Selena Gomez Gets Emotional as She Talks About Her Rehab and Struggle With Lupus
Celebrity

The 'Spring Breakers' actress shows her 'frustration and disgust' as she is asked about her rehab stint and health struggle.

AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez was asked about her stay in rehab during an interview for her cover story of GQ's newest edition. The 23-year-old singer/actress was initially reluctant to talk about her timeout from spotlight which happened following her Lupus diagnosis. "No, no, no, no, no," so she said while expressing what was described as "frustration and disgust."

According to the magazine, it took a "long" time for the "Hands to Myself" singer before she gave her answer. It's clearly hard for her to recount the experience as she said, "First off, this is something that everyone always wants to fixate on. I got diagnosed with lupus. My mom had a very public miscarriage. So I had to cancel my tour. I needed time to just be okay."

"I was going through leukemia," she added, most likely referring to chemotherapy, "and I went to two different locations for those treatments. It's really frustrating, because I'm 100 percent allowed to have that, but I think people just want to have some sort of - I understand what you're asking but I'm just saying, I don't think it really matters. My past seems to be way more fascinating for people than my future, which bums me out..."

Selena kept her health struggle private for a long time until her visit to a children's hospital. "There was this kid that wouldn't look me in the eye at all," she recalled. "And I wear my emotions on my face, as you just have witnessed. And I don't care, that's who I am. I wanted to get his attention, even though maybe it was too much."

"So I just said, 'Ask me anything you want," she went on. "And he was the first person that I told, besides my best friend and family, because he asked me, 'Have you ever dealt with anything like this?' And I said, 'I have lupus. I was in the ICU for two and a half weeks. I was in this exact same room.' And it was the first time that he looked at me."

She added, "I don't ever really like to sit and dwell on what that experience was. Was it fun? No. Is it fun to have it? No."

Another touchy subject for her was a question about her childhood. "We're easy targets," the former Disney star said about growing up in the public eyes. "Every single kid who was brought up like this is an easy target."

"It's disgusting, because it's interesting to grown adults that these kids go through weird things because they're figuring out, 'Do I like this? Do I love this? Maybe I love this person. Oh, I'm exposed to this, people are reporting my every move and this and that because of Instagram and Twitter and you can find out everything.' There's a difference between being a fan - there's a difference between that and what you have to do ... Because it's, I don't know, fun, maybe? It's like watching a car crash as you're driving past it. You want to watch it."
