Selena Gomez accused of SHADING Hailey Bieber following sale of her beauty brand Rhode
News hit the web earlier this week that Hailey's company was being acquired by E.l.f. Cosmetics in a massive, $1 billion deal.
The mom-of-one, 28, will still serve as founder of the brand as well as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation.
Just one day after the announcement, Selena's cosmetics company Rare Beauty posted two snaps of Selena and simply captioned them with, 'Still here.'
One of the images showed the Bad Liar songstress blowing a kiss towards the camera, while another featured her starring into the lens with a sultry look on her face.
Many fans became convinced that Selena, 32, was subtly poking fun at Hailey's sale with the post, and they were not amused.
Hailey's supporters quickly flooded the replies of the post with angry messages.
'It seems like Hailey is always on her mind. Pathetic,' one outraged user wrote.
'The way she's actually shady as hell,' added another.
'She actually pisses me off. Like MOVE ON UR A GROWN A** WOMAN,' scathed someone else.
'At this point you might as well tag her,' a fourth tweet read.
'Omfg this girl won't miss an opportunity to shade… she needs attention so bad,' a fifth said.
A different user penned, 'It doesn't seem like the behavior of someone who claims to be a girl's girl.'
'She is so mean. This is so unnecessary,' someone else wrote.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Rare Beauty for comment.
Hailey launched her much-anticipated brand in June 2022, releasing only three products at the time - Peptide Glazing Fluid, Barrier Restore Cream, and Peptide Lip Treatment.
Many fans became convinced that Selena, 32, was subtly poking fun at Hailey's sale with the post, and they were not amused.
Since then, the brand has grown exponentially, expanding into different tinted lip products, blush, and even viral phone cases that double as lip gloss carriers.
'E.l.f. Beauty found a like-minded disruptor in Rhode,' said E.l.f. Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin Wednesday, per Business Wire.
'Rhode further diversifies our portfolio with a fast-growing brand that makes the best of prestige accessible,' his statement continued.
'We are excited by Rhode's ability to break beauty barriers, fully aligning with E.l.f. Beauty's vision to create a different kind of company. Rhode is a beautiful brand that we believe is ready for rocketship growth.'
Following the news, Hailey took to Instagram to break her silence on the monumental deal.
'When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing Rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' she wrote in the caption, which was accompanied by two pictures of her.
'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with E.l.f. Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of Rhode.
'I found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do and will help us continue to grow the brand.
'I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of Rhode as well as strategic advisor to E.l.f. Beauty.'
Selena and Hailey have long been pitted against each other due to their shared romantic link with Hailey's husband Justin Bieber.
However, both beauty founders have made attempts to quash the narrative with statements on social media and in the press.
Last week, Selena seemingly showed her support for Hailey when she liked a post by Sephora announcing a collaboration with Rhode.
Rhode products will begin being sold at Sephora this fall, joining Selena's Rare Beauty items on the retailer's shelves.
In April Hailey was called a 'creepy stalker' for using similar language in her 2025 Daily Front Row acceptance speech to what Gomez used in a 2021 interview with Special Madame Figaro Arabia.
As Hailey picked up the Beauty Innovator of the Year Award, she said, 'When I started Rhode, I didn't want to start a brand for the sake of starting a brand. I really wanted to create an entire world.'

Report: Toyota Still Considering Smaller Unibody Truck for US
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Sure, they're cleaner and more energy efficient, but automakers like Hyundai, Cadillac and Porsche are betting a better way to get buyers interested in EVs is to sell their unrivaled performance. Ford and Hyundai have succeeded in the compact truck segment — could Toyota be next? Small trucks have had a bumpy history in the States. However, lately, some automakers have found success with smaller-than-usual offerings, including Ford's Maverick and Hyundai's Santa Cruz, both of which are small pickups. The small truck segment could grow even more with the Bezos-backed Slate pickup, albeit its existence has become a lot more uncertain in the last few weeks as EV incentives go the way of Amelia Earhart. Then, we get to Toyota. Recent reports coming from Automotive News seem to indicate Toyota may still bring a tyke-sized truck to the US market, and it might not be the truck you expect it to be. 2025 Toyota Tacoma SR 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat A smaller Toyota truck would not share much with existing Toyota truck offerings While the current Toyota truck lineup in the US features solely body-on-frame construction, the prospective addition to the family would likely be based on the RAV4. Automotive News reports that Toyota Motor North America is still 'studying' a compact unibody-based pickup for the US market. They also confirm that the Corolla-based and electrified truck that Toyota is selling in Brazil is decidedly 'too small' for the US. Disappearing incentives/rebates and tariffs are also likely contributing factors as to why we won't get that smaller pickup. By providing your email address, you agree that it may be used pursuant to Arena Group's Privacy Policy. Toyota EPU Concept Toyota EPU Concept A truck built on the TNGA-K platform — which underpins the RAV4, Camry, Sienna, and others — means staying more than competitive with other small truck offerings. The Grand Highlander, a TNGA-K vehicle, can tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is 1,000 more than what the Maverick can muster. Considering even the three-row Grand Highlander is only two inches longer than the Maverick, the platform's size would be right on the money, too. Although at one point speculation pointed towards electrification, that plan — if there ever was one — is almost certainly scrapped in the face of loosening EPA regulations and dashed EV rebates. In the US, anyway, as Europe is a different story. Automotive News thinks 2028 would be the earliest we'd see the hypothetical truck. A new small truck fits Toyota's goals like a glove In related chats with Ted Ogawa, Toyota North America CEO, Automotive News uncovered additional pieces of the puzzle that might point towards a tinier truck alternative. 'When we talk about affordability, the key is the entry segment,' Ogawa says. 'So, in our lineup, that means Corolla and Corolla Cross.' That covers the small SUV and sedan segment; why not bring in an 'entry segment' truck to round things out? Another priority of Ogawa's — and, realistically, all automakers — is getting the most bang per buck at a platform level. 'Products must be refreshed, but the platform can be extended,' he tells AN.

