Selena Gomez is Taking Another Break from Social Media, Says: ‘I’m Too Old for This’

Selena Gomez is taking another break from Social Media!

The “Leave You to Love Me” singer announced that she was taking another break from social media in a TikTok Live clip shared by fans via Twitter on Thursday,

“I’m going to be taking a second from social media because this is a little silly. I’m 30 and am too old for this. But I love you so much and I’ll see you guys sooner than later,” she said.

“I’m just gonna take a break from everything,” she added.

 

Gomez has had a complicated relationship with social media in the past and she just returned back to the social media limelight earlier in January.

After taking several Instagram breaks over the years, Gomez revealed in 2019 that she no longer uses the app, as negative comments on her posts had left her feeling “depressed.”

During an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this month, Gomez opened up about her relationship with social media over the years — and revealed why at the time, TikTok is what she enjoyed using most.

“People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people get detailed,” she recalled. “They write paragraphs that are so specific and mean. I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety…I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.”

Gomez added, “The only thing I have on my phone is TikTok because I find it to be a little less hostile. There are wonderful things about social media—connecting with fans, and seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories. But usually, that’s filtered through [for me now]. I created a system. Everything I do I send to my assistant who posts them. As far as comments, my team will put together a few things that are encouraging.”
