Hailey Bieber thanks Selena Gomez for supportive message amid one-sided 'feud' rumours and 'death threats'

Selena Gomez is once again asking people to be kinder to Hailey Bieber.

The singer and actress posted a note to her Instagram Story overnight, writing: "Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity."

"This isn't what I stand for," Gomez, 30, wrote. "No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I've always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop."

Bieber, for her part, shared a note of her own to her Instagram Story hours after Gomez's plea went live.

"I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I," Bieber, 26, wrote this morning.

"The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful. While social media is an incredible way to connect and build community, moments like this only create extreme division instead of bringing people together."

"Things can be taken out of context or construed differently than they were intended. We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself," she continued.

"In the end I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity and there is always an opportunity to meet each other with more empathy or compassion," Bieber concluded.

All of this comes a month after social media was buzzing with speculation that Bieber and her friend Kylie Jenner were making reference to Gomez in a series of social media posts.

Hailey Bieber is married to Gomez's ex boyfriend, singer Justin Bieber, and their fan bases are often pitted against each other. Justin Bieber so far has remained silent about the vitriol his wife is facing.

Last September, Hailey Bieber spoke out on the Call Her Daddy podcast about hate she's received from some Gomez fans since she and her husband first got engaged.

Gomez later said on TikTok: "It's not fair because no one should ever be spoken to in the manner that I've seen."

A few weeks later the two women posed together at the annual Academy Museum Gala held in Los Angeles.
