Hailey Bieber Asked To Be Left Alone On Social Media (Again)

If there is one thing Hailey Bieber will do, it’s speak out about her toxic social media experiences. After receiving unnecessary hate for years, the 25-year-old model decided to directly address her online critics in hopes of getting them to finally stop sending her mean messages.

The star shared her emotional plea in an April 12 TikTok. “This is for you guys in my comments every single time I post,” she captioned the clip, which has been viewed over 25 million times.

“Leave me alone at this point. I’m minding my business. I don’t do anything. I don’t say anything. Leave me alone, please,” she says in the video. “Enough time has gone by where it’s valid to leave me alone. I beg of you, truly. That’s my only request. Leave me alone. Be miserable somewhere else, please.”

While she doesn’t note the incident spurring her frustration, Hailey may have been referencing the hate she’s received since marrying Justin Bieber in September of 2018. Since Justin and Selena Gomez dated on and off from January 2011 to March 2018, Hailey has unfortunately been the target of online scrutiny from fans of the former couple who’ve compared her to Gomez.

For example, just a day before sharing her message to haters, Hailey responded to a viral TikTok in which someone claimed there’s “trouble in paradise” for the model and her husband. “I feel like things may be on the rocks,” TikTok user Blonde Rebel Tarot said in a celebrity predictions video about the couple. “Lmfaoooooooooo,” Hailey simply commented underneath the clip.

Hailey hasn’t always laughed off the rumors. In May of 2020, she opened up about how hurtful the scrutiny surrounding her relationship can be. "It’s definitely not easy,” she said in an episode of the Facebook Watch show The Biebers, adding getting compared to her husband’s ex-girlfriends makes her feel like “less of a woman.”

Hailey even quit Twitter due to comparison on social media. “I don’t even have a Twitter anymore because there was never really a time [where] I would go on there that it didn’t feel like it was a very toxic environment,” she said in March 2021 video on her YouTube channel. “The thought of even opening the app gives me such bad anxiety that I feel like I’m gonna throw up.”

Clearly, the topic is sensitive to Hailey, so props to her for having the courage to address her haters directly on TikTok.
