AceShowbiz - While stopping by "The Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show" on Monday, June 22, Selena Gomez talked about her personal life which was affected by people and media. The 22-year-old beauty told host Elvis Duran that she had to be guarded and was dismayed by media which kept talking about old story of her.
Selena talked about the public pressure she was receiving as saying, "People are like, 'We want you to be better!'... And everybody's like, 'I want you to be healthy, I want you to be happy, I want you to be this.' And then the moment you're trying to find some sort of happiness, it's so crazy. It's not safe for anyone!"
"I have a right to say what I'm going to say," the "Come & Get It" songtress explained how she handled the situation. "If you're going to sit here and talk about my life, I have a right to say what I want and obviously I'm going to do it the way I wish to. But it is unfortunate, and you have to be guarded... I don't trust anyone..."
Staying on the same subject, the 50-year-old host also read one of Selena's Instagram posts with the "#strongisbeautiful" hashtag which expressed her frustration of scrutiny and fake news that some people and media made about her. She said that those who made the fake news were not her fans because her fans would know who she is. "If I was truly everything that people say I am, you would see it," the "Behaving Badly" star said. "It's not like I can hide anything anymore! My life is so public that I do take that into consideration. But I'm also a normal person, I'm a human being and I'm feeling things. I get sad, I get anxious, I get emotional, I get happy! Especially in my twenties, my gosh! I feel like I'm figuring out who I am and I'm constantly being... well not constantly, but I've been criticized for trying to live my life."
Selena was recently named the face of Pantene hair care product. The "#strongisbeautiful" hashtag on her Instagram post was also intended to give a hint to fans that she was to be announced as the brand's ambassador.
