Hailey Bieber Accused of Being a ‘Creepy Stalker’ Due to Recent Selena Gomez Comparison

The controversy resurfaced when Hailey Bieber received the Beauty Innovator Award at the Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Awards last week and delivered her acceptance speech.

While addressing the audience, the creator of Rhode Skin stated, “When I launched Rhode, I didn’t want it to be just a brand. I really aimed to build an entire universe.”

Sounds familiar? That’s because fans quickly dug up a 2021 interview where Selena said something almost identical. “I didn’t want to launch a makeup line for the sake to launch a brand,” she said at the time. “What interests me is cultivating beauty from the inside.”

The “Only Murders in the Building” star continued, “The idea was to tell those who would buy Rare Beauty products: you are beautiful, you are special and here is a place where you can try different things on your lashes, lips, and eyelids… with a big range of colors.”

A side-by-side comparison of the two speeches posted to TikTok lit up the comments section, and Selenators were not having it. One user even called Hailey a “creepy stalker copycat.”

“She copies everything,” another user declared.

“Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern,” someone else posted.

“Does Hailey have a personality of her own?” a fourth asked.

“Oops she did it again..” another wrote.

And the claws came out with this one. “At this point she does it on purpose cause without Selena’s name, her and her husband would be forgotten. He been flopping ever since he got married.”

The internet has long pitted Hailey and Selena against each other due to their ties to pop star Justin Bieber. Selena dated him on and off for nearly eight years before their final split in 2018. Hailey and Justin secretly tied the knot later that same year.

Since then, every move Hailey makes is put under a microscope by Gomez’s loyal fans.

In 2023, she was slammed for seemingly throwing shade in a TikTok video with Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye, mouthing the now-infamous line, “I’m not saying she deserved it, but God’s timing is always right,” which many believed was aimed at Selena during a wave of body-shaming backlash.

That same year, fans accused Hailey of copying Selena’s behind-the-ear cursive “G” tattoo.

Hailey tried to shut the rumors down during her 2022 Call Her Daddy interview, insisting it was “all love” between her and Selena,  but the internet isn’t buying it.

Still, not everyone thinks the speech similarity is that deep.

“I feel like everyone says this about their own business tho??” one fan defended.

“And MANY other celebrities use this line,” someone else expressed.

“It’s almost as if… they’re both given speeches/told what to say by their PR team…” said another.
