As the wife of international superstar Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber is an incredibly recognizable figure. And that comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. As a result, Hailey’s behavior is regularly scrutinized by strangers on the Internet, and people she has interacted with in the real world. The Rhode Skin founder was called out by restaurant hostess, Julia Carolan, who shared a series of TikToks regarding celebrities she’d served while working in New York City. Discussing Hailey, Carolan said, “This is gonna be controversial.” She continued, “I’ve met her a handful of times and every time she was not nice. I really wanna like her, but I have to give her a 3.5 out of 10. Sorry.” According to JustJared, Hailey ended up apologizing to Carolan, but the damage to her reputation was likely already done.
Following her rise to fame, Hailey’s old Internet posts were also reshared online, and the model was accused of being racist, sexist, and homophobic. For instance, in a since-deleted X (formerly known as Twitter) post, Hailey wrote (via RadarOnline.com), “Shut up before I smack you back to your own country!” Some of Hailey’s alleged social media posts contained explicit language, and appeared to target a number of minorities. While the model was much younger when she shared these ignorant posts and offensive messages, onlookers started to wonder if they’d witnessed the shady side of Hailey Bieber.
