Why Hailey Bieber Is Getting Canceled Right Now – The Selena Gomez & Kylie Jenner Drama Explained

Hailey Bieber is currently at the center of major internet drama, and if you’ve been on TikTok lately, you definitely know what’s going on. But how did things escalate to the point where millions of people are canceling her?

Is Hailey actually a mean girl, or is the internet just running with another conspiracy theory? Let’s break it all down.

The Backstory: A Never-Ending Love Triangle

To understand the current drama, we need to rewind a bit.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were once the ultimate celebrity couple. Their on-and-off relationship lasted for years, and even after they officially broke up, fans never really moved on.

Then, in a shocking turn of events, Justin suddenly married Hailey Baldwin in September 2018—just months after he was last seen with Selena. There were even rumors that Justin had proposed to Selena before Hailey, and she had turned him down.

The timing was suspicious, and fans quickly started forming their own theories. When Selena suffered an emotional breakdown and was hospitalized shortly after the wedding, and when Justin was seen crying in public multiple times, the internet decided:
👉 Justin still loves Selena, and Hailey “stole” him when he was vulnerable.

For years, this theory has fueled online hate against Hailey. And now, in 2023, it’s all boiling over again.

Act 1: Hailey Bieber’s “Shady” TikTok

It all started with some paparazzi photos of Selena Gomez, showing that she had gained some weight. While this should’ve been no big deal, the media, as always, had a field day.

Just a few days later, Hailey Bieber posted a TikTok using a viral audio clip that said:
👉 “I’m not saying she deserved it, but God’s timing is always right.”

The video was quickly deleted, but not before fans took screenshots and screen recordings. The internet immediately connected the dots:
📌 Hailey’s video was posted right after the media was talking about Selena’s body.
📌 Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye—both known for throwing shade at Selena in the past—were in the video with her.

The conclusion? Hailey was mocking Selena.

Hailey tried to deny it, commenting that it was just a random TikTok, but by then, the damage was already done. Fans were convinced that Hailey and her friends were nothing but Hollywood’s mean girls.

Act 2: The Eyebrow Scandal That Broke the Internet

On February 21, 2023, Selena Gomez posted a lighthearted TikTok where she joked about over-laminating her eyebrows.

Just three hours later, Kylie Jenner—Hailey’s close friend—posted an Instagram story zooming in on her eyebrows with the caption:
👉 “This was an accident?” (followed by five sarcastic question marks).

And if that wasn’t enough, a few slides later, Kylie posted a FaceTime screenshot of her and Hailey Bieber showing off their eyebrows together.

At this point, TikTok lost its mind.

The internet immediately saw this as proof that Kylie and Hailey were mocking Selena. The hashtag #MeanGirlsHollywood started trending, and within days:

Kylie lost over 1 million Instagram followers.
Selena gained millions and officially became the most-followed woman on Instagram.

Kylie tried to do damage control, commenting that it was all just a coincidence, but by then, it was too late. The internet had made its decision: Kylie and Hailey were bullies.

Act 3: The Internet Digs Up Hailey’s Past

After the eyebrow scandal, TikTok did what it does best: digging up old receipts.

🔹 Stalking Allegations: People resurfaced old tweets showing that Hailey was a huge Justin Bieber fan long before they got together. Screenshots revealed that she used to message fan accounts to find out where Justin and Selena were staying—so she could “coincidentally” show up.

🔹 Copycat Allegations: The internet started putting together clips proving that Hailey had copied Selena multiple times over the years:

Selena posted a black-and-white music video—Hailey did the exact same thing.
Selena started a cooking show—Hailey started the exact same show right after.
Selena’s beauty brand launched a specific campaign—Hailey’s brand did the exact same thing weeks later.

🔹 The Dubai Incident: Fans also uncovered a story from 2014-2015 where Kendall Jenner allegedly took Selena on a New Year’s trip to Dubai just so Hailey could spend time with Justin alone in the U.S.

The more TikTok investigated, the worse things looked for Hailey.

The Aftermath: Hailey Bieber Is Losing Fans FAST

The drama has officially reached a boiling point. Since all of this started:
✅ Selena Gomez has gained millions of new followers and support online.
❌ Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner are losing followers and being called out as “mean girls.”
🔥 TikTok is filled with edits exposing Hailey, Justin, and Kylie.

So, where do things go from here?

Right now, Hailey is staying silent, but fans are waiting to see if she’ll address the controversy. Meanwhile, Selena announced that she’s taking a break from social media, saying:
👉 “I love who I am, and yes, I’m taking a break from social media. I’m too old for this. But I love you all so much, and I’ll see you sooner than later.”

For now, it looks like the internet has picked its side—and it’s not Hailey’s.

Final Thoughts: Is Hailey Bieber Really a Mean Girl?

At the end of the day, we have two possible scenarios:
🔹 Scenario 1: Hailey is actually obsessed with Selena and has been shading her for years.
🔹 Scenario 2: The internet is blowing things out of proportion, and people are looking for any excuse to hate Hailey.

The truth? Probably somewhere in the middle.

But one thing is clear—the internet has turned against Hailey Bieber, and the cancellation is very real.
