As a model, television personality, and wife to pop sensation Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber has often found herself in the public eye. Nevertheless, she has also been thrust into the limelight due to her feud with her partner's former flame, Selena Gomez. However, Selena's passionate fans have contributed to the feud by casting Hailey as the "mean girl."

Hailey and Selena's biggest feud centered on allegations of body-shaming. This dispute began when the 'Wolves' singer faced unwarranted criticism for her bikini photos, despite her natural beauty. Hailey's TikTok video, where she lip-synced to the phrase, "I’m not saying she deserved it, but God’s timing is always right," led fans to view it as an implied insult. Hailey swiftly removed the TikTok, stating it had no specific target, while Selena responded by advocating kindness in the face of negativity.

After Selena playfully shared a TikTok video joking about 'over-laminating' her eyebrows, Kylie Jenner posted a selfie on her Instagram stories, captioning, "This was an accident?" humorously referencing her own eyebrows. Subsequently, Kylie shared a screenshot of a FaceTime conversation with Hailey, focusing on close-ups of their eyebrows. The Rare beauty mogul's supporters swiftly assumed that Kylie was teasing Selena leading to thousands of them unfollowing the 'Kylie Cosmetics' owner on Instagram.

An old video of Hailey resurfaced, where she seemed to make a derogatory gesture regarding Taylor Swift, who happens to be Selena's closest friend. This clip was originally shown in a 2018 episode of 'Drop The Mic' and featured Hailey's gagging reaction when Taylor's album was mentioned. As this video circulated, Selena decided to address the issue herself, posting a TikTok message that stated, "So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game."

Hailey has a tattoo of a 'J' on her ring finger to honor her husband but fans have noted that it is similar to a ring Selena wore while dating the 'Boyfriend' singer. These same critics note that Hailey launched a cooking show online and a skincare line within a few years of Selena hosting her own cooking show and launching her makeup line.

TikTok user Kimona Elizabeth initially claimed that Hailey Bieber was her middle school bully. She posted a video of herself captioning, “Think you can hurt me? Hailey (Baldwin) Bieber was my middle school bully. I was in 5th grade. Hailey was in 6th. She bullied me. Middle school is full of kids who are either the bullies or the bullied. Unfortunately, I was the bullied. And for that year, Hailey was my bully. It happens.”

The biggest allegation against Hailey is she "took" Justin from Selena. The 'Baby' singer dated both women on and off throughout the 2010s, reuniting with Selena briefly just two months before marrying Hailey in 2018. Although Hailey asserts there was no overlap, fans contend otherwise and tend to place the blame on Hailey rather than Justin Bieber who was flitting between the two.
