Selena Gomez Seemingly Defends Hailey Baldwin After That 'I'll Kill You' Incident
Selena Gomez might be working through some stuff with her new singles, but that doesn’t mean she wants any drama.
People reports that the 27-year-old singer released not one, but two singles this week, and both seem to be fully about her eight-year on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber. The first single, “Lose You to Love Me” is an emotional song in which she sings, “In two months you replaced us like it was easy,” which fans believe is a nod to the fact that Bieber began hooking up with now-wife Hailey Baldwin just a few months after the couple’s March 2018 split.
The second song, the more upbeat “Look At Her Now,” speaks of the singer in third person, saying, “It was her first real lover / His too ’til he had another / Oh God when she found out / Trust levels went way down,” possibly referencing an infidelity or flirtation during her relationship with Bieber.
Naturally, #Jelena fans have been eating up the Bieber references, and have become slightly aggressive with Baldwin as a result. This only escalated when the model took to Instagram yesterday to post a screenshot of the Summer Walker song "I'll Kill You," which Gomez stans took to be a response to her new music.
Well, Gomez quickly took to Instagram and to the model’s defense, recording the video below to her Story. Though she doesn’t mention Baldwin by name, she states, “I am grateful for the response that the song is getting. I’m so grateful. However, I do not stand for women tearing women down. I will never, ever be by that,” adding, “So please be kind to everyone.”
The musician concludes the video, “It doesn’t matter what the situation is, if you’re my fans don’t be rude to anybody, please. Don’t go off and say things that you just feel in the moment. Please, for me, know that that’s not my heart. My heart is only to release things that I feel, that are me, and that I’m proud of.”
Even in the midst of heartache, Gomez is promoting girl power, and we couldn't respect that more!
