Hailey Bieber has addressed rumors that she ‘liked’ a video mocking Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
A TikToker claimed Hailey dragged up her alleged spat with Selena by 'liking' a video about her and her fiancé.
The content creator posted a video with a collection of photographs of the couple from their Interview Magazine cover shoot and described them as 'the WORST'.

The clip went viral and has accumulated more than 2.2 million views at the time of writing.
But in a follow-up, the TikToker then accused Hailey 'herself' of liking the video with an alleged screenshot of the notification.
"I was being a little shady to Selena Gomez," the creator admitted.
"However, that means that the Selena Gomez [and] Justin Bieber beef is alive and well people."
They added: "I feel like this is definitive proof."
Now, Hailey's rep has spoken out about the alleged incident, telling US Weekly in a statement: "This never happened."
"This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative," it added.
The Bieber-Gomez alleged feud spans years as the two women have been pitted against each other for their romantic involvement with the 'Baby' hitmaker, Justin Bieber.
The 32-year-old former child star dated the Canadian singer on and off between 2009 and 2018.
Then the Rhode Skin founder, 28, began dating him after he separated from Selena - and married him that same year.
The couple have always denied any relationship overlap and Hailey also denies that she 'stole' the pop star from Selena.
Yet, amid their newlywed bliss, the Biebers were met with backlash from Selena's fans.
The women have made several attempts to put an end to the rumors of their 'spat', even posing together in pictures at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures' Gala in 2022 and addressing allegations in social media posts and press interviews.
In an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hailey stated it was 'all love' between her and Selena, though was later accused of poking fun at Selena's beauty tricks on social media, sparking fresh speculation of their apparent ongoing feud.
Then in 2023, Selena and Hailey appeared to put the rumors to bed once and for all as the Wizards of Waverly Place star defended Justin's wife on social media.
She said Hailey had received 'death threats and such hateful negativity'.
"I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop," Selena added.
Hailey then posted her thanks to Selena for 'speaking out' on the online hate.
"We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself," the model added. "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 and compassion."
The 'Love Yourself' singer proposed to Hailey in July 2018 and they tied the knot just two months later.
The Biebers welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, in August last year.
Meanwhile, Selena confirmed she was dating music producer Benny Blanco, 37, towards the end of 2023 before announcing their engagement on Instagram in December 2024.
Hailey appeared to show her support for the couple by 'liking' the Instagram post.
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez for comment.
