[Mark-x]

   Hailey Baldwin has opened up about social media critics that have looked to undermine her marriage to Justin Bieber and has taken aim at 'dumb followers' who try to live their lives through celebrities.

In a week in which 22-year-old Hailey has been urged to divorce her new husband, for the sake of his mental health, she has hit out at Justin's fans, who "really want to see you fail, for whatever reason."

Speaking to Cosmopolitan , Hailey has opened up about the stresses of being married to 25-year-old Justin, saying: "I don't know if it's because they want to be able to say, ‘I told you so' or because they want to be right, I don't really know what the idea is behind trying to tear somebody's relationship down, or person down, whatever it may be."

Hailey said that their feeling of 'owning' Justin has led them to being nasty to her in comments.

She continued: "The problem too is kids become possessive over people and feel like if they think they're hurt, they feel hurt for them and they're hurt too, or whatever it is.

"They just think they know these people who are famous because their life is so exposed.
Hailey said: "What's really weird to me is they create scenarios in their head of what they think is happening or what they think should happen, and I'm just like, ‘This is just so dumb. It's so dumb.'"

Trying to cope with the abuse had led to Hailey to develop a coping mechanism, so that it doesn't "affect your soul."

She continued: "I feel like if you don't want it to get to you, then don't read it and allow it to affect your soul."

This is easier said than done and Hailey explained: "You still care to a certain extent. You really have to train your brain to be like, ‘Okay, why do I even care? I don't know these people, they don't know me, they're not a part of my life or my relationship.'"
