HAILEY Bieber has left fans claiming she attempted to trick them into thinking her husband, Justin, filmed a video of her lying in bed.
In August, the supermodel posted and quickly deleted a flirty TikTok video, sparking chatter from her followers.
It has since resurfaced, showing Hailey, 27, shyly smiling and waving at the camera while lounging under the covers in her Los Angeles, California home.
The Victoria’s Secret model looked comfortable in a black tank top, no makeup, and her brunette locks in a messy bun.
At one point, she shielded her face with her hand before making a kissy face at the lens.
Despite wiping the clip from her news feed, it reemerged on social media, where fans questioned who took the video.
‘SO DESPERATE’
In one online thread, critics accused Hailey of “pretending” that her pop star husband, Justin, 30, was behind the camera amid rumors they’re having marriage problems.
“Hailey is the definition of embarrassment. She is the only person living in the land of delusion..,” the original poster captioned the post.
“There is no logical reason for her to act as if Justin is filming her and talking to the camera while she is the one holding the phone and filming herself. She is so desperate,” they added.
Others also believed that Hailey might have crafted the video to suggest that she and Justin were on good terms.
“Yeah, if someone was filming her for this, they’d be standing next to the bed holding the phone waist level in her face. You can see the other pillow of the bed behind her right at the start of the video,” another observed.
“Also if someone else was filming her, she’d be making eye contact with the person behind the camera but she’s not- she’s making eye contact with the camera itself…. because there is no one behind the camera,” someone else pointed out.
“Are we all crazy or is she actually filming herself? Omg she’s so embarrassing,” said a third.
“I know Justin be getting second hand embarrassment really bad. Everything she does is always for Justin. Like girl, leave him alone,” ripped a fourth.
“If she wanted to pull this off right she should’ve looked off the camera, as if she’s staring at Justin, not into it,” a user suggested.
Over the weekend, fans ripped Hailey for sharing a photo on her Instagram Stories of a chocolate Easter egg with her and Justin’s names on it.
Fans claimed the move was the runway model’s way of doing “damage control,” as chatter swirls that she and Justin are parting ways.
“If he is there, she would’ve already made sure to get a photo of them together and post it,” one fan speculated in a popular forum.
“I feel like she is trying to do damage control as much as possible right now.”
Another agreed and added, “But also wonder if maybe it has a secondary purpose to make him feel guilty for not being there with her for the holiday.
“Something along the lines of, ‘I made Easter so special for us and you couldn’t even show up,’ Or not, who knows?”
Others pointed out that the Easter eggs appeared to be the same ones shared by the Kardashian-Jenner family, hinting that Hailey spent the holiday with them.
Hailey also posted sexy solo shots of herself posing on the beach in a skimpy black swimsuit and bunny ears.
With Justin nowhere in sight, fans believed he didn’t join her for any Easter festivities.
HEADING FOR SPLITSVILLE?
Justin has recently been spotted on numerous occasions in La Quinta, leading fans to think he’s hiding out from his wife.
The pair have reportedly been living separately – an arrangement that could eventually become permanent.
An insider close to the duo told In Touch Weekly, “Hailey’s struggling.
“She just needs time to sort things out on her own.
“Hailey just wants to live by herself for a while,” the source added.
They also said that divorce isn’t on the table and that Hailey understands that Justin “feels hurt and confused, but she feels lost too.”
“She just needs a break.”
BABY DREAMS
Meanwhile, rumors have also been going around that Hailey is pregnant with the married couple’s first child.
Hailey and Justin tied the knot in September 2018, and the Rhode founder has expressed her desire to have children.
“I want kids so bad, but I get scared,” Hailey told The Sunday Times in 2023.
The same year, she told British GQ that motherhood was “something that’s going to come when it comes.”
Fans suspected Hailey might be pregnant after noticing her appearing to conceal a baby bump in photos.
“Baby on the way! She is pregnant!” one fan claimed in the comments of a recent Instagram post showing Hailey donning a black bodysuit.
“Yes. She’s pregnant! Check out her stomach!” said another.
“Oh my god! Baby Bieber! I love her!” wrote a third.
