Recently, social media has been buzzing with suspicions that Selena Gomez “liked” a clip of Benny Blanco teasing his ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt. specifically, the content of this clip is that Benny Blanco exchanges copper for gold, implying that Elsie Hewitt is copper and Selena Gomez is gold. The poster provides evidence in the form of screenshots and screen recordings proving that Selena Gomez’s TikTok account liked this content.

This quickly caused a stir on social media. Many people criticized Selena Gomez for being a mean person, first causing trouble with Justin Bieber’s wife, and now indirectly “teasing” her husband Benny Blanco’s ex-lover. They said that Selena Gomez’s actions always go against the kind values ​​that she has.

However, many fans spoke up to defend Selena Gomez, claiming that these are fake images and clips to defame her. They pointed out that the star born in 1992 has not used TikTok personally since the beginning of 2025, now only posting promotional posts scheduled by the team. The screenshot is also said to be edited because there is an unusual space between the name and the blue tick.

Fans believe that this is a smear campaign orchestrated by the Bieber couple’s fan community. They point out that the screenshots were circulated in the fan community’s own pages before going viral on social media. The controversy is still raging across social media.

Just on October 18, Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber had another “issue”. The drama started from Justin Bieber’s wife’s interview with WSJ Magazine. When asked about competition in the beauty cosmetics business, Hailey Bieber affirmed that she does not see anyone as a competitor. Hailey shared that she believes everyone has their own path and their own place. However, this interview of Hailey was maliciously cut out by someone with misleading content, suspected of mocking Selena Gomez: “I don’t feel like I need to compete with people who don’t inspire me” . Hailey Bieber is the founder of the cosmetics brand Rhode, while Selena Gomez is running Rare Beauty.

In response to the suspicion of “touching” Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber’s side immediately denied it. The representative said she did not mention or share anything directly related to Selena Gomez in the interview with WSJ Magazine. It was thought that everything was over after Hailey Bieber’s correction, but Selena Gomez suddenly appeared and “posted” extremely harshly, allegedly cursing Hailey directly. “Ignore her. She can say whatever she wants, it doesn’t affect my life. All brands inspire me. Everyone has their own place. Please live kindly. I hope we can stop this,” Selena Gomez wrote on her story.

Selena Gomez’s move caused a stir. On social media, viewers were confused by the Disney princess’s actions and said they were on Hailey’s side this time. Justin Bieber’s wife did not mention the 1992-born singer, but Selena went online to criticize Hailey as if it was her fault. Many netizens wondered if Selena was listening to gossip on the 2G network or something, so she updated information slowly and let false rumors lead her. Others suspected that Selena was “taking advantage of the situation” to criticize Hailey, while at the same time drawing attention to herself and her cosmetics brand.

Not long after, Selena Gomez deleted the story that hinted at Hailey on social media. This caused many people to criticize the singer for being fake, playing the victim, and making others look evil and mean. Currently, Hailey Bieber has not responded to Selena Gomez’s actions.

The drama between Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and Hailey Bieber is one of Hollywood’s longest-running “love triangles,” stemming from Selena and Justin’s tumultuous on-off relationship from 2010 to 2018. After their split, Justin Bieber quickly dated and married Hailey Baldwin in 2018, leading to countless rumors of rivalry, jealousy, and “social media wars” between Selena and Hailey.

Fans of both sides often “add fuel to the fire” by comparing their looks, careers, and personal lives. Despite repeated denials by all three, drama still flares up periodically, especially on Instagram and TikTok. In 2025, the situation is still hot with new events related to rumored divorces, controversial posts, and unfollows.

However, many people criticized the fact that many haters, Jelena’s crazy fans and netizens commented too rudely and without limits. They called for closure of the past, to put aside the hatred because now, both Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are happy with new people.
