The Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez saga is a long-running drama, but a new TikTok documentary has revived the story in a way that’s gone viral. The 7-part series exposes Hailey’s alleged 10-year plan to marry her now-husband, Justin Bieber, and has reignited the drama, especially with Selena Gomez seemingly throwing shade at her ex-boyfriend in her latest album, I Said I Love You First, which she released alongside her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
Whether you're a fan of Justin or Selena’s music or not, you’ve probably come across this viral docuseries on TikTok. It claims Hailey allegedly pursued Justin for a decade before they got married. The series traces their relationship starting in 2009, when Hailey, then 13, was introduced to Justin, who was 15, backstage at the Today Show by her father, Stephen Baldwin. The documentary covers everything from that first meeting to their wedding in 2019.
The series also highlights a number of ‘coincidences,’ like when Hailey and Selena wore the same dresses, hosted similar cooking shows, or participated in identical campaigns for their respective brands—often with Selena having been the first to do so.?Here's a breakdown of the viral docuseries, in case you missed it:
The TikTok documentary is actually a breakdown of a YouTube video titled Hailey Bieber's Dangerous Decade-Long Obsession, originally shared six months ago. The series chronicles Hailey’s journey as a "successful believer" who turned her 13-year-old dream into reality, claiming that she used her connections and persistence to get closer to Justin Bieber over the years.
The story begins in 2009, during the peak of Bieber Fever, when Hailey, like many teenage girls at the time, likely had a crush on the pop star. However, the creator of the docuseries suggests that Hailey's obsession went beyond fandom, alleging that she used her famous father and network of friends to stay close to Justin. The video claims that Hailey strategically inserted herself into Justin’s life, eventually making her way into his orbit to become his "One Less Lonely Girl."
Hailey’s journey with Justin allegedly began in 2009 when Stephen Baldwin, Hailey’s father, introduced her to Justin on The Today Show. This meeting followed the release of Justin's 2009 hits One Time and One Less Lonely Girl. The video points out that Hailey's father seemed to play a pivotal role in ensuring this first encounter.
The video claims that Hailey’s obsession with Justin didn’t end after their first meeting. In 2011, Hailey reportedly appeared at the Never Say Never movie premiere in Los Angeles, where paparazzi shots suggest she was keeping a close eye on Justin. Hailey allegedly managed to get a picture with him on the red carpet, thanks to her father’s connections.
Four months after that, Hailey attended Selena Gomez's Monte Carlo premiere, where she posed with a magazine cover featuring Justin and Selena—showing signs of what the docuseries refers to as “Jelena” fandom, a term coined by fans of the Justin-Selena relationship.
Hailey also made an appearance at the Toyota Concert Series at Rockefeller Centre in 2012, where Justin was performing.
In 2012, when Justin and Selena were dating, Hailey was allegedly spotted in the background during a date between the couple, supposedly following them around to keep an eye on Justin.
In 2019, a superfan of Justin named Dana released a video claiming to have helped set up Hailey with the singer. Dana, who ran a Bieber fan account with over 200k followers, alleged that Hailey reached out to her for information about Justin’s whereabouts. Dana claims she would track Justin’s locations and share them with Hailey, who would then book rooms nearby or dine at the same restaurants, hoping to 'bump' into him.
In an effort to prove her loyalty as a Belieber, Hailey also participated in a fan project, recreating a video that Justin and Selena had made for Carly Rae Jepsen's song Call Me Maybe.
In 2014, when Justin and Selena had their longest break, Justin got close to Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Since Hailey was also friends with the Jenner sisters, the docuseries suggests that her access to Justin became easier, as she no longer had to rely on fan pages for information.
In 2014, Hailey went on her first date with Justin, and they were photographed together after a movie date, with Hailey reportedly staying at his house overnight.
The documentary also claims that Selena’s famous 2014 trip to Dubai with Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid was a setup, allegedly orchestrated by Hailey, who didn’t want Justin and Selena to rekindle their relationship. The docuseries suggests Hailey was actively trying to spend holidays with Justin during this time.
The documentary points out a moment when Hailey seemingly shaded Halsey. After Justin was seen on a dinner date with Halsey in 2014, Hailey posted a video of herself in the car, asking her driver to change the station when a Halsey song came on the radio. This is seen as an act of jealousy, as Justin had reportedly made it clear that he was still harbouring feelings for Selena, even praising her in interviews.
The docuseries claims that over the years, Hailey often copied Selena’s style and actions, seemingly in an effort to divert Justin’s attention. There are numerous examples, such as Hailey wearing dresses Selena had worn, starting her own TikTok cooking series similar to Selena’s Selena + Chef, and even launching a campaign for her brand Rhode, mirroring Selena’s marketing strategies.
Hailey’s behaviour is said to have become more obsessive, with claims that she got a tattoo in the same font and location as Selena’s “G” tattoo. Additionally, Hailey reportedly got a ring finger tattoo that resembled a ring Justin had given Selena.
In 2019, Hailey claimed that she and Justin had started dating in 2016. However, the docuseries points out that Justin was spotted with Selena in 2018 on multiple occasions before officially breaking up with her later that year. Just six months later, Justin married Hailey, shocking many fans of Jelena. The docuseries also highlight various instances where Hailey allegedly copied Selena’s quotes and statements during interviews.
This breakdown paints a picture of a decade-long obsession, with Hailey supposedly using various strategies and connections to get closer to Justin and eventually win his heart. Whether all of this is true or just speculation, it’s clear the TikTok documentary has sparked a renewed interest in the Hailey-Selena-Justin saga.
