It was a bit out of the norm for Pattie Mallette to completely ignore Hailey Bieber’s post because she has gushed about her daughter-in-law in the past. In 2019, Mallette posted an Instagram photo of Hailey kissing her cheek and captioned the image, “What a gift!” This wouldn’t be the last time she would share something about Hailey on social media, either.
In 2022, Mallette posted how strong she thought Hailey was after the Rhode Skin founder gave an update on her health in a YouTube video detailing a health scare she had suffered. In the video, Hailey shared, “The right side of my face started drooping. I couldn’t get a sentence out. Everything was coming out, not even jumbled, just like, couldn’t get the words out.” Hailey thought she was having a stroke, but when doctors did testing, it was revealed to be a blood clot that traveled to her brain.
After dropping the video, Mallette shared encouraging words for her daughter-in-law on social media. She said, “Grateful you are recovering well. God is good. Thank you for sharing your story. So brave. I love you so much @haileybieber.” It seemed like the two were closer than ever, but things can change over time, and fans are convinced Mallette may harbor some ill will toward Hailey, especially as she and Justin Bieber have been at the center of breakup rumors.
