Hailey Bieber addressed questions about Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty products sold alongside her Rhode brand at Sephora. “I think there’s room for everybody,” she told reporters, sparking speculation of a subtle jab. Hailey, married to Justin Bieber since 2018, clarified through representatives to PageSix that her comments weren’t aimed at Gomez.
During a recent interview, Hailey was asked about Selena Gomez’s beauty line, Rare Beauty, being sold alongside her own brand, Rhode Skin, at Sephora. Her response was calm yet measured:
“I think there’s room for everybody,” she said.
However, in a follow-up discussion about competition in the beauty industry, Hailey added:
“I don’t feel competitive with people who don’t inspire me. It’s always annoying to be compared to others. I never asked for it.”
She continued, “When people create an image of you in their minds, it’s not your responsibility to change it.”
While Hailey’s representatives later clarified to PageSix that her comments were not directed at Selena Gomez, social media users quickly connected the dots — seeing the remarks as a subtle reference to her husband’s ex-girlfriend.
