Hailey Bieber talks about being pitted against Selena Gomez
The Rhode founder opened up on how major career milestones, such as her beauty brand being acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, has not stopped the negative comments about her marriage to Justin Bieber or the comparisons with other celebrities.
Bieber said that she has not felt “competitive” with other beauty brands. She said that there is an ample amount of space for every brand to exist. “I think there is space for everybody. I don’t feel competitive with people that I’m not inspired by,” she explained.
According to ELLE, when the reporter tried to ask Hailey Bieber about Gomez and Rare Beauty, her publicist “shut the question down.” However, the model said that she finds all comparisons extremely “annoying” and cannot change people’s perceptions about her.
“It’s always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn’t ask for that. When people want to see you a certain way and they’ve made up a story about you in their minds, it’s not up to you to change that,” she said.
