Selena Gomez is clearing the air (again) on social media (again) about her rumored and seemingly long-standing feud with Hailey Bieber.
The Selena-Hailey situation has been literally going on for years now. Earlier this year, Hailey and her reps had to put out statements after speculation that she shaded Selena on TikTok.
Now, there’s new rumors of rancor emerging from Hailey’s recent interview with WSJ. Magazine, in which she addresses her Rhode beauty brand being compared with other brands. (In case you forgot, Selena also has a beauty brand, Rare.)
“It’s always annoying being pitted against other people,” she said. “I didn’t ask for that…I think there is space for everybody…I don’t feel competitive with people that I’m not inspired by.”
Naturally, speculation ensued that Hailey was referring specifically to Selena — especially in regards to that comment about who she’s inspired by. For what it’s worth, TMZ claims that sources connected to Hailey that she wasn’t referring to Selena, so there’s that as well.
Of course, Selena’s seldom met a topic that she won’t comment on social media about — so she issued her own statement regarding Hailey’s comments on a since-deleted IG Story slide.
“Just leave the girl alone,” she wrote. “She can say whatever she wants. Doesn’t affect my life whatsoever. It’s just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop.”
OK! I’d like to say that this is the end of all the feud speculation, but who are we kidding…until next time.
