Selena Gomez has been open about her struggles.
While Gomez appears to have her work life under control, the "Lose You to Love Me" singer can't seem to shake constant criticism from social media users – who mocked the 31-year-old on Wednesday for frequently announcing a break from Instagram and similar apps before returning shortly after.
This time around, Gomez's declaration came after she landed herself in headlines for whispering to her best friend Taylor Swift and their other gal pal Keleigh Teller during the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

Internet sleuths reading the A-listers lips were convinced Gomez had informed her friends that she'd asked Timothée Chalamet for a photo, but his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, said "no," however, the Rare Beaty founder later informed everyone this was not the case.
"Noooooo, I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that's anyone['s] business," the Spring Breakers actress revealed after Chalamet, whom she starred alongside in the 2019 romantic comedy A Rainy Day in New York with, insisted there was no "beef" and that everything was "all good."
