Hailey Bieber, the influencer and model wife of pop star Justin Bieber, opened up on Instagram Wednesday about how she’s been feeling “fragile” and that the start of 2023 has brought her some of the “saddest, hardest moments” of her adult life.Bieber, 26, didn’t identify those sad, hard moments but people assume she’s talking about the internet labeling her a celebrity “mean girl” in her perceived social media feud with Selena Gomez, the multi-talented ex-girlfriend of her husband. Bieber reportedly faced so much “hateful online negativity,” as well as death threats, that Gomez, her supposed nemesis, stepped in to defend Bieber and to ask her own fans to lay off.Maybe Bieber also is sad because she has yet to identify a clear purpose for why she wants to be famous, beyond being known for being the wife of a mega-famous pop star.Bieber could easily sit back and lead a happy, quiet life with her husband and save herself...
