Selena Gomez is considered the “trick queen” of Hollywood, with controversial behavior and statements. Netizens once mocked that Selena Gomez built her artistic career based on sympathy, making people feel bad for what the singer went through and especially always presenting herself as a victim. After many years of being ridiculed and criticized by the audience, Selena Gomez recently spoke out to confirm that she did not try to play the victim role as many people said.

“I feel like many people are misinterpreting my sharing of the difficulties I’ve been through as appearing weak and becoming a victim. I don’t like this perception and way of thinking. I’m not a victim. I’m not a victim. Just be honest with yourself, say what you think and then get labeled with that not-so-good label,” Selena Gomez shared at the Nexus Summit event.

The incident that caused Selena Gomez to be ridiculed by the public that she tried to appear hurt, playing the victim role was mainly related to Justin Bieber. Since breaking up with the singer born in 1994, Selena Gomez has often expressed her painful feelings because of her love life. At the peak of 2020, Selena announced that she thought she was a victim in love, having been emotionally abused when dating Justin Bieber. The female singer said she had to undergo psychotherapy after going through a problematic relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

“ The victim mentality is very dangerous. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but I feel like I’m a victim of emotional abuse. I have to be mature enough to make choices. I don’t I want to spend the rest of my life talking about that love. I was very strong to escape the negative love affair as elegantly as possible,” Selena Gomez shared about breaking up with Justin Bieber.

Even though she declared that she “didn’t want to spend the rest of her life talking about her love affair with Justin Bieber”, Selena Gomez later went to the media to talk about it. In 2022, Selena Gomez frankly shared that her breakup with Justin Bieber was “the best thing that ever happened”. In an interview with Fast Company in 2023, the female singer said that breaking up with Justin Bieber made her quit using social networks.

After many years of breaking up and both having their own happiness, Selena Gomez still went to the media to talk about her old love story with Justin Bieber.

In addition, Selena Gomez has closed and then reopened her Instagram account many times. All the reasons given were “fear of reading toxic comments”, making her depression more serious. But a short time later, the female singer returned to this platform. The audience even discovered that Selena Gomez lied. She once declared that she did not have the Instagram app available on her phone, but still used her account of more than 428 million followers to respond to bad rumors online. Netizens expressed their disappointment because this is not the first time they have seen Gomez act “say one thing, do another”.

Declaring that she would stop social media for fear of reading toxic comments, but after only closing her account for a few days, Selena Gomez is back on Instagram.

Not only is there a contradiction in statements, Gomez is also hated by the public for being ungrateful to Francia Raisa – the person who once braved the danger to donate her kidney. Although her life was saved by Francia Raisa, Selena Gomez affirmed in the media that she “only has Taylor Swift as a close friend in the entertainment industry” . After this statement, Selena Gomez was suspended from playing by Raisa, receiving a wave of fierce criticism. The Lose You to Love Me singer had to apologize and try to reconcile with Francia Raisa for many years.
