Washington [US], March 11 (HBTV): After a social media user allegedly blamed Hailey Bieber for liking a video aimed at Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, Bieber's representative has denied the claim.

‘This never happened,’ Hailey's representative said in a statement, as reported by E! News. ‘This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative.’

For years, Hailey and Gomez have been pitted against each other over their relationship with Justin Bieber, who dated Selena before marrying Hailey. Fans have frequently analyzed their social media activity, examining everything from cryptic posts to perceived signs of support — such as Hailey liking a post about Selena's engagement to Benny.

In 2023, Hailey was accused of targeting Selena on TikTok and later received death threats. This prompted Selena to defend Hailey, stating that ‘no one should have to experience hate or bullying,’ E! News reported.

Ultimately, Hailey believes the negativity extends beyond just the two of them.

‘I don't think this is about me, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez,’ she said in June 2023. ‘This is not about this pitting between women and division between two women. It's about the vile, disgusting hatred that can come from completely made-up and twisted and perpetuated narratives that can be really dangerous.’

In an effort to end the rumours and demonstrate unity, Hailey and Selena posed together at the 2022 Academy Museum Gala. Hailey has expressed hope that they can put an end to online divisiveness, E! News reported. (ANI)
