The 28-year-old Rhode Beauty founder told WSJ Magazine she “doesn’t feel competitive with people she’s not inspired by”.

On Saturday, Selena, 33, spoke out, penning a post on her Instagram before quickly deleting it.

“She can say what she wants, it doesn’t affect my life whatsoever,” she snapped.

Just hours after Selena’s post, the two women appeared at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala in LA.

They both stunned on the carpet as they posed for photos.

Hailey opted for a brown corset dress and attended the glamorous event alongside best pal Kendall Jenner.

She arrived shortly after Selena, who is Justin’s ex girlfriend, rocked up to the carpet.

Selena looked sensational in a floor length black gown, and attended with husband Benny Blanco.

Selena’s now-deleted statement continued: “It’s just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me.

“There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop.”

On Hailey, she still urged fans to “leave the girl alone”.

Hailey and Justin tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their son Jack in 2024.

Selena previously dated Justin on and off from around 2010, with the two girls embroiled in constant feud rumors.

They attempted to put the nastiness to bed in 2022 by posing for a snap together, but fans still aren’t convinced.

In June, they noticed that Hailey and Selena unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Speaking in her WSJ interview, Hailey referenced the comparisons again, saying: “It’s always annoying being pitted against other people.

“I didn’t ask for that. When people want to see you a certain way and they’ve made up a story about you in their minds, it’s not up to you to change that.”

It comes after Selena tied the knot with her husband Benny Blanco last month.
