- Hailey Bieber faces backlash for liking Selena's engagement post.
- Fans criticize Hailey's gesture, accusing her of seeking attention.
- Hailey previously spoke about bringing people together, not division.
Hailey Bieber has recently come under fire from Selena Gomez's fans after reacting to the engagement news of Selena and Benny Blanco.
On December 12, Selena announced her engagement with Benny Blanco on Instagram, showcasing her diamond ring. Hailey, who is married to Selena’s former boyfriend, Justin Bieber, was one of the first to "like" the post, a gesture that didn’t sit well with some of Selena’s supporters.
One fan commented, “Don’t congratulate her in new single, new movie, net worth, makeup release but engagement yes lol.” Another remarked, “Hailey is just happy she won’t be taking Justin away.” Other users expressed similar sentiments, with one adding, “This is Hailey’s dream come true! She didn’t waste one second.”
The gesture sparked backlash, with some fans accusing Hailey of drawing attention to herself. This follows years of rumored tension between Hailey and Selena, who dated Justin Bieber from 2010 to 2018.
However, in 2023, both Selena and Hailey took to Instagram to address the rumors, with Hailey stating, “I don’t think that this is about me, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez,” and adding, “I want to be able to bring people together.” Hailey emphasized the importance of unity, saying, "It doesn't have to be about this divisive nature."
