Francesca Farago just dropped a bombshell about the social media hate campaign allegedly targeting Hailey Bieber.
On April 7, 2025, the Too Hot To Handle star took to her official Snapchat to share a now-viral video where she spoke candidly about a trending TikTok narrative that mocks Hailey. According to Farago, influencers are incentivized to spread negativity about Mrs. Bieber.
Referencing the viral ‘stalker’ trend, Francesca explained how TikTokers have been joking that Hailey pursued Justin Bieber long before they got together, portraying her as a manipulative fan. She said,
“There’s this trend going on right now being like… when my boyfriend thinks we met organically and then it’s like the girl slides to a photo of Hailey laughing, and it’s supposed to mean like that you’re the stalker. I don’t know if you guys have seen it, but it’s basically everyone calling themselves Hailey Bieber because they stalked their man or whatever…”
She then went on to suggest there may be a more sinister motive behind the posts. While keeping the identities of those potentially involved under wraps, she implied that creators may be getting paid to participate. Francesca shared,
“The person who started the trend or who owns the song that’s on the trend will pay creators to do that trend and to use that song. So, either whoever created the song or someone else that wants to push a narrative, who knows, is paying creators to do that trend”.

Francesca Says She Was Offered Money To Join Anti-Hailey Trend
The influencer wrapped up her video by claiming that her comments weren’t just speculation. She was allegedly approached to take part in the viral Hailey hate trend herself.
According to Farago, she was offered a significant payout to jump on the bandwagon, but turned it down due to how toxic the trend felt. She shared,
“I just got offered to do it and they offered me a decent amount of money. I was like, No! I don’t know, maybe I’m just being dramatic. But I feel like just because she’s a new mom, it’s so mean to like have this much hate on her”.
Just hours after Francesca’s candid confession, many users slammed the reality star, accusing her of spreading misinformation and lying to protect the Rhode Skin founder.
The backlash prompted Farago to address the criticism in a follow-up Snapchat post, where she specifically called out fans of Justin Bieber’s ex, Selena Gomez. Selena and Hailey have long been the subject of rumored tension, and Francesca didn’t hold back when defending herself.
In her message, she wrote,
“Anytime I have an opinion myself I get soooo much hate from the side that disagrees with me. And Selena fans are another breed so I didn’t wanna open myself to more hate because I already get SO much…”

The now-infamous trend appears to have stemmed from a viral YouTube video titled, Hailey Bieber’s Dangerous Decade-Long Obsession.
The video reignited long-standing fan theories that Hailey was obsessed with Justin, and even his on-and-off relationship with Selena, from as early as 2010 through 2018. It included alleged evidence of Hailey frequently being in the background of Justin’s life, long before they officially dated.
Additionally, it resurfaced controversial incidents where the model was accused of bullying the Rare Beauty founder publicly, including the 2023 eyebrow drama, where she and Kylie Jenner appeared to mock Gomez’s over-laminated brows online.
However, in March 2025, reports surfaced that Hailey was exploring legal action against the creator of the video for spreading a false narrative. As of now, no official legal proceedings have been initiated.
Francesca Farago’s Confession Sparks Mixed Reactions Online
Francesca’s claims have sparked a heated debate across social media, with fans divided over her message. While some praised the reality star for speaking out and standing by Hailey, others questioned her credibility.
Some supporters rallied behind Francesca with comments that read,
“Hailey is the real victim and yet she’s nice to not sue them”.
“That is obvious and I believe it’s from a specific person’s team”.
On the flip side, critics accused Farago of spreading misinformation and attempting to stir sympathy for Hailey without providing solid evidence. They wrote,
“This is obviously PR, if she had proof she would have just said it! This lady is trying to get sympathy for Hailey”.
“The OG mean girl is telling Y’all this! Things have definitely gone too far”.
“No one is paying them. It’s been confirmed by the influencers. Francesca has extensive ties to Hailey. Why is Hailey paying for a makeshift hate train?”
Whether Francesca Farago’s claims hold weight or not, one thing’s for sure, when it comes to Hailey Bieber, the internet never stays quiet.
As the drama unfolds, fans are left questioning what’s real and what’s just part of the algorithm.
