It all started with an eyebrow (or two).
If you’ve even stepped on social media for a moment as of late, you’ve probably seen rumours of Selena Gomez feuding with Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
Gossip around Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber has long been brewing, considering Selena – or should we say “Selener” – famously dated Hailey’s now-husband, Justin Bieber. But, back in October, the pair shut down their rumoured tiff when they hugged at the Academy Museum Gala.
Now, it looks like that reconciliation may have been short lived, as fans are speculating that Jenner and Bieber have been publicly throwing shade at Gomez over her eyebrows. Who knew that laminated brows could spark so much gossip? But, when it comes to this trio, they do.

Gomez has since quashed fans’ speculations around a fight with Jenner, but later criticized Bieber over a resurfaced video. So, are the high-profile trio feuding? Here’s what we know so far.
What happened between Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez?
If you somehow missed it amidst all of the buzz, the drama began after Gomez posted a video saying that she accidentally laminated her eyebrows too much, as TMZ reports.
Just a few hours later, Jenner posted a screenshot of a FaceTime with Bieber, which focused on their eyebrows. The post came accompanied by a selfie with the caption, “this was an accident?????,” over her eyebrows.
Gomez fans were quick to speculate that Jenner was poking fun at the Only Murders in the Building star, but both Jenner and Gomez reportedly denied that their posts were connected.
“This is reaching,” Jenner commented, according to Us Weekly. “No shade towards Selena ever and I didn’t see her eyebrow posts! U guys are making something out of nothing. This is silly. [sic]”
“Agreed @kyliejenner it’s all unnecessary,” Gomez added. “I’m a fan of Kylie!”

This all came to light just a few days after fans speculated that Bieber and Kylie’s sister, Kendall Jenner, had subtly made fun of Gomez in a clip with Justine Skye, where they lip-synched to audio that said, “And I’m not saying she deserved it, but I’m saying God’s timing is always right.”
Gomez responded by urging that she wasn’t phased by the video.
“I don’t let these things get me down!” Gomez wrote in a comment. “Be nice to everyone! x.”

Selena Gomez takes a break from social media
Following all of the high-profile drama (and the major Instagram achievement), Gomez revealed that she is once again taking a break from social media, as Entertainment Weekly details.
“I’m very happy, I’m so blessed, I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world and I just couldn’t be happier,” she reportedly said in the video. “I’m good. I love the way I am I don’t care, I’m big, I’m not, I don’t care. I love who I am. And yeah, I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly. And I’m 30, I’m too old for this, so…but I love you guys so much! And I will see you guys sooner than later, I just… I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.”
So, it’s tough to say whether there’s any truth to the rumours, but one thing’s for sure: in 2023, a pair of eyebrows can send the entire internet into a spiral.
