Selena Gomez Temporarily Steps Away From Social Media

For the second time this year, Selena Gomez is stepping away from all social media platforms, and this time around she’s doing it with a heavy heart.

According to Selena, she can no longer bear seeing the “violence and terror that’s going on in the world,” so to keep her mental health in check she made the decision to remove herself from social media for the time being.

Selena Gomez — Takes A Break From Social Media

The 31-year-old took to Instagram on Monday, October 29 to tell her 430 million followers, “I’ve been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence and terror that’s going on in the world.”

Although the “Monte Carlo” actress didn’t mention the Israel-Hamas war in her post, it’s easy to understand what her post is pointing at.

Continuing, the “Single Soon” singer wrote, “People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific. We need to protect ALL people, especially children and stop the violence for good.”

She went on to add, “I’m sorry if my words will never be enough for everyone or a hashtag. I just can’t stand by innocent people getting hurt. That’s what makes me sick. I wish I could change the world. But a post won’t.” She concluded her post with, “Love, Selena.”

This is the second time this year that Selena is taking a break from social media. The first time was back in February.

Continuing, she said, “I love who I am. And yeah, I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly. And I’m 30, I’m too old for this, so. But I love you guys so much! And I will see you guys sooner than later, I just… I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.”
