Over the years, Selena Gomez has been sarcastically built her artistic career on the sympathy of the public, turning herself into a victim in everything.

Selena Gomez is considered the “queen of tricks” of Hollywood, with controversial behavior and statements. Netizens once ridiculed that Selena Gomez built her artistic career on sympathy, making people feel bad because of what the singer went through and especially always showing herself as a victim. After years of being sarcastic and criticized by the audience, recently, Selena Gomez affirmed that she did not try to play the victim as many people say.

“I see a lot of people misinterpreting me for sharing the difficulties I went through with being weak and being a victim. I don’t like this perception and way of thinking. I am not a victim. I was just being honest with myself, thinking what I was saying, and then being labeled as not very good,” Selena Gomez shared at the Nexus Summit event.

The incident caused Selena Gomez to be ridiculed by the public for trying to appear hurt, playing the victim mainly related to Justin Bieber. Since breaking up with the singer born in 1994, Selena Gomez has often expressed her feelings of distress because of the love affair. At the peak of 2020, Selena declared that she thought she was a victim in love, having been emotionally abused while dating Justin Bieber. The singer said she had to do psychological therapy after experiencing a problematic affair with her ex-boyfriend.

“The psychology of seeing yourself as a victim is very dangerous. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, but I felt like I was a victim of emotional abuse. I have to grow up to make a choice. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about that love. I was very strong to get out of the negative affair as elegantly as possible,” Selena Gomez shared about breaking up with Justin Bieber.

Although she declared that she “didn’t want to spend the rest of her life talking about her love affair with Justin Bieber”, Selena Gomez still went to the media to tell the story. In 2022, Selena Gomez frankly shared that her breakup with Justin Bieber was “the best thing that ever happened”. Or in an interview with Fast Company in 2023, the singer said that breaking up with Justin Bieber made her quit using social networks.

In addition, Selena Gomez has closed and then reopened her Instagram account many times. All the reasons given were “afraid of reading toxic comments”, making her depression more serious. But then shortly after, the female singer returned to this platform. Even the audience found out that Selena Gomez was lying. She once claimed that the Instagram application was not available on her phone but still used the account of more than 428 million followers to respond to bad rumors online. Netizens expressed their disgust because this is not the first time they have witnessed Gomez acting “one way, one way”.

Not only contradictory in her statements, Gomez was also hated by the public for being ingrateful to Francia Raisa – who once defied the danger of donating a kidney to her. Francia Raisa saved her life, but Selena Gomez insisted in the media that she “only has Taylor Swift as a close friend in the entertainment industry”. After this statement, Selena Gomez was suspended by Raisa, receiving a wave of fierce criticism. The female singer of Lose You to Love Me had to apologize and try to heal Francia Raisa for many years.