You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. There's one last intimation we glean from the Ogawa interview. 'Toyota's basic policy is to build where we sell and buy where we build,' he starts. Later, we get a real-world example. 'In the case of the Corolla sedan, currently the internal-combustion version is built in Mississippi. But the hybrid is built in Japan, because that plant is more competitive for that product.' We can't imagine any market more ready to chomp at the bit for an affordable, small Toyota pickup than the US. The Slate hype — which may have, ultimately, been just that — was all the evidence we needed. 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 2025 Ford Maverick Final thoughts New Toyota truck rumors have persisted for years. Ford moved 48,041 Mavericks in just the second quarter of 2025. Arguably more importantly, a whopping 60% of Maverick buyers were new to the brand. Some of those customers inevitably migrated from Toyota, and that's got to hurt. We think the chances are high that Toyota wants to bring a competitor to the market. It's just a question of when, and whether or not 2028 will be too late. About the Author Steven Paul View Profile

Grammy-nominated singer cancels his entire tour over poor ticket sales as he confesses he 'aimed too high'
JP Saxe has been forced to cancel his entire tour over poor ticket sales as he confessed he 'aimed too high'. The singer, 32, was nominated for a Grammy in 2021 for hit song If The World Was Ending, which he sang alongside his ex-girlfriend Julia Michaels. But now, he has explained that he is struggling to venues that sit just 2,000 people and needed to sell 20,000 tickets to stop his tour from being cancelled. Sharing updates to social media, he confessed he felt embarrassed but had been forced to cancel his American The Make Yourself At Home tour. The tour was planned to run for 32 dates across America, starting in September and running through to the end of October. He said: 'I'm extremely embarrassed to tell you this, but I'm going to tell you anyway. If I don't sell 20 or so thousand tickets to my tour in the next 48 hours, it's going to be cancelled. The singer, 32, was nominated for a Grammy in 2021 for hit song If The World Was Ending which he sang alongside ex girlfriend Julia Michaels 'If we're just not in a place yet to sell out these 2,000-, 3,000-cap venues – that's fine. It's always been my goal to connect deeply, not widely, and I stand by that. 'But just in case you were waiting till the week of or night of to buy a ticket – that approach just isn't going to work, because there won't be a show to buy a ticket to. 'So whether that happens or not, I'm grateful to you for caring about my songs, and I hold on to a sliver of hope that I will see you in the fall.' After his clip explaining the crucial situation, he confirmed that, despite an influx in sales, it wasn't enough to keep his tour afloat. Thanking fans for selling a few thousand extra tickets, a follow-up video saw him tell fans: 'I am beyond grateful to every one of you who bought one. 'Those few thousand tickets are a reminder that being transparent in failure sometimes can be more powerful than the façade of success – a reminder of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together. 'This really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me.' Tickets are believed to be refunded to the original buyer, with Saxe saying they will 'come with a small side of immense gratitude from a dorky ginger Canadian'. She went on: 'The industry standard in this situation is to offer some ego-saving explanation – ''wrong timing'', ''new opportunities,'' ''a scheduling conflict,'' ''illness,'' ''global warming…'' 'What you're not supposed to say is: ''Hey, I guess people aren't really f**king with me right now.'' I aimed too high – my bad.' Musicians Julia and JP Saxe opted to end their relationship in September 2022. after three years of dating, multiple sources confirmed to People. Julia and JP's relationship was born from their collaboration on the 2019 ballad If The World Was Ending. Although they co-wrote the track, it was credited to Saxe, with Michaels listed as the featured artist. The song reached number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and ultimately sold more than three million units in the US. The song's success continued with the pair earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year, which is specifically awarded to songwriters, rather than the performing artists, though Michaels and Saxe did double duty on the track. The singer–songwriters launched their relationship shortly after collaborating on the song, and they were driven closer to each other while quarantining together at the start of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But break-up rumours had been swirling since earlier this month, when they shared duelling social media posts that appeared to reveal break-up songs in the works.
