Fans of the former Disney star were shocked when they found out that Selena Gomez went to rehab. The young singer secretly entered a rehabilitation center for two weeks. That happened a few months ago, but she remained quiet about it. However, her representative said that it her rehab stint had nothing to do with addiction.
The 21-year old actress finally broke her silence last Wednesday at the We Day event held in California. The event is geared to inspire youth to make a difference in this world. Selena Gomez was invited to give a speech and this was the perfect opportunity for her to open up about what she has gone through.
Celebrities who started young usually end up having a miserable life. Look at what happened to Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan. So hearing Selena Gomez on rehab is not that surprising anymore. But it is sad that she may end up just like the ladies I've mentioned.
The hitmaker said during her speech, "I'm surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me and some of them have and others haven't. They pressure me: 'You gotta be sexy, you gotta be cute, you gotta be nice, you gotta be all these things.'" Selena added,"They tell me what to wear, how to look, what I should say, how I should be."
The Monte Carlo star finally revealed to everyone how fame has finally take its toll on her. She continued her story and said, "Until recently I had given in to that pressure; I lost sight of who I was. I listened to opinions of people and I tried to change who I am because I thought others would accept me for it. And I realised I don't know how to be anything but myself."
Now we all know the reason why she entered the rehab, but In Touch recently reported that Selena has gone back to drinking. An eyewitness said, "They didn't order food. They just kept ordering rounds of drinks and going out to smoke cigarettes. They definitely seemed drunk."
Oh well, I just hope we won't see Selena Gomez back in rehab.
