The drama between Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber (Hailey Baldwin) and Selena Gomez caused an Internet war between fans of each star. After Selena announced her social media hiatus, her fans quickly accused fans of Kylie and Hailey of bullying the singer.
Not happy with how things turned, Selenators put the blame and Kylie and Hailey’s fans. One of them wrote on Twitter, “Selena Gomez deleted her TikTok account, jail for everyone one of you who bullied her.”
Another fumed, “I hate that every time Selena is active on social media, her words are twisted and she gets bullied until she deactivates. That being said, social media can be extremely toxic and I’m glad she’s taking a break if that’s what she needs.”
“You bullied this innocent woman who’s trying to spread kindness,” someone else added.
On Thursday, February 23, Selena informed her followers that she will take a break from the platform and her other social media accounts for the time being. “I’m gonna be taking a second from social media cause this is a little silly and I’m 30. I’m too old for this,” the “Only Murders in the Building” star said to her fans.
Promising that it will not be permanent, the former Disney starlet continued, “But I love you so much and I’ll see you guys sooner than later.” She also hinted at needing a downtime as saying, “I’m just gonna take a break from everything.”
While Selena didn’t further explain her reason, it came in the wake of speculations that Kylie mocked Selena’s eyebrows on her Instagram Stories. “The Kardashians” star, however, shut down the claims as she wrote in a TikTok comment, “this is reaching. No shade towards Selena ever and i didn’t see her eyebrow posts! u guys are making something out of nothing. This is silly.”
Selena also reacted to the allegations. Echoing the Kylie Cosmetis founder’s statement, the Rare Beauty founder said, “Agreed @kyliejenner It’s all unnecessary. I’m a fan of Kylie!”
