For weeks TikTok has been ablaze about a rumored feud between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber.
Now it appears things have gone too far and Gomez is stepping in.
The “Only Murders in the Building” actress took to Instagram early Friday to speak out against death threats made to Bieber.
“Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negatively,” Gomez penned. “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.”
Eagle-eyed fans noticed Gomez started following Bieber again on the platform.
Hailey took to Instagram hours later to thank Gomez for speaking out.
“I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I,” Bieber said in her Instagram stories. “The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful. While social media is an incredible way to connect and build community, moments like this only create extreme division instead of bringing people together.”
“Things can always be taken out of context or constructed differently than they were intended,” she continued. “We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself. 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.”
The rumor mill has claimed the two women loathed each other for years because of Justin Bieber. Gomez famously dated the pop star, but in 2019, Bieber and Hailey tied the knot.
Just last month, fans hinted at a feud between the two women after a video surfaced of the model pretending to gag at the mention of Taylor Swift. That prompted Gomez to come to her friend’s defense.
Fans also claim Hailey and Kylie Jenner made fun of Selena’s eyebrows.
Jenner denied that claim and Gomez supported her in this as well.
