Did Stephen Baldwin Go ‘Ballistic’ At Justin Bieber Over Hailey Baldwin’s ‘Hickey’?
Another day, another Justin Bieber clickbait story.
The latest pits Bieber against a supposedly raging Stephen Baldwin, and apparently it’s all over his daughter —- Hailey Baldwin. The Hollywood actor has apparently gone “ballistic” over a “hickey” that the Canadian singer allegedly gave the blonde model.
That is, if you believe The National Enquirer. An outlet that degraded itself to comedic fare during the 80s, and still resolutely follows that trajectory.
Bearing in mind that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have repeatedly stated that they are friends and are not dating each other, let’s unwrap the publication’s story.
The rag claims an [imaginary] source revealed Stephen Baldwin is gunning for the “Where Are U Now” singer after finding out about Hailey’s alleged love bite.
“That hickey made him go ballistic and he’s promised to straighten Justin out the next time he sees him,” an alleged insider trills.
Hailey previously took to Twitter in May to address a false hickey claim alleged by a media website. At the time, the model tweeted, “Gonna bring up the ‘hickey’ thing once and once only, it’s not a hickey it’s a bug bite in a very unfortunate spot that I itched endlessly.”
Fast forward to now, according to The National Enquirer, Baldwin Sr. has the Biebs on his rage radar for other reasons too.
“Justin treated Hailey like crap when they went off to Miami in June,” an alleged informant told the outlet.
It’s an odd quote, and not just because it’s fake. But, because photographs that surfaced after Bieber and Hailey’s church-related trip to Miami evidently showed the pair enjoying each other’s company and having a blast.
The longtime pals visited Miami last month with Pastor Carl Lentz and his wife Laura from Hillsong church’s New York City location, and Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr., to attend events hosted by the Trinity Church and youth-oriented The Rendezvous organization.
During the trip, the Biebs and Hailey were seen jet-skiing, hanging out with Justin’s 5-year-old brother Jaxon, and even being tactile.
However, according to Gossip Extra — a local media outlet in Miami, whose photographer observed some of the superstar and model’s interactions —- the duo came across as just friends.
The rumormill’s ceaseless attempts to match Bieber up with any female he happens to be seen with, previously led to Hailey and mutual model pal, Kendall Jenner, publicly denying that chatter. Kendall addressed inaccurate dating claims during a November interview with Nightline.
A month later, Hailey did the same with E! News, while attending the Ridley Scott-directed Exodus premiere in New York City.
Explaining that she and Bieber were childhood friends, Hailey said, “I’ve known him since I was so young —- since I was like 13 —- and we’ve just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close and there’s nothing more to it than that.”
All of which should answer any lingering questions as to whether The National Enquirer’s claims about Justin Bieber, Stephen and Hailey Baldwin, are credible.
