“To be frank with you, I actually was going through a really difficult time when they started production,” the singer said. Soon after production began, Selena checked into rehab, as RadarOnline.com exclusively first reported back in September.
But the time away gave Selena new insight into her show. “I actually met a ton of kids in this place that were talking about issues that these characters are experiencing,” she said.
