Hailey Bieber is taking a stand against online trolling and misinformation following a series of damaging narratives aimed at her character. Recently, the 28-year-old model has found herself at the center of renewed drama involving her husband, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez, prompting her to consider taking legal action.
According to reports from TMZ, Hailey is exploring legal avenues to combat allegations that portray her as both a bully and a manipulator. This comes in light of a viral TikTok video claiming she liked a mockingly negative post about Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco. Additionally, a seven-part YouTube series has stirred controversy by alleging that Hailey had stalked Justin before their marriage and leveraged her connections to be with him.
Sources close to Hailey reveal that she is increasingly frustrated with the hateful narratives circulated about her. She is reportedly “sick and tired of the hateful narratives,” feeling that the misinformation has become too harmful to ignore. Insiders have noted that since becoming a parent to her son, Jack Blues, born in August 2024, Hailey's willingness to stay silent has diminished.
Legal counsel may come in the form of attorney Lisa Moore, known for successfully representing Cardi B in her defamation suit against a blogger. Hailey seeks to explore all potential legal options to challenge those who have spread what she deems as fabrications about her character and personal life.
This situation escalated recently when TikTok user Courtney Presto alleged that Hailey reacted positively to a video that derided Selena and Benny's interactions in a photoshoot. The statement, however, was flatly denied by Hailey’s representatives, who stated, “This never happened. This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative.”
Compounding the turmoil in her public life, amidst all this, Justin Bieber made a poignant Instagram post on March 16, 2025, reflecting on the impact of hate. His post stated, “I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I WAS A KID NOT TO HATE... HOW COULDN'T WE FEEL HATE FROM ALL OF THE HURT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED?.” The emotional plea has drawn attention to the hurtful narratives that swarm around both him and Hailey.
Hailey’s relationship with Justin, which began when he proposed to her shortly after he finalized his years-long on-and-off relationship with Selena in early 2018, has always faced scrutiny. Critics have often pitted the two women against one another, exacerbating tensions and resentment within their fanbases.
In light of a growing narrative that seems to pit her against Selena continuously, Hailey expressed gratitude for Selena’s empathy during this latest cycle of hatred. Gomez publicly revealed that she had reached out to Hailey after learning about the online attacks, issuing a strong statement against bullying on her Instagram stories.
“This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying,” Selena noted, advocating for kindness and putting an end to the online trolling. Speaking out further on the issue, she said, “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity.”
In their shared desire for peace, Hailey thanked Selena for her supportive words, emphasizing how harmful such online narratives can be. “The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved, and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful.”
In the face of relentless negativity, Hailey’s commitment to family appears to shape her new approach. She acknowledges the pressure such public mockery brings to her, stating, “While social media is an incredible way to connect and build community, moments like this only create extreme division instead of bringing people together.”
The narrative surrounding Hailey has not just been recent; it has roots that go back several years, often resurfacing to haunt her. From her early days as a fan of Justin’s music to their marriage, the constant comparisons to his ex-girlfriend Selena have troubled her profoundly. In this modern era of social media dynamics, where narratives can be distorted or entirely fabricated, Hailey seems poised to take a more assertive stance to safeguard her mental health and familial well-being.
To this end, many are watching closely as she aims to clarify the narrative once and for all. With a long-standing relationship between Justin and Selena that involved emotional turmoil and public breakups, it seems like this chapter for Hailey, and their family is only beginning to take form. The prospect of legal action points to a shift not only in how she views the ongoing scrutiny but also in how public figures may address misinformation in the age of social media.
In a world where a single post can spiral into an avalanche of speculation, Hailey’s journey continues to evolve. She aims to reclaim her narrative and protect herself against unmerited negativity. Whether through legal channels or public dialogue, what remains clear is that there’s a real human cost to the tales woven in the virtual world.
