The tweets are purely based on fan opinion and are not backed up by any evidence or indication from the couple themselves. Jenner has denied the accusations, and Gomez stepped in herself to deem fan comments "unnecessary," but this hasn't stopped fans claiming on Twitter that they believe Justin and Hailey Bieber could be set to divorce. Gomez recently announced that she is stepping back from social media, a decision some fans partly attributed to an incident which saw fans accuse Kylie Jenner and Hailey of "shading" the "Wolves" singer on Instagram.

The most interesting takeaway from this comic is that it could easily stand on its own without the underpinnings of "Secret Wars."
