It is a well-known story that after Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up, Justin married Hailey Baldwin Bieber and their fans weren’t having it. There was chaos online from all angles, it turned out that Selena caught the most bullet from it.
The thing is that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez dated for eight solid years. Of course, you should know that already because it was very public while they were at it.
Although their relationship was an on/off one, their fans rooted for them and wished they would end up saying their “I do” to each other but unfortunately, wishes don’t always come to pass as the two broke up in early 2018.
To cut the long story short, a few months after their breakup, Justin engaged and married Hailey, leaving his fans and Selena’s fans wondering and speculating that Hailey was the reason Justin and Selena broke up.
This continued to the extent that Selena had to exit herself from social media for a while before she came back, and now, we’re about to know why she left.
Selena Gomez — Selena Shares Why She Stepped Away From Social Media
Speaking with “Vanity Fair” on February 15, the actress shared that after her breakup with the “Peaches” singer, she contemplated giving her social media passwords and her assistant.
“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] else,” said the “Wizard Of Waverley Palace” actress.
She continued, “There’d be thousands of really nice comments, but my mind goes straight to the mean one. People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, Whatever. But these people get detailed.”
“They write paragraphs that are so specific and mean. I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety…I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.”
Selena Gomez — How Selena Returned To Social Media
Selena had since returned to the world of social media but, not every social media platform is suitable for the star of “Only Murders In The Building.” She revealed that she’s on TikTok only.
“The only thing I have on my phone is TikTok because I find it to be a little less hostile. There are wonderful things about social media—connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories. But usually that’s filtered through [for me now]. Everything I do I send to my assistant who posts them. As far as comments, my team will put together a few things that are encouraging.” said Selena.
Meanwhile, amid all the brouhaha surrounding Hailey’s marriage, Hailey only came out once to clear the air that she wasn’t the reason for Justin and Selena’s breakup.
In a last year’s appearance at the “Call Her Daddy podcast” on September 28, the model said, “I can say period point blank I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That’s the end of it. And I had been involved with him since I was 18.”
