Selena’s note raises eyebrows
Although the post was removed shortly after being shared, screenshots and reactions quickly circulated online, sparking conversations about a diss in the note. “If you’re going to ask people to leave someone alone, then don’t start bitching about them in the same paragraph,” a fan commented.Another said, “Selena always hits the perfect balance between grace and shade she basically said, “I’m unbothered, but y’all need to grow up.””This is the “take the high road but still clap back with elegance” energy,” said another. The singer and actress ended her note saying, “Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop.”
Selena and Hailey’s beef
Selena’s post reportedly came in response to fans accusing Hailey of shading her Rare Beauty brand in a recent WSJ interview, where she discussed beauty industry inspirations. She also expressed her frustration with “being pitted against other people. I didn’t ask for that,” she said. The two had seemingly made peace and put up a united front back in 2022. However, despite efforts to bridge the gap, the two have often found themselves at loggerheads with each other.
