Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez's infamous drama does not seem to be ending anytime soon. While the two have a ton of history involved, this time, the duo is in controversy as Bieber’s stylist, Von Ford, has involved himself by posting an apparent "hate" message for Gomez on his social media.

After Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber were accused of shading the Kill 'Em With Kindness singer, the celebrity stylist who works for Justin Bieber's wife, amongst other celebrities too, posted an Instagram Story alongside the caption:

“I hate Selena Gomez.”

However, as soon as he posted the story, the floodgates to backlash and online criticism opened up, forcing Instagram to delete the story as many users reported it. However, flagging the post did not stop Von Ford, as he posted a screenshot of an Instagram message where the platform had claimed that since the story did not meet their guidelines, they deleted it.

This time, he posted another message with a screenshot, stating:

“I said what I said.”
