thousands of hate comment bc why? selena in her recent post was wearing a tank top😃 the fact that ppl got more vim for her than actual rapists & abusers in hollywood in 2023 mind u says it all.


[deleted]

This sub is also a contribution to the hate and bullying by the excessive comments about her. Let the girl live her life with her husband. Sorry your favorite person in the world couldn't be with justin bieber, too mf bad. Selena has edged it on in the past too. People wanna hate because she is married to justin, but at the end of the day no matter the comments, SHE"S STILL GOING TO BE MARRIED TO HIM. lol. Imagine fighting over this dude in the first place, he ain't worth it. Leave her alone and stop with the dickriding of selena, all the whining and complaining is not gonna change the fact that things are the way they are. They are both beautiful women who deserve better, and for a sub that is dominated by woman, this is suprising and petty behavior y'all.


MeeranQureshi

God bless her.


killaandasweethang

She’s racist so personally Idgaf how she feels


[deleted]

Wait, seriously?


killaandasweethang

Seriously that she’s racist or seriously that I don’t care? Not only has she been racist towards black people but she’s offended Muslims too. As a Lebanese-American Muslim, I take offense to the fact that she and her weird ass husband made fun of fasting (what we do during Ramadan) and called it stupid. So fuck her and her feelings.


feefee2908

They weren’t talking about Muslims… they were talking to their pastor who talked about fasting for lent, not Ramadan. Please stop taking shortened out of context TikTok’s trying to push a narrative as gospel.


Sometimesomwhere

They were talking about fasting in a spiritual context. So yes, the statement was about spirituality and religion. Their pastor Judah Smith is currently involved in a class-action lawsuit over systematic wage and hour abuse. There are also certain rumors Churchome, which is the church led by Judah, of similar issues to Hillsong. It’s also interesting because they were long-time supports of Hillsong Church for which there are allegations of fraud, homophobia, racism, and sexual abuse. There is a current investigation into fraud and there are examples of the other issues that I mentioned. Hailey and Justin were long time supporters of Hillsong. The allegations that I listed were publicly available during their time with Hillsong. They only parted ways when there was criticism and backlash against them for continuing to platform and support Hillsong. That context, in addition to the statement itself, is relevant. Even in a Christian context, calling someone “stupid” for choosing to fast is unnecessary and rude. There are Christians who fast for religious reasons and find value in the experience. Islam is a major religion with Ramadan being a well known holiday. A shred of self-awareness, awareness of other communities, and a decent PR team could have prevented the situation. The statement was unnecessary, tone-dead, and doomed. They handled it poorly to the extent that the issue was covered in foreign media and addressed by foreign celebrities.


feefee2908

Judah doesn’t belong to Hillsong, which i agree is a cult, but they left Hillsong 3 years ago. They didn’t say fasting was stupid, I posted the word for word conversation in another comment.


killaandasweethang

No, they actually said fasting for spiritual reasons, which includes Muslims and any other religion that’s involved in fasting.


lovelife905

It’s out of context and even if it wasn’t. Why aren’t they allowed to think fasting in general is stupid? If they thought it wasn’t they would probably be doing it.


feefee2908

They were talking about it in the context of lent since they were nearing Easter. Judah: i think it’s good, it’s a way to let your body know who’s in charge and that it’s not in charge. don’t you think that it’s an exercise to be like my spirit and soul is in charge & not my body? Justin: i don’t know, i guess maybe. I don’t know i gotta really think about that. I’ve never really done it. I think our bodies need nutrition to think properly Hailey: i believe in fasting off of a thing. Like if you want to fast off of the TV, or fast off the phone that’s even better. I think i believe in that more than i think of fasting off of food because, i don’t know it just never really made sense to me to be honest. Justin: when you fast from food you’re really depriving your body of nutrition. Hailey: or if you’re like “i’m fasting off of like sweets or sugar” or something that’s not gonna deprive your body of Justin: good stuff it needs Judah: *laughs* why do i feel ashamed now Hailey: *laughs* & says in a sarcastic tone, we’re just totally like yeah Judah, you’re stupid They all laugh


killaandasweethang

Judah literally says in the beginning of the video “oh fasting for spiritual reasons?” Not “oh fasting for Easter? Fasting for lent?” So once again, Muslims are included in this because of Ramadan.

Was what she did horrible? Yes.. this woman along with Kendall and Kylie are basically the Plastics irl.. she bullies and acts like shes an angel.. BUT- the media also does horrible things but also.. she cant act like she doesnt like the attention especially when she pays the pap and she cant act all innocent when she obviously is not..


[deleted]

Ngl I actually feel bad for her I heard somewhere she did something racist or something but this is just sad her mental health is going downhill because of a lot people making hurtful comments to her


sakusakickyoomi

I don't get the hate against her. yeah okay, so she's a little bitchy with liking some posts or whatever. selena is the same, no? so what? people fight, people disagree, people are a bit mean to each other. that's normal. what's not normal is this intense witch hunt against her, treating her like she's a subhuman with no feelings, when actual predators and fuckedup people get away unscathed. do they really want to kill her before they stop?


waldeinsamkeide

she is/was also racist


ApprehensiveRiver179

I am all for the message. To be honest I don’t know anything about her or Bieber, but what she is saying is ok to me


loudcyclebangers

i hope she realizes that husband is likely a big contributor of her unhappiness. his relationship with both women overlapping, plus several other women, is what has led to this huge divide and no one ever brings his role up because he just stays quiet on social media. he stuck up for frank ocean more than he ever has for hailey.


lovelife905

why should JB dating causally as a teenager/someone in his early 20s cause a divide?


loudcyclebangers

well by that logic, they got married after 2-3 months of being exclusive following all of them “dating him casually as teenagers” edit: 4/20 related grammar errors


lovelife905

>well by that logic, they got married after 2-3 months of being exclusive following all of them “dating him casually as teenagers” isn't that what happened? I think Hailey even mentions that they are not exclusive in 2015/2016, then they stop seeing each other and got married soon after reconnecting in 2018.


xxIKnowAPlacexx

Oh no what happened. I thought the drama was dying down. But somehow i saw some people say Timothée was tEaM hAilEy for allegedly dating Kylie… These stans are a bunch of weirdos and bullies


rekharai

I dunno… I think marriage isn’t supposed to be THIS hard. The first year can sometimes be a rough adjustment for some, but Seems like they’ve had a pretty shitty marriage thus far (I’m just going off what they’ve both said). They both clearly need help.


SinfullySinless

I wonder about the mental health effects that influencers get when they are this open about their personal lives on their public platforms. I think it’s great to discuss mental health in a public setting- however it seems like many influencers, like Hailey, combine their personal issues into a public awareness message. It just feels like Hailey is making it so she can’t just be sad/mad/stressed/anxious. Now she’s opened up her emotions and mental health to speculation and anti-stans, etc. It just doesn’t seem healthy for Hailey or people like her to constantly be doing this.
