\"Hailey Hailey Bieber is once again speaking out about the long-standing feud rumors between her and Selena Gomez<\/a>. The 28-year-old Rhode Beauty founder addressed the narrative in a new interview, making it clear she wants nothing to do with the drama. The speculation, which has followed both women for over a decade, stems from their shared romantic history with pop star Justin Bieber<\/a>, whom Hailey married in 2018.<\/p>\n

What Hailey said in the new interview<\/p>\n

In a cover interview for WSJ. Magazine’s Innovators Issue, published on Tuesday, October 14, Hailey expressed her frustration with the situation. \u201cIt\u2019s always annoying being pitted against other people,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t ask for that.\u201d The model, who welcomed her son Jack Blues with Justin in August 2024, also added, \u201cWhen people want to see you a certain way and they\u2019ve made up a story about you in their minds, it\u2019s not up to you to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ‘shady’ comment and publicist intervention<\/p>\n

The interview was conducted as Hailey’s brand, Rhode, launched in Sephora, where Gomez’s successful Rare Beauty line is also sold. When asked if she felt competitive, Hailey replied, \u201cI think there is space for everybody.\u201d However, she followed it with a comment that some readers found shady: \u201cI don\u2019t feel competitive with people that I\u2019m not inspired by.\u201d When the interviewer pressed, asking if she was nervous about shoppers comparing the two brands, her publicist instructed her not to respond. Reps for Hailey later told Page Six that none of her comments were about Selena Gomez directly.<\/p>\n

A history of the public narrative<\/p>\n

The narrative began after Hailey married Justin in 2018, shortly after his final breakup with Gomez. The ‘Love On’ singer, 33, who just married Benny Blanco on Sept. 27, had an on-again, off-again relationship with Justin for years. Back in January 2016, after Justin posted a photo of himself kissing Hailey, Gomez told Rolling Stone, “Honestly, what I would love to be printed is that I am so beyond done with talking about that, and him.”<\/p>\n

From a public truce to unfollowing again<\/p>\n

The feud narrative has persisted, even after both women made public attempts to end it. They famously posed for viral photos together at the Academy Music Gala in October 2022, and the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ star once publicly asked her fans to “stop” cyberbullying Hailey. For a time, there was an online peace: Hailey “liked” Gomez\u2019s engagement announcement, and Selena returned the favor for Hailey’s Vogue cover. However, in June, fans noticed the two were no longer following each other on Instagram. Hailey has previously expressed her exhaustion with the topic, telling Bloomberg\u2019s The Circuit in June 2023, \u201cI hate it… it’s so disappointing that people still behave this way over a man.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hailey Bieber is once again speaking out about the long-standing feud rumors between her and Selena Gomez.
