The allegations come amid the popularity of a seven-part YouTube series that accuses Hailey of being obsessed with Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber prior to her marriage to the pop star. The series has reignited speculation around Hailey’s relationship with Justin, with many questioning her intentions. Farago pointed to TikTok trends where creators joke about “stalking” their partners, often ending these clips with images of Hailey—subtly linking her to the so-called “stalker” narrative.

In her video, Farago claimed she was allegedly offered “a decent amount of money” to take part in this trend but turned it down. “I would never do that,” she said, adding that while the trend may appear humorous, it is “lowkey not” funny.

While no direct evidence has emerged proving that creators are being paid to promote these narratives, Farago’s comments have fueled speculation. Many fans have expressed concern over the impact such content could have on Hailey’s mental well-being and public image.

Hailey Bieber has faced mounting online criticism in recent months, especially regarding her relationship with Justin Bieber and comparisons to his ex, Selena Gomez. Farago’s claims have added a new layer to the growing discourse, prompting further scrutiny over how viral trends can influence public perception.

While no direct evidence of paid coordination has surfaced, the incident highlights how viral content can blur the line between humor and harm.
