Selena Gomez gave a fitting response to Hailey Bieber’s apparent dig on a now-deleted Instagram on Saturday.
Rhode founder Hailey, 28, was asked about her beauty brand being compared to Selena’s Rare Beauty by Sephora shoppers.
Speak with WJ. Magazine this week, Hailey said she “doesn’t feel competitive with people she isn’t inspired by” and called the constant comparisons “annoying.”
The newlywed Selena, 33, has since hit back at Hailey’s comments, saying: “She can say whatever she wants, it doesn’t affect my life,” before urging fans to “leave the girl alone.”
The full message read: “She can say whatever she wants. Doesn’t affect my life in any way. It’s just about relevance, not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop.”
There is a long and complex history between the two. Hailey is married to singer Justin Bieber, with whom she shares son Jack, but Justin previously dated Selena from 2010 to 2018.
In 2009, Justin and Selena met for the first time when they were introduced by their managers. The following year, the pair sparked romance rumors after being spotted on a date.
Both Selena and Hailey have publicly denied there was a feud, but fans continue to speculate that tensions still exist, often due to their shared history with Justin.
