Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber posed together at the Academy Museum Gala. Why? Because the savvy pair knew exactly what message the photo sends. The pair were all smiles and embraced warmly.

Fans have been picking sides and calling for a feud between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber due to their mutual romantic involvement with Justin Bieber. Selena dated Bieber on and off for ten years until they called it quits in 2018. Hailey married Justin later that year. As a result, fans of the three assumed the two women would hate one another. Turns out, the two were perfectly civil with each other at the Academy Museum Gala, and they made it apparent that they have no beef and much better things to do besides fighting over a man.

So, if it wasn’t clear already, Selena and Hailey have no beef and they’re telling the fans to cut their antics off with that picture.

Speculation on the supposed feud renewed interest when Bieber appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast last month. Hailey Baldwin always described herself as a person who doesn’t do interviews but dropped many bombshells in the podcast, speaking about her rumours about Justin in the wake of his romance with Selena Gomez. She also expressed challenges in her mental health due to living in the public eye and learning to cope with the frequent hate she receives daily from various audiences, including Selena fans. She even admitted that at one point she “didn’t want to be here anymore.”

Despite the admittedly negative experiences, she also expressed many positives in her life, such as an inside look into her love story with Justin. She even provided some details about her sex life with him. And, when asked about her “stealing Justin” from Selena, Hailey stated she was never with Justin when he was in a relationship with anybody. “When he and I ever started, like, hooking up or, like, anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship, ever at any point. It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship. I would just never do that.”

She did however admit that she thought Justin was a f**k boy.

Hailey also stated that she didn’t actually cry when fans chanted “Selena” when Hailey and Justin made their way on the red carpet during the 2021 Met Gala.
