Selena Gomez’s recent Instagram post has fans buzzing. On May 21, she wrote:
“You matter. Your voice matters. Your heart matters. You are worth so much more than you know,”
ending with, “You know who you are and I’m cheering you on.”
While vague, many believe the message was aimed at Hailey Bieber—especially after Justin Bieber’s awkward tribute to his wife on her Vogue cover. In his since-edited caption, Justin wrote:
“This reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue… forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.”
The internet didn’t take it well. Fans called Justin’s post humiliating and praised Selena for showing unexpected support.

“Selena Gomez liking a post about Hailey after her husband humiliated her… Justin Bieber is the real problem,” one user commented.
The moment has reignited praise for Selena’s consistent “be kind” message—and criticism toward Justin’s tone-deaf timing.
