Hailey Bieber faced backlash from celebrities after releasing a new product. The Rhode Skin phone case she promoted stirred controversy on social media.
Rhode Skin introduces a new phone case featuring a built-in lip gloss holder etched on the back. Dubbed the “lip case,” it’s designed for iPhone 14 or 15 Pro/Pro Max models, available for $35.00 on the brand’s website.
Pop Crave X (formerly Twitter) shared a comparison image of Hailey Bieber modeling the case and a product photo, announcing its release on February 27.
Numerous comments under the tweet criticized the upcoming launch, alleging Hailey’s intention for a money grab.
One X user wrote:
“Capitalism strikes again. On top of the case being super ugly, why would anyone want their lip balm on the back of their phone?
Tryna fix a problem that doesn’t even exist. And “viral” is a HUGE reach.”
A second person on the platform sarcastically asked:
“Why is this a necessity?”
