Elle reported that in January 2020, Gomez, Hailey, and Beer were all at the same restaurant in Los Angeles one night, though Gomez was celebrating the release of her album "Rare" while Hailey and Beer were dining with other friends.
According to Elle, rumors circulated on Twitter that Beer, Hailey, and Gomez had a disagreement at the restaurant, which Beer denied. When Gomez unfollowed Beer on Instagram, some fans began to harass Beer.
"These rumors are gettin insane. I just had dinner with my friend Hailey of ten years. And that's it? How is that a crime? I love Selena... Always have," she wrote on Instagram. "And I would literally never in a million years try to upset her??? This is just mean and unnecessary and nothing happened. It was just a coincidence, you're bullying me for no reason..."
Gomez interceded herself, commenting on Beer's post and following her again.
"This is disgusting reading all of this. This wasn't intentional whatsoever. I'm so disappointed that people would speak to someone like this," Gomez wrote, per Elle. "I have known Madison since she was a baby and watched her continue to become the woman she is. There is no issue."

"I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody — that's the end of it," Hailey said on the podcast.
"The timeline also that I think sometimes is in question of like — us getting together and getting engaged and him having been spending time with his ex before that — this is so crazy, I've literally never talked about this, ever," she continued. "I understand again, how it looks from the outside and there's a lot of perception there, but that was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door."

Hailey said on "Call Her Daddy" that she had spoken to Gomez since marrying Justin in 2018.
"It's all respect, it's all love," she said. "That's also why I feel like if everybody on our side knows what happened and we're good and we could walk away from it with clarity and respect, then that's fine. Which has brought me a lot of peace and I'm like, 'Hey, we know what happened.'"

"I think some of the things that I don't even need to be aware of are just vile and disgusting,' Gomez said during a TikTok Live a day after the podcast was released. "And it's not fair, and noe one ever should be spoken to in the manner that I've seen."
The comments appear to address some of her fans who were harassing the Biebers following the episode, Insider previously reported.

TikTok user @ellenacuario posted a video reacting to a theory that one of Hailey's since-deleted TikTok videos was targeting Gomez's weight gain.
In the original clip, People reported, Hailey posted a video with two friends (including Kendall Jenner) lip-syncing along to a popular TikTok audio that says: "I'm not saying she deserved it, but I'm saying God's timing is always right." The theory linked the timing of the video to Gomez being body-shamed for recent weight gain.
"It's ok! I don't let these things get me down! Be nice to everyone! x," Gomez said in the comments of @ellenacuario's video in February, according to People.
Hailey had also publicly denied the theory that her original video and Gomez's weight gain were linked.
"I never comment on this type of thing but we were just having a girls night and did a random tik tok sound for fun. It's not directed at anyone," she commented on a different TikTok about the theory in January.

Kylie responded to the video, posted by user @devotedly.yours, saying that it was "reaching" and that she meant "no shade towards Selena."
Gomez agreed, commenting on the same video, "It's all unnecessary. I'm a fan of Kylie!"

In an Instagram live video, Gomez said that she was going to be taking a break from social media, Insider reported.
"I'm so blessed. I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world, and I just couldn't be happier. I'm good," she said. "I love who I am. And, yeah. I'm going to be taking a second from social media 'cause it's… this is a little silly. I'm 30. I'm too old for this."
