Hailey Bieber breaks silence over claims she ‘liked’ shady Selena Gomez post

Claims that Hailey Bieber is allegedly in a feud with Selena Gomez have once again resurfaced following a bizarre online incident.

Hailey Bieber denied claims that she “liked” a shady TikTok video mocking Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez and Gomez’s fiance, Benny Blanco.

“This never happened,” the model’s rep told The New York Post’s Page Six in a statement on Sunday.

“This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalise off of an old, tired narrative,” the spokesman added of TikTok creator @courtneypresto’s alleged screenshot of Hailey’s “like” on the video.

In the TikTok video posted February 14, the content creator slammed Gomez and Blanco’s Interview Magazine cover shoot.

“this is the WORST,” @courtneypresto captioned her clip criticising the couple’s loved-up photo shoot.

The netizen admitted her video was “being a little shady” toward Gomez — who dated Justin on and off from 2010 to 2018.

The content creator posted a screenshot.

The content creator claimed that Hailey’s alleged “like” on the video proved the beef between her and Gomez was “alive and well”.

“I feel like this is definitive proof that when Hailey Bieber is like, ‘Oh, it’s all love. It’s all good, we have absolutely no beef. Everything is completely fine,’ she’s lying,” the social media user said.

Hailey, 28, and Gomez, 32, were pitted against each other after both being romantically involved with the Yummy hitmaker.

In March 2023, the Only Murders in the Building star defended Hailey on social media after the Rhode Skin founder received “death threats and such hateful negativity”.

“I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop,” Gomez wrote.

Hailey then expressed her gratitude to the Rare Beauty founder for “speaking out” against the online hate.

“We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself,” the model wrote at the time. “In the end, I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity, and there is always an opportunity to meet each other with more empathy and compassion.”

Hailey has previously denied claims that she “stole” Justin from Gomez.

The Peaches singer, now 31, proposed to Hailey in July 2018 and they tied the knot that September. The pair welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, in August 2024.

Gomez, for her part, confirmed her romance with Blanco, 37, in December 2023. She announced her engagement to the record producer on Instagram a year later.

At the time, Hailey showed her support by “liking” Gomez’s engagement post.
