Selena Gomez on social media

In a recent interview for Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Cover 2023, Selena opened up about dealing with online hate during one of her breakups. Explaining why she handed out her social media accounts to be handled by assistants, she said, “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. There’d be thousands of really nice comments, but my mind goes straight to the mean one.”

 

Selena also shared that although she did not care about people calling her ‘ugly’ or ‘stupid’, they tended to get extremely ‘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,” she said.

The Only Murders in the Building alum said that the one social media app she has on her phone is TikTok as she finds it ‘a little less hostile’.
