Selena Gomez is begging her fans to stop sending Hailey Bieber death threats after the model reached out to the singer about online hate amid their ongoing feud.

"Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity," Gomez wrote in an Instagram Story statement Friday.

The actress, 30, added that "no one" should experience "hate or bullying" and she doesn't "stand for" it.

"I've always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop," Gomez concluded with a heart emoji.

Bieber has been getting bombarded with hateful messages online since her rumored feud with the Rare Beauty founder bubbled up in February.

Accusations started flying when the model, 26, posted a since-deleted TikTok appearing to shade Gomez.

Later that month, Hailey and pal Kylie Jenner were accused of making fun of Gomez's eyebrows via Instagram.

The internet was set ablaze with unfounded theories, with trolls claiming Bieber was trying to steal the "Only Murders in the Building" star's life.

Gomez promptly announced she was taking a hiatus from Instagram just as she became the most-followed woman on the app.

Fans also accused Hailey's husband, Justin Bieber, of dissing Gomez, his ex-girlfriend, at his birthday party, though a source exclusively denied the claims to Page Six.

Justin was last spotted looking "tormented" as he accompanied his wife to the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars Party earlier this month. The "Peaches" singer joined Hailey inside the bash after she walked the red carpet by herself.

Gomez has since made her return to social media and took to TikTok last week to share that she's looking for a guy to have a crush on.

Gomez has been romantically linked to several famous men, most recently The Chainsmokers members Drew Taggart.

The former Disney Channel star famously dated Justin on and off for nearly eight years before they broke up for good in 2018. Just months after their romance came to an end, Justin, 29, proposed to Hailey, and they were married later that year.

Rumors of Gomez and Hailey's rivalry have continued to swirl since.

However, Hailey denied having any malice towards the "Wolves" singer in a September 2022 "Call Her Daddy" podcast episode.

She also addressed the barrage of unwarranted criticism she receives from Gomez's fanbase over the whole ordeal.

"I'm minding my business. I don't do anything, I don't say anything. Leave me alone, please," Hailey said, claiming she and Gomez had made amends.

The ladies even signaled peace when they posed for a photo together at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures' second annual gala the following month.
