While the animosity between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez dates back to around 2018, it has only intensified over the years. But these last few days have been particularly significant since the singer had to deactivate her TikTok account and cut herself off from social networks. ” I’m going to take a break from social media, because it’s kinda silly. And I’m 30, I’m too old for that, so… But I really like you guys! And I’ll see you sooner or later. I’m just gonna take a break from it all “says the 30-year-old young woman during a live on TikTok before deactivating her account a few hours after posting it.

But why this pause? From what we can see and read on the Web, all this follows a series of stories published by Kylie Jenner, the very close friend of Hailey Bieber. Some Selena Gomez fans accuse Kylie and Hailey of having made fun of this premiere. However, Kylie wanted to make things clear by explaining that her video had nothing to do with Justin Bieber’s ex. To which Selena Gomez replied: “ All this is not necessary, I am a fan of Kylie ».

The hashtag Team Selena goes viral on TikTok

While the hashtag #teamselena exceeds 133 million views to date, there are countless videos that count several million views also on the subject “Selena VS Hailey” or “Selena VS Kylie Jenner”. On TikTok, the videos are multiplying. You can see young girls explaining to their girlfriends or their boyfriend the whole hidden story between the model and the singer, before making them click on the “subscribe” button on Selena Gomez’s Instagram account. That’s why, not only did the latter become the most followed woman on Instagram after dethroning the founder of Kylie Cosmetics, but she also took more than 7 million subscribers in 4 days, going from 381 million to 388. million subscribers.
