Selena Gomez hits back after Hailey Bieber implies she's not inspired by the singer

Selena Gomez seemed to take a dig at Hailey Bieber when she made a post on her Instagram stories. Probably referencing Hailey Bieber, Selena wrote on Saturday, "Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesn’t affect my life whatsoever. It’s just about relevance, not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me".

The Rare Beauty founder further added, "There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop".

Selena Gomez responds to Hailey Bieber's "annoying" comment

Selena Gomez's response follows Hailey Bieber's comments. Hailey, founder of skincare brand, Rhode, said during a recent interview that she was tired of the comparisons that people made between Rhode and Rare Beauty, adding that she finds it "annoying".

"It’s always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn’t ask for that. When people want to see you a certain way and they’ve made up a story about you in their minds, it’s not up to you to change that", Hailey said.

Hailey Bieber further added with a sense of frustration, "I think there is space for everybody. I don’t feel competitive with people that I’m not inspired by".

According to sources, Hailey Bieber was not really referencing to Selena Gomez when she made the comments but fans find it difficult to believe.

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber have long been in an undeclared feud. Selena was in a long term relationship with Justin Bieber who then ended up marrying Hailey. However, they have tried to let of the past and have made public appearances together. During the 2023 Academy Music Gala, Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber struck a pose together.

Selena Gomez recently got married to Benny Blanco on September 27, 2025.
