Hailey Bieber Shuts Down Viral TikTok Marriage Slurs
The internet remains the most formidable opponent for Hailey Bieber. Over the weekend, the Rhode beauty mogul found herself back in the digital trenches, forced to debunk a viral claim that she had "accidentally" exposed the cracks in her seven-year marriage to Justin Bieber.
The drama ignited when TikTok users began sharing screenshots allegedly showing that Hailey had "reposted" a scathing video analyzing her relationship. The clip in question, created by a social media commentator, took a cynical lens to long-term celebrity couples, using the Biebers as a primary example of "toxic co-dependency."
"Tolerating Mediocrity"
The original video didn't pull its punches. The creator claimed that many romanticized Hollywood marriages only function because the woman is a "tolerant co-dependent" who "tolerates mediocrity, abuse, and doing the majority of domestic and emotional labor." The narrator went on to explicitly name the couple, stating, "There is no better example than Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber." When a notification appeared on many feeds suggesting Hailey herself had shared the post to her millions of followers, the internet went into a tailspin, with many speculating it was a "cry for help" or a slip of the thumb.
The Clapback
Hailey, who has become increasingly vocal about the "mindf**k" of online scrutiny, didn't wait for the rumors to settle. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, January 10, she delivered a direct and icy dismissal of the narrative.
“Hey! I know you guys who live on the internet are really bored, but I didn't repost any video speaking on my relationship,” she wrote over a snap of a cup of iced tea. “Have a beautiful Saturday!”
Despite her denial, the debate rages on. Some fans argue the repost was a genuine technical glitch or a "ghost-repost" (where a user watches a video long enough for the algorithm to misfire), while more cynical corners of X (formerly Twitter) insist they saw the "Reposted" tag on her profile before it was scrubbed.
2026: A Year of United Fronts
This latest skirmish comes at a time when the couple is reportedly "thriving" behind closed doors. Since welcoming their son, Jack Blues, in late 2024, the Biebers have largely pivoted toward a more private, family-oriented lifestyle. Justin recently defended his wife against drug-use rumors and divorce speculation, with representatives calling the constant "salacious narratives" exhausting and pitiful.
As Hailey noted in her recent Vogue cover story, she expected the "bitches to be mad" even after they had a child, but the persistence of the "abuse" narrative clearly hit a nerve. For now, the Rhode founder is choosing to focus on her billion-dollar business empire and her 16-month-old son, leaving the "bored" corners of the internet to chase shadows.
