Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber unfollow each other amid Justin Bieber drama and divorce speculation
The timing of the unfollow has raised eyebrows, particularly given the history between the two. Over two years ago, Gomez and Bieber appeared to publicly end their long-standing, fan-driven feud. In March 2023, they surprised the public by following each other on Instagram after Gomez urged her fans to stop harassing Hailey. Gomez had shared that Hailey reached out to her about the online abuse she was receiving, prompting the Rare Beauty founder to call for kindness and speak out against bullying. Their temporary peace was first signaled months earlier when the two posed together at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles in October 2022.
Fans quickly noticed the recent unfollow and took to social media with reactions ranging from support to speculation. Many praised Gomez's decision as 'long overdue,' suggesting she is stepping back from unnecessary drama. Others questioned the timing, with some linking it to Justin Bieber's recent online behavior—including his alleged subtle jabs at Gomez and the fact that he recently unfollowed her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
Fueling the speculation further are ongoing rumors about marital issues between Justin and Hailey Bieber. Some fans believe Gomez may have initially followed Hailey to help deescalate public conflict, but now sees no reason to maintain a digital connection.
While neither Selena Gomez nor Hailey Bieber has publicly commented on the change, the unfollow has once again placed all three figures—Selena, Hailey, and Justin—at the center of renewed public scrutiny.

India reverses ban on Pakistani channels and celebrities' accounts
Listen to article India has lifted the ban on Pakistani YouTube channels and artists' social media accounts, allowing Indian viewers to once again access to Pakistani content. Ahad Raza Mir, Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi and Danish Taimoor are among the celebrities whose accounts have been reinstated. However, several accounts are still inaccessible to Indian users, including those of Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Wahaj Ali, Iqra Aziz, Farhan Saeed and Hania Aamir. After the April 22 shooting, which targeted tourists in Pahalgam, located in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and left 26 civilians dead, India had imposed restrictions on Pakistani YouTube channels and the social media profiles of several Pakistani actors and celebrities. Tensions between India and Pakistan further escalated in May when the Pakistan Air Force shot down six Indian jets in retaliation for missile strikes on its territory. The conflict also disrupted the release of Fawad Khan's film Abir Gulaal, starring Vaani Kapoor, with a ban. Posters featuring Pakistani stars Mahira Khan and Mawra Hocane were also removed from Bollywood movie posters on streaming platforms. Read: Instagram accounts of Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, Ali Zafar blocked in India Indian social media users confirmed that the ban has been lifted by sharing screenshots of previously blocked Pakistani channels and accounts. Not even 3 months into the ban and Pakistani channels are back, many Pakistani actresses' Insta accounts unbanned in India, reports say India vs Pakistan Asia Cup match in September 🙏🙏 — Prayag (@theprayagtiwari) July 2, 2025 Before that, Indian users attempting to view the profiles of Pakistani actors were met with a message stating: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content'. Several Indian media outlets, including India Today and Hindustan Times, also reported the lifting of the ban, confirming that access to Pakistani YouTube channels and some celebrity Instagram accounts has been restored. Earlier, Sardaar Ji 3, a Punjabi horror-comedy starring Diljit Dosanjh, became the center of controversy due to Hania Aamir's involvement. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the Film Federation of India had reportedly urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to block the film's release due to her involvement. Ahead of the film's international release, actress Neeru Bajwa reportedly unfollowed Hania on Instagram and removed all promotional content related to the movie from her profile. Many interpreted it as a response to growing criticism in India over the inclusion of a Pakistani actor, especially amid renewed nationalist sentiment following the Pahalgam attack in IIOJK.

Willie Nelson's July 4 Picnic in Austin to go on despite storm damage
The Outlaw Music Festival's 10th-anniversary concert scheduled for July 1 in El Reno, Oklahoma, has been canceled due to significant storm damage sustained during a severe weather event in Ridgedale, Missouri. However, Willie Nelson's highly anticipated Fourth of July Picnic in Austin is still expected to take place as planned. According to a post from the Outlaw Music Festival's official Instagram account, the weather event on June 29 at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena caused heavy rain and high winds that forced an evacuation. The storm left the band's equipment and several artists' instruments severely damaged and waterlogged. 'The potential damage has halted the festival production as they recover and replace what's necessary for the tour to resume,' the statement read. Refunds will be issued for the canceled July 1 performance at the Lucky Star Amphitheater in Oklahoma. Despite the setback, the festival plans to continue the tour with its next stop at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on July 4. A representative for Willie Nelson confirmed to the Austin American-Statesman on Tuesday that the Independence Day show will proceed as scheduled. Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic is an annual tradition that draws thousands to Austin and is one of the most iconic live music events in Texas. Fans can expect performances by Nelson and several other artists, celebrating Independence Day with music, food, and fireworks.
