‘THE BOY IS MINE’: Selena Gomez SHADES Hailey Bieber after noticing singer mouth surprising lyric – WHEW | HO

For some time, fans have created a long-standing feud between Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, and Hailey Baldwin Bieber, Justin’s current wife.

The history between the two stars appears to be complicated. Part of the public-fueled drama first occurred when fans thought that Hailey and BFF Kylie Jenner were mocking Selena’s laminated eyebrows in an Instagram Story post back in February 2023.

Now, people think Hailey made a shady post towards Selena when she posted about Beyonce’s cover of the song Jolene – originally sung by Dolly Parton – and a part of Beyonce’s new album Cowboy Carter.

Jolene is a song about a woman begging another woman to not “take her man” despite knowing that she absoloutely has the ability to. “Please don’t take him even though you can,” the lyrics plead.

Hailey’s post, which showed her support for the Jolene song, immediately got fans speculating that she was sending a subliminal message to Selena.

Along with a Spotify image of her listening to Jolene, Hailey captioned her photo: “Whew [angry face emoji].”

Selena’s post, which people think was a direct response to Hailey, was an Instagram story in which Selena is said to have silently mouthed the lyrics “The boy is mine.”

Fans, tuned into the apparent drama, flooded social media with opinions.

Per The U.S. Sun, a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, read: “Fans seem to think Selena Gomez is responding to Hailey Bieber posting Beyonce’s rendition of ‘Jolene.'”

Selena Gomez apologized for sharing a skincare TikTok. Why? Some fans thought it was mocking Hailey Bieber.

On Wednesday (May 11), the Only Murders in the Building actress posted a TikTok video of her nighttime skincare routine with Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” playing in the background. Harmless enough, right?

Though Gomez has her own cosmetics line — Rare Beauty — and frequently shows self-care and beauty videos, some fans believed that the TikTok was a subtle dig at Hailey, who is married to Gomez’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber.

Prior to Selena’s post, Hailey posted a similar “get ready with me” video where she showed off her skincare, makeup and hair routine, as she is launching her own skincare line called Rhode.

Despite Selena being silent in her video and showing how she uses serums and wipes, completely different products than what was featured in Hailey’s clip, some people believed her video was an attempt to be shady.

“Lol I know who she’s referring to,” one commenter wrote on Selena’s video, while another added, “Wait… is she trynna make fun of you know who?”

Before long, Selena turned off the comments for her video and addressed the accusations.

“This is why I believe in taking care of your mental health,” Selena wrote in response to the comments. “Guys, no idea what I did but I really am sorry. Zero bad intention. Deleting soon.”

This isn’t the first time that people have pitted the two women against each other on TikTok.

After Hailey posted a video of her lip-syncing to her husband’s 2009 hit “One Time,” some followers in the comments section noted how he wrote the song about Selena.

Hailey responded to the trolls in a video captioned: “This is for you guys in my comments every single time I post.”

“Leave me alone at this point,” Hailey said. “I’m minding my business. I don’t do anything, I don’t say anything. Leave me alone, please.”
