Pop star Selena Gomez has posted an Instagram Live video requesting fans to "stop tearing other women down". The request comes in the wake of heavy trolling that model Hailey Bieber has been facing ever since Selena released her new single "Lose you to love me". For the uninitiated, Selena's latest song is being billed as heartbreak pop. The number is believed to have references to the stormy relationship she once shared with Hailey's husband, pop star Justin Bieber.

The 27-year-old Selena had a blow hot, blow cold affair with Justin from 2010 to 2017, after which the "Baby" hitmaker got together with Hailey, who is now his wife, reports dailymail.co.uk. Although Selena sings with gusto about how she was "replaced" within just two months, widespread trolling of Hailey following the song's release has now forced the pop star to defend the model.
