Gomez recalled that she started seeing the negative effects of being on Instagram and the like shortly after her breakup with Bieber. The former lovers are undoubtedly a power couple who conquered Hollywood for seven years – from 2011 to 2018.
At the time, he was also recovering from his kidney transplant, and became sensitive to the toxicity that was rampant on social media. “I was just heartbroken. I don’t need to see what everyone else is doing,” he said when speaking to Fast Company.
She continued, “Then there were moments of not feeling positive about my appearance because of what I saw on Instagram. Wow, I wish my body looked like that. As a result, she decided she was done with it, handed her password to her assistant and logged out come out
However, that doesn’t mean that his hiatus from this platform saves him from the wrath of the trolls. He recalled the famous incident in 2018 when a paparazzi photo of Gomez in a bikini on a boat in Australia was leaked.
The former child star has put on a lot of weight and her surgery scars are evident, leading to statements that put her body down. Gomez shared that people come for her because she no longer “has the body of a teenager.”

It was made even more clear to her during a fitting for a fashion magazine where “there was no appropriate sample size, and that would make me feel embarrassed.” Never one to back down, the “Only Murders In Building” actress decided to end her Instagram hiatus to send a powerful message.
“The beauty myth- an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless cycle of despair, self-consciousness and self-loathing as she tries to meet society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty. I choose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone. Wind in his sails. ??,” he wrote in a post that got over 3 million likes.
Gomez Is Afraid To Discuss Her Health Challenges With Her Fans
Despite the multi-talented pop icon’s love-hate relationship with social media, she credits it for giving her the space to be real with her fans about the health of the clock.
You may remember that during a 2020 Instagram live broadcast with her friend, Miley Cyrus, Gomez shocked the world with her diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
However, the “Wizards of Waverly places” alumna admitted it was not an easy thing to do, especially because she was afraid of what her fans would think. I grew up a people pleaser,” explained Gomez. “I had a responsibility at a very young age—young people looked up to me. I don’t know who I am. Having that responsibility will make me walk on eggshells a lot.”

He added, “I thought maybe it would be damaging to tell people who I am. It’s starting to become a threat that scares me. Well, if you’re not right, then you can’t work.”
However, looking back at the pivotal moment he believes changed his life, the 31-year-old admitted it was a “very difficult season.” In his words:
“It was my high and low time, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I want to cancel things. It’s just a tortured feeling. That’s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just, ‘Oh, okay, I feel a little relieved, I understand a little more.
Gomez has since committed to her message of removing the stigma from mental illness, using her resources, time and influence.
