Hailey Bieber dubbed 'creepy stalker' as fans accuse her of copying Selena Gomez's quote in interview

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hailey Bieber is once again in the spotlight for alleged mimicry - this time over an acceptance speech that social media users claim closely mirrors Selena Gomez’s past words.

A viral TikTok video compared Hailey’s remarks while accepting the Beauty Innovator of the Year award to Selena’s 2021 interview with Madame Figaro, and fans didn’t hold back, reports Daily Mail.

Hailey Bieber faces backlash after Selena Gomez speech comparison goes viral

“When I started Rhode, I didn't want to start a brand for the sake of starting a brand,” said Hailey, 28.

Interestingly, her sentiment mirrored what Selena expressed nearly four years ago, “I didn't want to launch a makeup line for the sake to launch a brand. What interests me is cultivating beauty from the inside.”

The near-identical phrasing led many online to label Hailey a “creepy stalker.” Another commenter didn’t hold back, calling her “Does Hailey have a personality of her own?”

One commenter claimed, “Hailey Bieber is always JEALOUS & COPYCAT of Selena Gomez's life & career successful!” while another chimed in, “I remember Selena's speech on my FYP and then I seen Hailey's speech, even after the 7 part series, she's still copying Selena??? Embarrassing.”

One wrote, “She is such a nepo baby g and her biggest achievement is she married Bieber!”

Some commenters came to Hailey Bieber's defense, suggesting that similarities in brand messaging are often the result of PR strategies saying, “It’s almost as if… they’re both given speeches/told what to say by their PR team… not to mention that’s such a vague statement to make???”

Hailey Bieber accused of copying Selena Gomez after near-identical Disneyland trip with Justin Bieber

The controversy reignited accusations that Hailey has been shadowing Gomez, especially following a Disneyland trip with husband Justin Bieber that mirrored one Selena and her boyfriend Benny Blanco took back in February, right down to the same rides and matching Mickey Mouse ears.

Critics have continued connecting the dots between the two couples’ public appearances. Fans noticed that Hailey wore the same signature polka-dotted Minnie Mouse ears as Selena had on during her visit, and both couples were seen on the exact same Disneyland rides, including Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters and the Cars attraction.

“Not the exact same freaking ride too,” one shocked commenter wrote, while others questioned whether these similarities were coincidental or calculated.

TikTok users compiled side-by-side footage showing near-identical outfits and activities, prompting fresh claims that Hailey is “obsessed” with Justin’s ex.
