The popular singer and actress Selena Gomez, who has more than 350 million followers on Instagram, stayed away from social networks for more than five years. And if she wants to post something, she just logs in on her friend’s phone.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the ‘Only Murders In The Building’ actress finally opened up about her decision to step away from social media.
“I never had the chance to go to a real high school,” the singer told Vanity Fair. “The world was my high school for a long time and I started getting a flood of information that I didn’t want.”
“I went through a hard time in a breakup, and I didn’t want to see any of the [feedback] – not necessarily about the relationship, but the opinions of me versus [someone] others.” Gomez didn’t speak openly about her breakup with Justin Bieber, but it’s not hard to understand.
“People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people are detailed,” added Selena. “They write paragraphs that are so specific and petty. She would be crying constantly. She constantly had anxiety… she couldn’t take it anymore. It was a waste of time.
Selena had to give control of her social media accounts to someone else, including Twitter and Instagram, but she decided to stick with TikTok because she finds the app “a little less hostile.”
On the work front, Selena will next be seen in the third season of Only Murders In The Building’, the crime drama Emilia Perez.
