When she was a Baldwin it was bad, and now that she’s a Bieber it’s even worse.

Hailey Baldwin married Justin Bieber on September 14, 2018. People Magazine reported that the 24-year-old Canadian pop star and 21-year-old model wed unexpectedly at the courthouse in New York City. A source told People, “They went ahead and did it without listening to anyone.”

Hailey Baldwin immediately disputed this information by posting on her Twitter account that it wasn’t true.

But it was true.

When she was caught in the lie, she immediately deleted the tweet.

She never apologized for the deception and she never explained the lie.

She was only 21 when she was married, and so to some degree it’s understandable. But if you think you’re old enough to get married and make that kind of commitment, shouldn’t you be mature enough to admit your tweet was incorrect and inaccurate?

She’s been married now for over three years, and yet she’s never addressed this in any of the interviews she’s done, and she’s done many. She’s had so many chances to tell people that she wanted to keep it a secret, or to explain it however she wanted to, but instead she has ignored that she lied and then when caught she deleted the evidence.

I think this says a lot about her character. First and foremost, it shows she’s okay to deceive people and yet she talks about being a Christian and how important being a Christian is to her. Not only did she delete the tweet, but eventually there was another incident and after that she deleted her Twitter account entirely. She claimed in an interview that Twitter was toxic. She views it as toxic because she doesn’t like reading the truth about who she really is on Twitter. She was previously called out on Twitter not just for the lie about her marriage, but also for racist tweets.

Her claims that Twitter is toxic are interesting because if you examine her criticism, what she views as toxic is actually being called out for her bad behaviour. Criticism isn’t toxic when it is warranted and for some it can be seen as an opportunity to say you’re sorry and correct the situation. She doesn’t want to be accountable, that’s clear. In fact, now that’s become Hailey Bieber she has limited comments on her Instagram so that she only received comments from people that she follows. She can avoid criticism and all accountability that way.

She may be a successful model, and because of who she married she is in more demand than ever, but she’s clearly a terrible role model.
