The beauty world exploded this week. Wild rumors swirled about Hailey Bieber’s massive Rhode sale. Whispers connected her billion-dollar windfall to Justin’s alleged debt crisis. The internet buzzed with speculation about marital money moves and celebrity financial entanglements.
Reports claimed Justin Bieber was playing the waiting game. Sources alleged he was stalling his $31.5 million settlement with Scooter Braun’s company. The strategy? Wait for Hailey’s Rhode beauty empire sale to close first. Then use her payout to clear his massive debt.
Hailey Bieber Fires Back at Claims Her Billion-Dollar Deal Will Bail Out Husband’s Financial Drama
Hailey Bieber shattered the narrative with fierce precision. Her representatives delivered a crystal-clear message to Us Weekly on Friday. “The historic sale of Rhode is a huge accomplishment for Hailey and is completely separate from her husband and his business affairs,” the statement declared. The beauty mogul was drawing a hard line in the sand. Her business empire belongs to her alone.

The controversy erupted after explosive TMZ reports surfaced Thursday. Justin Bieber will not pay his multi-million-dollar debt to Scooter Braun’s former company immediately. He will not have to ante up until money from the sale of his wife’s Rhode beauty company hits their bank account, sources allegedly revealed. The timing raised eyebrows across Hollywood. Why would Justin’s payment schedule align perfectly with Hailey’s business deal?
The debt drama traces back to Justin’s cancelled Justice World Tour in 2022. Justin reportedly racked up the multimillion-dollar debt to Braun’s company, Hybe, after the cancellation of his Justice World Tour in 2022. Braun’s company allegedly covered massive costs when Justin pulled the plug. The financial fallout created a tangled web of obligations and settlements that followed the pop star for years.
Hailey’s Rhode empire commanded respect long before these rumors surfaced. The skincare brand built from scratch attracted e.l.f Beauty’s attention earlier this year. The $1 billion acquisition deal positioned Hailey as one of beauty’s most successful entrepreneurs. Her success story stands independently of any celebrity marriage drama. The mogul refuses to let speculation diminish her hard-earned triumph in the competitive beauty industry.
