Selena Gomez has once again stepped into the spotlight of her long-rumored feud with Hailey Bieber, this time with a now-deleted Instagram post that both called for kindness and delivered what many saw as a subtle dig.
In the post, Gomez urged her fans to “just leave the girl alone”, referring to Bieber, and added that Hailey could say whatever she wanted because it “doesn’t affect my life whatsoever.” But it was her next line “It’s just about relevance, not intelligence” that set social media ablaze, with many interpreting it as a pointed remark.
Though the post was quickly removed, screenshots spread rapidly online, fueling speculation about whether Gomez was trying to shut down the narrative or slyly reignite it. Fans were divided in their reactions. Some praised her for maintaining composure while still clapping back with elegance, while others criticized the contradiction of asking for peace while seemingly throwing shade.
One fan wrote, “If you’re going to ask people to leave someone alone, then don’t start bitching about them in the same paragraph.” Another countered, “Selena always hits the perfect balance between grace and shade she basically said, ‘I’m unbothered, but y’all need to grow up.’”
The singer concluded her note with a softer message: “Be kind. All brands inspire me.” This was widely seen as a reference to the constant comparisons between her Rare Beauty line and Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Beauty, which Bieber herself recently described as “annoying” in a WSJ. Magazine interview.
Despite both women previously posing together in 2022 to publicly squash feud rumors, the rivalry narrative has persisted, fueled by fan wars and media speculation. Gomez’s deleted post has only added to the intrigue, with some observers suggesting she was attempting to close the chapter while others believe it reignited the drama.
What’s clear is that the Selena-Hailey discourse remains a lightning rod online, where every word, post, and deleted story is dissected for hidden meaning. Whether Gomez’s message was a genuine call for peace or a carefully veiled clapback, it has once again reminded fans how deeply invested the public remains in their intertwined narratives.
