For several weeks now, there has been an ongoing back and forth between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber's fans such that the celebrities themselves have had to intervene at some point. Bieber first came under fire after one of her TikTok clips resurfaced. In the video, she appeared to be mocking a Gomez swimsuit moment.

The Moment That Fueled The Online Drama

Hailey made a video with her pals, Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye where they lip-synched the words, "I'm not saying she deserves it, but God's timing is always right." Although the clip was deleted, fans had it saved, and immediately connected it to Gomez.

With the rising issue of her deleted video, Hailey took to social media to debunk the rumors. She explained that she and her friends only did a random TikTok for fun, and it was not directed at anyone. Gomez in a bid to placate her fan also asked everyone to be nice.

It Was Far From Over

The drama seemed to simmer until Gomez took to her media page sharing a photo of herself, and letting fans know she accidentally over-laminated her brows. A few hours after that, Kylie Jenne posted a photo of herself rocking her brows, with the words, "This was an accident???" Kylie also posted a photo of herself and Hailey showing off her brows on her Instagram stories.

Social Media Loses And Gains

Within hours, Gomez's fans known as the Selenators came down heavily on Kylie, and in a few days, she lost millions of followers. This also dethroned her from being the most followed person on Instagram. Hailey also lost followers. In retrospect, Selena became the most-followed woman on the same app.

More Media Drama
