Hailey Bieber unveils truth behind Met Gala 'Selena' chants, shedding light on misunderstood moments and her personal growth with Justin Bieber.
Hailey Bieber gives us a behind-the-scenes look at a situation from the 2021 Met Gala that captivated the public's attention and led to a lot of information in an exclusive throwback interview. In this open discussion, the creator of Rhode clarifies what transpired during the now-famous "Selena" chants and discusses the fallout, how she dealt with detractors, and information about her relationship with Justin Bieber.
What actually happened at Met Gala
The Met Gala, which is famous for its glitz, glamour, and unexpected appearances, experienced its fair share of controversy in 2021. The unexpected occurred as Hailey and Justin Bieber walked the red carpet together: people started chanting Selena Gomez's name. Justin was recorded giving consoling words to Hailey, who appeared to be in a vulnerable state with teary eyes.
Hailey is now putting the myths and rumours to rest, though, after they become widespread. She discussed the incident in detail in a recent "Call Her Daddy" podcast episode. She says, "Yes, I heard everyone shouting. "I believe there's a part of you that feels numb, almost as...I was genuinely shocked.
Hailey's clarification on the chants
She clarifies that she didn't realise people had been chanting for Justin's ex-girlfriend until she subsequently watched a video of the incident. Hailey herself has refuted the myth that Justin was consoling her as a result of the chants. "Everyone was like, 'Oh he's trying to tell her not to cry,' this entire thing. That wasn't accurate. I wasn't crying about it, she says. She emphasises that bullying in general was rude and painful for her.
"...he was not ever in a relationship," clarifies Hailey
Hailey, who is renowned for her openness and authenticity, also responds to persistent rumours that her connection with Justin overlapped with his previous association with Selena Gomez. She vehemently refutes any such assertions, stating, "No. not even once. He had never been in a relationship at the time he and I began hooking up or doing anything similar. To interfere with someone's relationship is not in my nature. She highlights her principles and upbringing and states categorically that she would never act in such a way.
