Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) has had enough trolling and isn't afraid to speak out about it. In a TikTok post on Tuesday, she begged longtime haters in the comments of her posts to go away.
"Leave me alone at this point," she said in the video. "I'm minding my business. I don't do anything, I don't say anything. Leave me alone, please!"
It's unclear what she's specifically referring to, but she does drop a small hint. "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," she continued.
Hailey has dealt with increased trolling for the duration of her relationship with husband Justin Bieber, largely over Justin's previous eight-year on-again, off-again relationship with his ex, Selena Gomez, which ended for good in 2018.
In 2019, after Gomez released the song "Lose You To Love Me," which is thought to be about Justin, she had to publicly address her fans who were being hurtful to Hailey online.
Gomez's song contains very specific lyrics like, "In two months you replaced us / Like it was easy," which many presumed to be referring to the fact that the Biebers began dating less than three months after Justin and Gomez split for the last time. Justin and Hailey have made public appearances together since 2009 and had an on-and-off-again friendship until 2018, when they began dating and later married.
Shortly after the song's release, Gomez posted a now-deleted video asking her fans to "be kind" online.
"I am grateful for the response the song is getting," she said, "however I do not stand for women tearing women down and I will never ever be by that," she said in part. "So please be kind to everyone. It doesn't matter what the situation is, if you're my fans don't be rude to anybody."
In December 2020, Justin and Hailey both responded to a fan who encouraged others to spam the couple with comments about Gomez. At the time, Hailey called the fan's behavior "shockingly unhealthy and sad."
And in March 2021, Hailey opened up on her YouTube channel about why she doesn't go on Instagram during the week.
"After getting married especially it really opened me up to this new kind of level of attention," she said during a conversation about social media with Dr. Jessica Clemons. "I think one of the biggest things I struggled with for sure was the comparison aspect of body comparison and looks comparison and behavior comparison."
"I think when you're going through a situation where you just have so many people hounding you with the same thing over and over and over again it starts to mess with your mind and you start to question everything and you're like, 'is there something that I'm not seeing that they see? Maybe they're right.'"
