“For a while, I felt like an object,” Beauty said. “It felt dirty for a long time.”
When she was a teenager starring in Wizards Of Waverly Place, she then started dating Justin Bieber (they were out from 2011 to 2018) and released songs like the suggestive Come & Get It.
In 2019 he told WSJ magazine that the lyrics to the 2013 Come & Get It theme didn’t look right. He was only 20 years old when he made the record.
She started very young: inside she touched how she felt sexualized at an early age. Seen in 2012
“That’s not my personality,” he admitted. “The lyrics are,‘ When you’re ready, come get her. ’I’d never say that!
And in 2020 he told Allure that he felt he had to play the role of a mermaid when he was young.
“I just did things that really weren’t me. There was pressure to look more adult on my record, Revival. [I felt] the need to show the skin … I really don’t think it was [that] person, “she said; the album came out in 2015 when she was 23 years old.
A great start: in 2012 he starred in Spring Breakers; he was only 19 when he made the film, seen with Ashley Benson, who left
He also talked about the pressure to look perfect and the role social media plays.
In 2017 he deleted his Instagram account from his phone. Now he says this has helped him with his mental health: “I don’t have him on the phone, so there’s no temptation. Suddenly I had to learn to be with myself.”
This was “annoying,” because in the past I could spend hours looking at other people’s lives. I would find myself almost two years in someone’s food and then I would realize, “I don’t even know that person!” Now I have information in the right way.When my friends have something to talk about, they call me and say, “Oh, I did this.” They don’t say, “Wait, have you seen my message?”
Great romance: in 2011 he started dating Justin Bieber; seen in 2012 in Los Angeles
People thought it was a wild party animal. But he wasn’t far from it: the star was diagnosed with Lupus in 2014 and had to take time to heal.
Some thought he was going to be rehabilitated for substance abuse.
I don’t even know what they really thought he was doing: drugs, alcohol, running, partying. The narration was so nasty, “the star added.
Also in the issue the mermaid talked about how she has had fight after fight that should have brought her down.
“My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, suffering very public heart breaks, all of that was honestly what should have been shot down,” Selena told Carina Chocano.

Sometimes it was overwhelming.
‘Every time I went through something, I wondered, what else? What else will I have to deal with? added the red carpet favorite.
And then he realized there was a reason for his pain: “You’re going to help people. That’s what moved me forward. It could have been a time when I wasn’t strong enough and would have done something to make me wrong, ”he shared.
About what she wants to be remembered and how this has changed her approach: she wondered, “What is the purpose of this?” Visiting children in hospital wards, getting fans to come to her to tell her how Lose You to Love Me has helped them divorce — these things meant more to her than saying, posting a random image of your nails.
“I’m like” I have to do something [more]. After I’m gone, I want people to remember me from my heart. Everything I’m attached to has a beneficial aspect. If nothing good comes out of it, I won’t. I don’t need money, I need people who want to fight with me.
Too much to take: sometimes it was overwhelming. ‘Every time I went through something, I wondered, what else? What else will I have to deal with? added the red carpet favorite

And he will never stop making music.
I’m not saying I want a Grammy. I just feel like I’m doing the best I can, and it’s all about me. Sometimes that can really happen to me. ”
The music, unlike the performance, is so personal that it says, “You’re pouring.”
