Selena, in the clips captured and shared online, did not explicitly address Hailey’s interview. However, this is the first time Selena has broken her silence since the interview was released, adding extra weight to the message.
Selena said at the end of her concert: “I think some of the things that I don’t even need to be aware of are vile and disgusting. And it’s not fair because you should never talk to anyone in the way that I’ve seen and all I have to say is that it’s incredibly ironic that I would release something that’s all about kind words. [her makeup line Rare Beauty’s Kind Words Matte lipstick and lip liners, which Gomez did a press tour of Europe to promote] because that’s exactly what I want. That is all. If you support Rare, I can’t thank you enough, but know that you are also standing for what it stands for and that words matter. Really matters. So it’s coming from me, and I just want all of you to know that I hope you understand that this is so much bigger than anything else. I am so thankful to all of you for listening so have a wonderful rest of your day and I appreciate all the love. Thank you.”
in the viral call her daddy In the interview, Hailey opened up about her relationship with Gomez now and suggested that Gomez never publicly defended her from the hate Justin and Selena fans had towards Hailey. Gomez actually went on Instagram Live and He asked his fans not to attack anyone when Hailey was harassed in October 2019 and has faced harassment from Hailey fans also.
Hailey was nervous about talking about the situation, but decided to do it anyway to set the record straight for good.
On her background, Hailey denied any overlap. She and Justin got back together in June 2018, months after Justin and Selena, who dated on and off for 10 years, took a break and split in March 2018.
Hailey was also on and off with Justin. “She had been involved with him since she was 18 years old,” she said. “The timeline as well where sometimes it’s about us meeting and then getting engaged and him spending time with his ex before that, this is crazy. I have literally never talked about this ever. I understand, again, how it looks from the outside. There is a lot of perception there. But that was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door. They weren’t in a relationship at the time, but there’s a very long story there, and it’s not my relationship. It has nothing to do with me, so I respect him a lot, but I know he closed a chapter, and I think it was the best thing that could have happened to him to move on, get engaged, get married, and move on. carry on with his life that way.
“And it’s hard for me to talk about this because I don’t want to speak for either of them, again, because it was their relationship, and I honestly respect that deeply. But I just know what was going on when we got back together, and I know what it took to get that back together in a healthy way. And I think it was the most healthy and mature decision that he could have made, and I respect that.
“As a woman, I would never want to get into a relationship with someone and commit to them and marry them and think in the back of my mind, I wonder if that really was like, closed to you. And I know for a fact that the reason we were able to get back together was because it was completely shut down. And that’s respectful to me.”
As for her relationship with Selena, Hailey revealed that the two had spoken one-on-one in private. “Yes, [we have spoken]. Yes [we have spoken after my marriage],” she said. “So that’s why I’m like, it’s all respect, it’s all love. It’s also why I feel like if everyone on our side knows what happened, and we’re okay and we can go with clarity and respect , so that’s fine. Which brought me a lot of peace, and I said, ‘hey, we know what happened.’ It is what it is.’ You can never correct all the narratives, and there will be new ones to come [from this interview]. It’s never going to end, and that’s why I got to the point where, that’s why I didn’t talk much about these things because I think, there will be something new. ”
