The View is the latest to weigh in on the alleged drama between Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner — and let’s just say they are firmly Team Selena.
The feud — which began after Jenner and Bieber made posts seemingly mocking Gomez’s eyebrows — resulted in The Kardashians star losing nearly 1 million followers on Instagram, while Gomez gained nearly 8 million.
Alyssa Farah Griffin — who has never shied away from her love of pop culture — revealed she was “so invested” in the messy exchange.
“The internet is not always what you think, so I’m gonna believe Selena Gomez although I’m always Team Selena,” she said. “But it did seem like they were ganging up on her. They posted something mocking her and it was mean-spirited.”
Griffin went on to point out that Gomez “uses her platform as the most-followed woman on social media for good causes,” citing her body positivity and showing herself with no makeup.
“Not a dig at Kylie Jenner, the second most-followed, but it’s a lot more just like, thirst traps and sort of like, ‘Come to my page and maybe someday you can look this good if you have enough money to buy it,’” Griffin added.
When the audience clapped for her statement, the former White House staffer said, “I’m sorry, that was shady! I just love Selena Gomez,” to which Joy Behar quipped, “Wow. That was a mean-girl remark right there.”
Later on in the segment, Sunny Hostin noted that “mean girls do exist,” as she recited the love-triangle history between Gomez, Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber.
“The little post that they did was a shade post. And I think that [Selena] took the high road and she didn’t meet their energy with her energy. And that’s a wonderful thing to do,” Hostin said. “But I’m sure it was painful to see it and women need to stop being mean to each other.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
