HAILEY & SELENA FEUD TURNS NASTY

AS THEIR RECENT SPAT CONTINUES, MORE STARS HAVE BEEN DRAWN INTO THE MESSY DRAMA

Over a decade ago, a young Hailey Baldwin crafted a tweet that would come back to haunt her. "I don't care what anyone says, but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream! #word," she wrote in the since-deleted post.

In 2023, things have devolved into more of a nightmare. Although Hailey, 26, has been married to Bieber, 29, since 2018, rumours have resurfaced that her feud with Gomez is ramping up full tilt.

The two stars have been pitted against each other for years, with many fans believing their relationships with Bieber overlapped.

Hailey set the record straight during her September 2022 Call Her Daddy podcast interview. "I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody - that's the end of it," she said, adding as far as Gomez was concerned, "It's all respect, it's all love. There's no drama." Months later, the duo even posed for a photo together.

"It's not a big deal," Gomez later commented on the viral image. "It's not even a thing." Not so fast. Their new social media spat has taken on a life of its own, roping in A-listers as they take sides and seemingly taking a toll on Bieber.
