The Backstory
Gomez and Hailey entered Bieber's life in 2009 and found themselves intertwined in lengthy, complex relationships with the pop sensation. Gomez and Bieber's romance began to spark rumors in December 2010, and throughout this time, Hailey, formerly known as Hailey Baldwin, often voiced her support for the couple.

She tweeted her approval of their relationship and even referred to it as a "teenage dream." But like any rollercoaster romance, the road was far from smooth. In November 2012, Gomez and Bieber went through their first breakup. Despite the split, the couple's connection proved unbreakable, and they found themselves back together in April 2013, only to part ways again shortly afterward.

As the years passed, their relationship continued to evolve, marked by numerous breakups and makeups. In July 2018, Bieber and Hailey rekindled their romance, and their whirlwind engagement and subsequent marriage dominated headlines.
Gomez, on the other hand, chose to focus on her career and released the song "Lose You to Love Me" in October 2019, which many believed to be a response to Bieber's marriage to Hailey.

This led to further speculation and social media drama. Throughout these tumultuous years, Hailey found herself in the crosshairs of fan backlash on several occasions, especially when her actions coincided with Gomez's career moves. While some incidents were nothing more than coincidence, they fueled the flames of the ongoing drama.

There were also rumors suggesting that Hailey had been romantically involved with Bieber while he was still with Gomez, adding a layer of complexity to an already tangled situation. Hailey has consistently denied any such involvement, emphasizing that she was not with Bieber during that period.
In September 2022, during an interview on "Call Her Daddy," Hailey publicly stated that there's no animosity between her and Gomez, emphasizing that it's "all love." This declaration seemed to put feud rumors to rest, and in October 2022, both women further solidified this newfound camaraderie by posing for pictures together.

The Eyebrows Drama
Fast forward to January 2023, and the drama between Hailey and Gomez ignited once more, this time centered around a TikTok post. Hailey shared a video of herself and friends lip-syncing to a particular soundbite that carried the words, "And I'm not saying she deserved it, but God's timing is always right."
Fans immediately speculated that this cryptic message was aimed at Gomez, who had been body-shamed over her vacation photos. Hailey swiftly addressed the speculation, clarifying that the TikTok was nothing more than a lighthearted, spontaneous moment with friends and not directed at anyone in particular.
Gomez responded to the situation with a message of positivity, emphasizing the importance of being kind to one another. The drama then took an unexpected turn when the eyebrow debate took center stage. Gomez playfully shared on TikTok that she had over-laminated her eyebrows, leading fans to scrutinize every eyebrow-related detail.
Kylie Jenner, a prominent figure in the drama due to her connections with both parties, posted eyebrow-related content on social media, further fueling speculation. Jenner intervened to clarify that the situation was being blown out of proportion, asserting that no shade was being thrown toward Gomez.
She even expressed her support for Gomez, demonstrating that amidst the drama, a sense of understanding could prevail. Despite these efforts to defuse tensions, the drama continued to spiral, with fans scrutinizing every social media interaction. Gomez's comments on an old video of Hailey seemingly reacting negatively to Taylor Swift's name stirred the pot once more.
Gomez defended her best friend, highlighting Swift's exceptional talent and attempting to shift the focus away from negativity. The drama continued to escalate, prompting Gomez to take a break from social media, citing her happiness, blessings, and the realization that she had outgrown the drama. She left her followers with a message of love and promised a return when the storm had passed.
A Call for Kindness
Even during her social media hiatus, Gomez continued to express her gratitude for the support she received, responding to fans who called out Hailey for alleged bullying. The sentiment was clear: kindness and empathy were paramount in her worldview.
While fans speculated about the meaning behind party favors at Bieber's birthday celebration, Gomez chose to focus on her own well-being and growth. Pattie Mallette, Bieber's mother, added her voice to the mix with cryptic tweets, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga.
Fans anxiously monitored her social media activity, trying to decipher any hidden messages. Throughout this turbulent period, Hailey continued to demonstrate resilience, maintaining her composure in the face of relentless scrutiny.
