In October, Selena Gomez released two new songs, both of which were very obviously about her tortured on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber. Selena even confirmed as much without saying Justin?s name in interviews, and she said that she hopes her ex listens to the music because it?s about him. A lot of Selena?s fans were like ?she has every right to tell her side of things? and while I agree with that, I also think it?s somewhat inappropriate to still devote so much time, energy and music to an ex-boyfriend who truly moved on and married someone else. Justin married Hailey Baldwin last year and Hailey also appeared to have some thoughts about Selenassongs about Justin, although Hailey denied she was being shady. The point, I suppose, is that Selena is unsubtly subtweeting Justin and then Hailey is unsubtly subtweeting Selena. Toddler drama, basically. But Hailey thinks everything is just about toxic online fandoms. To be fair, toxic online fandoms are like 70% of this?
Hailey Bieber has spoken out to minimise the rumours ?fake drama? between her and Selena Gomez, after years of the women being pitted against each other. Speaking about their rumoured feud this week, the 22-year-old told British Vogue: ?I think social media is a breeding ground for toxicity and people creating false drama between women and trying to put women up against each other and create these narratives that are justtoxic. I think that has to change and that has to stop.?
The newlywed ? who married the ?Sorry? singer in September ? continued, without mentioning Gomez specifically, adding: ?I think there needs to be more people with platforms coming together and saying to each other. Lets kill the conversation, lets kill the fake drama, lets squash all these things, lets move on from stuff. Lets not give people a reason to fuel fire and create drama and being rude to each other.?

On the face of it, nothing Hailey says is wrong the fandoms are toxic and the tabloid media loves pitting Selena and Hailey against each other and creating all of this ?drama.? The reality is that everyone involved loves the drama too. Selena is really making music about a guy who treated her badly and moved on and married someone else. Hailey is one of those people who posts-and-deletes shady sh-t on social media and then plays innocent. How can the fandoms let go of the drama if everyone involved thrives on the drama?
Also: at some point, we just have to worry about Justin Bieber. He?s supposed to be taking time off to work on himself and his mental health. He?s lost an alarming amount of weight and? wow, he just looks unhealthy.
