Selena Gomez has seemingly responded to recent comments made by Hailey Bieber regarding their rumored feud. The Rhode Beauty founder, Hailey Bieber, 28, decided not to directly address a question about comparisons between her brand and Gomez’s Rare Beauty in a cover interview for WSJ. Magazine’s Innovators Issue. Despite attempts to squash the rumors, the ongoing speculation about a feud between the two beauty moguls persists.

In a now-deleted Instagram Stories post, Gomez, 33, appeared to react to Hailey’s comments. The post, dated October 17, featured a message from the singer urging to leave Hailey alone. Gomez wrote, “She can say whatever she wants. Doesn’t affect [my] life whatsoever. It’s just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone.” She concluded the message with hopes that everyone can move past the speculation.
Hailey’s interview with WSJ. Magazine, published on October 14, coincided with the launch of Rhode at Sephora, where Gomez’s Rare Beauty is also available. During the interview, Hailey expressed her frustration at being compared to others, stating, “It’s always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn’t ask for that.” Referring to the perceptions people hold, Hailey added, “When people want to see you a certain way and they’ve made up a story about you in their minds, it’s not up to you to change that.”
The history of the alleged feud between the two women dates back to Gomez’s past relationship with Hailey’s now-husband, Justin Bieber. The speculation intensified over the years despite public efforts made by both Gomez and Hailey to put an end to it, including a joint appearance at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ annual gala in 2022.
In previous instances, Hailey has been vocal about denouncing fan theories about the feud, labeling them as “vile” and “disgusting.” She highlighted the potential dangers of such narratives and emphasized that the issue goes beyond just the individuals involved. Hailey has expressed her dismay at the negative impact such unfounded rumors can have, especially in creating unnecessary tension between women that is rooted in a twisted narrative.
As the ongoing speculation continues, both Gomez and Hailey have reiterated their focus on positivity and inclusivity within the beauty industry. They have emphasized the need to support and uplift each other rather than perpetuating baseless feuds. The messages from both women suggest a desire for the public to move past the fabricated narratives and embrace a more supportive and understanding stance.
The public response to these recent statements from Gomez and Hailey has sparked discussions about the importance of not fueling unnecessary conflicts and instead promoting unity in the industry. As fans and observers await further developments, the messages of kindness and support from both women serve as a reminder of the power of empathy and collaboration in bridging perceived divides.
In a world where gossip and speculation often overshadow genuine connections, the insights shared by Gomez and Hailey present a refreshing perspective on rising above unwarranted conflicts. By choosing to focus on empowerment and mutual respect, the two women set an example for fostering a more harmonious and supportive environment within the beauty community and beyond.
