  • Hailey Bieber apologized to former restaurant hostess Julia Carolan, who said that the model was "not nice" to her in a TikTok video about her celebrity encounters at the "fancy Manhattan restaurant" she worked at.
  • In the comments, Bieber wrote, "Just came across this video, and wanted to say so sorry if I've ever given you bad vibes or a bad attitude," adding, "Hate hearing that was your experience with me but glad u called me out so I can do better!!"
  • "We love an accountability queen," Carolan responded. "thanks sm for taking the time to apologize."

When former restaurant hostess Julia Carolan made a TikTok video about her celebrity encounters at the "fancy Manhattan restaurant" she used to work at, Hailey Bieber didn't exactly get a glowing review. "This is gonna be controversial," Carolan said."I've met her a handful of times and every time she was not nice. I really wanna like her but I have to give her like a 3.5 out of 10. Sorry!" (Some other celebrities Carolan rated: Gigi and Bella Hadid, who she scored 10/10 for being "super polite and friendly with staff," and Kylie Jenner, who got 2/10 for reportedly tipping "$20 on a $500 dinner bill.")

Bieber spotted the video—and, evidently, was horrified. "Just came across this video, and wanted to say so sorry if I've ever given you bad vibes or a bad attitude," she commented, as E! reports. "That's not ever my intention!"

"Hate hearing that was your experience with me but glad u called me out so I can do better!! Hopefully we meet again so I can apologize in person," Bieber continued. And Carolan accepted her apology: "Hi Hailey! We love an accountability queen," she replied. "thanks sm for taking the time to apologize—I hope we can meet again one day and start over. x." A pleasant resolution!

By the way, Carolan uploaded a second video about her celebrity experiences—and, in news that will not surprise the Beyhive, Beyoncé earned a rating of "10000000/10." Carolan recounted, "When she left, she made sure to look at me, give me a big smile and say thank you. She is beautiful." Our queen!
