Hailey Bieber sets the record straight: Here’s what she had to say
In Cooper’s interview, Hailey was asked a series of questions about her relationship with Justin and Selena. When asked if there was any crossover between their relationship while Justin was with Selena, the model then replied:
“This is so crazy, I’ve literally never talked about this ever. A lot of the perpetuation and the hate comes from, ‘Oh, you stole him.'”

Hailey finally told her truth about whether or not she was involved romantically with Justin while he was with the Wizards of Waverly Place actress. She said:
“I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody — that’s the end of it.”
The model added that it is not “in her character to mess with someone’s relationship.” Bieber acknowledged that she is aware of the increased interest in her marriage and how it relates to her husband’s previous relationships.
“Well I think even for starters, even me talking about him, or talking about our relationship, people will take that and be like, ‘All she ever talks about is her relationship with him,”
The Rhode Skincare owner also admitted there was “no drama” between her and Bieber’s ex-girlfriend. Hailey explained that “Neither of us owes anybody anything except respect.”
Hailey has faced a lot of backlash since marrying Justin. She even revealed what transpired in the infamous Met Gala video last year. In the video, she appeared to be in tears. This came after crowds of people chanted Selena’s name as the couple walked the red carpet.
Hailey said she did not realise people had been yelling for Justin’s ex-girlfriend until she later watched a video of the incident. She said that the incident was nothing more than having something in her eye.
“I felt like I had something in my eye,” she said. “See, that’s what goes to show you how out of context things can be seen.”
The full episode will be released on Thursday.
