I can see her racking up follows if she were super confessional or acted strange or revealed a lot. You know — the kind of behavior that lends well to gossip and makes people not being able to look away. But this could not be further from the case. Seriously, look for yourself. KL, from the car. Bieber has This seems plausible. Do you follow her? By Haley Nahman. By Beth Sacca. By Nili Blanck. By Harling Ross. By Jasmine Clarke. Search Clear Search. Next story Archive.
It was delayed, perhaps, because of ambient pressure to not alienate parts of her audience. An impossible task when you have more Instagram followers than almost every country in the world has people: When Gomez posted in protest of the abortion bans that swept the deep South in , her comment section flooded with vitriol as well as love.
Also, Gomez has been off the internet for three years—she sends photos and text to her assistant to post to Instagram and Twitter. I cried a lot during quarantine, just for the pain of everyone else. It was especially remarkable given the fact that Gomez had never voted before During election week, she was tense and terrified; she stayed up late watching the news, waiting for new batches of votes to be counted.
Gomez was born in Grand Prairie, Texas , a midsize town outside Dallas that once had a professional baseball team called the Airhogs, the kind of place where the top employers include Lockheed Martin and Walmart. Her parents were both 16 when she was born, in She was named after Selena Quintanilla, whose music both her parents loved. Her mom let her splash around in the yard during rainstorms; her dad liked to watch Friday and Bad Boys with his cherubic baby girl.
As a kid, Gomez was sensitive but fearless: A picture of her comforting another kid on the first day of pre-K made the local paper. She staged concerts in the living room and loved frilling herself up to compete in that particular Southern ritual—the beauty pageant. She ably shielded Gomez from the ever-present financial difficulties.
But I felt like we did because my mom was always doing a hundred million things just to make me happy, and we volunteered at soup kitchens on Thanksgiving; we went through my closet for Goodwill.
Three years after she wrapped her run on the show, she secured the role of Alex Russo on the Disney Channel show Wizards of Waverly Place and moved to Los Angeles with her mom.
But Alexandra Margarita Russo still radiated the essential Disney-girl quality: a spunky, unselfconscious precocity and confidence. She was 15 when paparazzi began showing up on set.
Her onscreen brothers, David Henrie and Jake Austin, felt protective of her. That is a violating feeling. I ask Gomez whether she was aware of how invasive this situation was as it was happening, or if she brushed it off in the moment.
By dint of her personality, as well as the fact that she was a young woman in the spotlight, she had to be unconditionally grateful, composed, sparkling.
Gomez is jet-lagged. She woke up at 4 a. The room is warm, and the afternoon is becoming opaque, and the superstar in front of me is giving off a soft, bruised quality. I find myself, as many fans and casual observers of Gomez have found themselves, wanting to protect her, to make her happy, to cheer her up. Gomez is so invested in preserving a sense of normalcy that she swallows, in most moments, the strange side effects of having been on camera for two-thirds of her life.
The confidence came first; then came the confidence to let it drop. In between, though, there was a non-negligible amount of chaos. At 18, when she was still filming Wizards, Gomez entered a serious relationship with a teen heartthrob, an entanglement whose off-and-on ups-and-downs were dissected constantly and voraciously until it ended in In early , in the middle of an international tour for her first solo album, Stars Dance, Gomez checked herself into a rehab facility.
If you remember, Selena took a 3-month hiatus from social media back in August This meant potentially losing out on endorsement deals and growing her massive social media status. The reason for her absence?
She took a break to focus on her health while in rehab. No doubt being as famous as she comes with intense and unrelenting demands. We love that she had the ability to recognize she needed to take a step back and focus on her health in order to move forward. Nothing is more important, and we're so happy to see someone in the spotlight unafraid to say so. Singing, acting, fashion, beauty How about being totally transparent about her battle with Lupus and how it has affected her?
Some stars choose to stay completely private and not let the public in on such things, but by sharing her experience with her fans she has raised awareness about Lupus and chronic kidney disease- which around 37 million people in the U. By teaching her young followers that sexiness isn't based on your physical image but rather how you treat others she is redefining sexy in a powerful way.
She's a Mom to 6 Rescue Pups. The singer noted that with so many dogs looking for homes, she had no other choice but to adopt from a shelter. One of them she adopted spontaneously with then-boyfriend Justin Beiber. S he spotted her dog Baylor, a husky mix, during a trip to Canada with Justin. I literally felt like he said my name. So, I had to have him. No doubt there is a lot of pressure as a public figure to tell all when it comes to your love life.
For Selena, that pressure was exponential given her ex: Justin Bieber.
