Hailey Bieber thanks Selena Gomez for speaking out after she received death threats

Hailey Bieber has thanked Selena Gomez for speaking out against the hate she's received.

In case you missed it, the pair have been at the centre of a heated debate as fans have accused Justin Bieber's wife of being a 'mean girl' and 'bullying' Gomez online.

There has long been speculation of a feud between the pair, and the rumours were reignited when Hailey and her friend Kylie Jenner uploaded an Instagram story which appeared to mock Gomez for over-laminating her eyebrows.

Despite the fact that the 'Calm Down' singer has repeatedly told fans to 'be kind', things have continued to escalate.

So much so that Hailey got in touch with Selena to say she'd been receiving death threats over the matter.

In a bid to put a stop to the madness, Selena took to Instagram to write: "Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity.

"This isn't what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying."

She added: "I've always advocated for kindness and really want all this to stop."

And now Hailey has shared her own statement on the matter, writing in an Instagram Story: "I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I...

"Things can always be taken out of context or construed differently than they were intended."
