Selena Gomez addressed the backlash, in an Instagram live video, against Hailey Baldwin following the release of her new song “Lose You to Love Me,” a song fans are speculating was written about her breakup with Justin Bieber.
Her lyrics aren't exactly giving us the impression that the song could be about anybody else.
They met in 2009, started officially dating in 2010, and broke up and got back together repeatedly for the following eight years.
So, in April 2018 when they called it quits for the 1 billionth time and Justin started dating Hailey Baldwin two months later, then got engaged to her three months later, fans were shook.
And by every indication of her latest song, it looks like her breakup from Justin was anything but easy.
In 2015, on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Justin admitted that "Purpose" was inspired by Selena, and three of the songs on the album are about her.
Fans think this line is definitely about Justin, since he started dating his now-wife, Hailey Baldwin, two months after his final split from Selena.
Fans thought that this was Hailey trying to send a message of some kind to Selena using the lyrics of this song, so they quickly jumped to her defense.
But everybody knows that once you put something on the internet, it's never really gone...
"Please stop with this nonsense," she wrote. "There is no 'response'. This is complete BS".
She recorded an Instagram live stream, thanking everyone for the overwhelming support of her new song, and took the time to briefly remind her fans to be kind to others.
"I'm so grateful. However, I do not stand for women tearing other women down."
AKA, she is asking her fans to leave Hailey tf alone.
"So, please be kind to everyone — it doesn't matter what the situation is."
There's no telling if Selena reached out to Hailey directly or not, but either way, I totally support this.
"Don't go off and say things that you just feel in the moment — just, please. For me."
