Hailey Bieber’s determined to set the record straight. In her new Vogue cover story, which dropped yesterday, she directly addressed the relentless rumors surrounding her and Justin Bieber. (If you’re not deep in BieberTok, people are convinced they’re getting divorced, and some also believe Hailey has a creepy obsession with Justin’s ex, Selena Gomez.) “It is such a mindfuck,” Hailey admitted. “I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live.” Reflecting on the persistent speculation, she added, “I thought seven years in it would’ve already [died down], and it hasn’t … So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.”
It was a powerful moment, but Justin immediately derailed it when he posted her Vogue cover on Instagram and wrote, “This reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue.” HUH? He’s since deleted that ~interesting~ anecdote and replaced it with some random-ass emojis, but I fear this overshadowed Hailey’s special day.
Along with her cover story, Hailey filmed a satirical take on Vogue’s “In The Bag?” series. Instead of showing what’s actually in her bag, she turned the segment into a bit, poking fun at the wild rumors about her. Here’s how Hailey responded to rumors that she stalks Selena.

During the Vogue segment, Hailey pulled her iPhone out of her Saint Laurent shoulder bag — “Very straightforward, obviously” — before pulling out six more phones. “These are a couple more that I keep on me,” she said. “And I really just use them for a lot of the simple stuff, like surfing anonymously, commenting, stalking, viewing girls’ pages, making multiple accounts. You know, that kind of thing.”
She’s often accused of weird behaviors like those ones. Back in March, a TikToker named Courtney claimed that Hailey “liked” her video making fun of Selena and her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Hailey’s rep called the accusations “fabricated” in statement. There are also countless edits by creators who believe Hailey obsessively copies Selena’s style, speeches, and career moves.
The Rhode founder also showed off a “little tincture potion” and joked that when she was 12, her dad flew her to meet with a “witch who lived in the mountains.” Hailey quipped, “She made this specifically for me. She told me that it would make a young Canadian pop star fall in love with me. So, yeah, been taking this one for years. Absolutely love it.” She sarcastically thanked her dad for the fictional witch meeting. (Hailey’s frequently accused of strategically pursuing Justin throughout her tween and teen years until they eventually started dating.)
Okay, I’m not a huge Hailey fan, but she did kind of eat with this silly version of “In The Bag.” Too bad Justin ruined it with his unhinged caption.
