Selena’s latest post on Instagram featured herself out on a girl’s dinner date with her younger half-sister Gracie Teefey.

They held chopsticks in their hands and smiled for the camera.

“Sissy date night,” the singer captioned the post.

Fans began their speculation when they saw that Hailey had liked Selena’s post.

“This is embarrassing. She has main character syndrome. She needs to log off and leave Selena alone,” one person slammed.

“You don’t have to be friends. Let her live her life, Jesus. Why would you ever be following your husband’s ex?” another shared.

“But like imagine liking your husband’s ex’s post… couldn’t be me,” a user reacted.

“Selena has the patience of a saint,” a fan joked.

The fan speculation around the feud runs all the way back to when Selena dated Justin on and off from 2010 – 2018.

Hailey and Justin tied the knot in September 2018, which left many fans speculating about the narrow window.

Many fans wondered if Justin began to be involved with Hailey when he was still dating Selena.

Hailey clarified the situation on the podcast Call Her Daddy by explaining, “I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody — that’s the end of it.”

In October 2022, Hailey and Selena were pictured posing together at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ gala and fans assumed their feud was all water under the bridge.

In February 2023, Hailey and her BFF Kylie Jenner were accused of making fun of Selena’s eyebrows from a TikTok post.

Kylie and Selena made statements that there was no drama between them, but Hailey opted to remain silent until after the Disney actress cleared the air.

By March, Selena posted on her Instagram Story to speak on the drama.

“Hailey Bieber reached out to me to let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” she stated at the time.

“This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying.”

“I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop,” she concluded.

The actress then followed Hailey on Instagram, with the model returning the request.

RAGING ON

Hailey and Selena’s followers believe there has been more shade thrown on social media.

All this comes after Hailey re-shared a Spotify album photo of Beyonce’s new cover of Jolene, which was originally released by Dolly Parton in 1974.

The supermodel captioned her post, “Whew,” adding an angry-faced emoji.

Beyonce’s cover of Dolly’s famed tune ends with the lyrics, “Please, don’t take him just because you can.”

Soon after Hailey’s post, Selena made a post on Instagram where she was lip-synching lyrics.

The sound was turned off on the post, however, fans speculated Selena was mouthing, “The boy is mine.”

TROUBLE IN PARADISE

As Hailey and Selena may have sparked their feud again, the supermodel has reportedly been struggling with her marriage to Justin.

Hailey and Justin have been facing intense divorce speculation and the couple have been living apart.

A source revealed Hailey felt the need to spend time away from her husband.

An insider told In Touch Weekly, “Hailey’s struggling. She just needs time to sort things out on her own.”

The source added, “Hailey just wanted to live by herself for a while.”

Hailey reportedly feels Justin “feels hurt and confused, but she feels lost too.”

The insider concluded that Hailey “needs a break.”
