Netizens praised Gomez for standing up for Bieber, who has allegedly been shading her for years because of the singer’s previous romantic relationship with her husband and Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber.
Meanwhile, Bieber thanked Gomez for defending her.
The model shared an Instagram story to address the “very hard” situation she was in.
“I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as she and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I,” Bieber wrote.
“The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful,” she added.
Bieber also urged netizens to be mindful of the things they post and share on social media and reminded them that love will always trample hatred and cynicism.
“We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself,” she continued. “In the end, I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity, and there is always an opportunity to meet each other with more empathy and compassion.”
