Pop star Selena Gomez will be taking a break from social media use after expressing her upset feelings about bad comments.
According to foreign media such as People, on February 25th (Korean time), pop star Selena Gomez announced through her social media account that she would take a break from SNS activities for a while.
In particular, the female celeb said in a TikTok live, “I’m going to be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly. I’m 30 and am too old for this. But I love you so much and I’ll see you guys sooner than later. I’m just gonna take a break from everything.”
Selena Gomez also added, “I’m very happy, I’m so blessed. I have the best friends and the best fans in the whole world and I just couldn’t be happier. I’m good, I love the way I am, I don’t care.”
As for the reason behind this break, People cited Selena’s reaction to a mocking gag video, which features Selena Gomez’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, his wife Hailey Bieber and Taylor Swift.
On the other hand, Selena Gomez had taken several SNS breaks in the past. In 2019, the pop star revealed that Instagram was not on her phone, since negative comments on her posts depressed her.
Then, in an Interview with Vanity Fair in early February 2023. Selena mentioned that people “get detailed” and “write paragraphs that are so specific and mean”.
In a previous TikTok live, the singer-actress also opened up about receiving body-shaming comments, saying, “Not a model, never will be. Thanks for supporting me and understanding and, if not… go away. Because honestly I don’t believe in shaming people for [their] body or anything.”
Meanwhile, Selena Gomez recently became a hot topic for enjoying a date with Drew Taggart, a member of the famous pop group The Chainsmokers.
