That’s why Hailey Bieber is being canceled on TikTok right now

analysis

Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez are currently splitting tempers on TikTok. But the drama between the two goes deeper than previously thought.

If you don’t use TikTok, your life is basically easier. But he also misses the drama about Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber – and that’s the way it is juicy like it hasn’t been for a long time. But don’t worry, here’s one deep dive into the spectacle, which has dragged on for years now.

how it all started

For all Boomers: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are the Gen Z and millennial counterparts of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. And for all those who otherwise don’t get much from the celebrity world: the two stars were in a very intense on-off relationship from 2010 to 2018. So intense that Justin got a tattoo of Selena as an angel on his arm.

Processed the drama from her love life Elena (the couple’s ship name) often featured in their music, drawing even more attention to their relationship. This is how hits like Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and Selena Gomez’s “Lose You to Love Me” came about.

The couple was last seen together on Valentine’s Day in 2018. At the time, it was rumored that Justin proposed to the singer.

Six months later – in September 2018 – Justin’s wedding bells did indeed ring. However, he did not marry Selena, but a hitherto relatively unknown face in Hollywood: Hailey Baldwin.

Who is Hailey Baldwin/Bieber?

Hailey Baldwin is the daughter of Stephen Baldwin and niece of actor Alec Baldwin. She began her modeling career in 2014 when she was first signed to Ford Models when she was 18. Today Hailey Baldwin is called Hailey Bieber and is one of the most successful models in the world.

Hailey’s obsession with Justin Bieber

Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber first met on The Today Show in 2009. To this day, rumor has it that Hailey’s influential father orchestrated their meeting to grant his daughter a wish. Because: Hailey Baldwin was a big Justin Bieber fan.

There are countless videos by Justin Bieber in which Hailey Baldwin can be seen in the background. The American is said to have followed several “stalker” accounts on Instagram, which published Justin’s current position. There are also tweets from Hailey from 2011, in which she writes: “I’m 100% Team Jelena ” or “Justin and Selena are the definition of a teenage dream.”

TikTok Drama I

Now we come to the actual drama that brought the whole story back to life. In early January 2023, paparazzi photos of Selena Gomez were published, showing her with more weight. The singer suffers from the autoimmune disease “lupus” and has to take medication that leads to weight gain and a swollen face. In the tabloids they were literally torn up for the pictures.

Five days later, Hailey Bieber posted a tiktok with Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye in which she shared a song lipsync. The lyrics of the song: “I’m not saying she deserves it, but the timing of God is always right.”

Many fans then assumed that the video was directed at Selena. That’s because all three protagonists have an ugly past with her.

Kendall Jenner is said to have had an affair with the singer during Selena and Justin’s relationship, and Justine Skye has publicly criticized the musician’s beauty brand. The video has since been deleted. The whole thing would probably have vanished into thin air if it wasn’t for…

TikTok Drama II

Selena Gomez posted a video on TikTok in mid-February of herself joking about accidentally getting her brow lamination a little too much.

Just hours later, Hailey’s bosom friend Kylie Jenner (not the same as before, they all just have the same name) posted a story to Instagram showing her face and the words emblazoned above her eyebrow: “THAT was an accident?? ???» In the same story, Jenner posted another picture in which she and Hailey Bieber can be seen both raising their eyebrows to the camera.

And so we come to…

TikTok Drama III.

TikTok escalated to Kylie’s story. Since then, Hailey Bieber, like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, have been literally torn to pieces on the platform. Videos from the past suddenly appeared showing how “toxic” Hailey Bieber and her friends are, and the clique was described by users as the “mean girls” of our time.

The uproar also made Selena Gomez the most-followed woman on Instagram again. Many fans “revenged” Kylie by unfollowing her and following her and her friends’ profiles Selena Gomez. This is how Selena Kylie pushed off her 380 million follower throne and has 394 million followers to date.

TikTok drama IV., or also: Hailey’s obsession with Selena

Since the beginning of all the drama, TikTok has been split between Team Selena and Team Hailey. It should be noted, however, that Selena’s team is a lot bigger than Hailey’s. Some fans have become almost obsessive on the subject, theorizing that Hailey is obsessed with Selena – and finding “evidence” that makes even the silent viewer wonder.

On Twitter, for example, there are some tweets from 2011 in which Hailey raves about Selena and writes: “Selena Gomez is so cute. Not resist talking. Bye.” Or: “Selena Gomez looks so hot in her new music video”.

What’s really surprising, however, is the evidence that Hailey Bieber has been copying Selena Gomez for years. Some examples of this would be:

Justin’s role in the drama

Although the alleged disagreements between Hailey and Selena were sparked by Justin Bieber, Justin gets comparatively little from the hatred.

And that despite the fact that he seems to be the reason for the breakup with Selena. After the breakup, Selena accused him of emotionally abusing her. In addition, after the news of Justin and Hailey’s wedding broke, Selena was hospitalized multiple times for panic attacks and mental health issues. Nevertheless, the musician keeps pouring gasoline into the fire. One of his latest songs “Ghost”, in which he sings about a past love, is said to be about Selena.

Conclusion

In a drama like this, it’s difficult to see what’s still true. Especially when the whole thing takes place on TikTok. In addition, there is talk of celebrities who are backed by huge marketing agencies that are responsible for ensuring that their protégés remain relevant in Hollywood. So what about publicity heard is difficult to assess.

Nevertheless, great respect if you have read this far. But now it’s time to get out of the TikTok hole again, because I’m starting to feel something too obsessed:
