What could've pushed Selena Gomez into an Insta unfollowing spree?

The source talked to PEOPLE directly and talked about the recent unfollows. The source made it clear that there is drama surrounding the unfollows but fans did notice something interesting. Selena unfollowed so many celebrities but some celebrities are still on her follow list. Like Dua Lipa who was unfollowed by Selena but is still on her follow list.

There are also serious talks around Selena unfollowing Zayn Malik as there were rumors of a romantic relationship between them but Selena did clear up the rumors. In a hilarious Tik Tok, she shared her relationship status by screaming at the soccer players “I’m single!”. She didn’t just stop there she added “I’m just a little high maintenance. But I’ll love you sooooo much.” The comments on the Tik Tok were equally hilarious whereas Gomez also wrote, “The struggling man lol.”

It’s no secret that the singer and social media had a healthy relationship. It’s very normal social media today has an unhealthy grasp over our lives. We all feel the need to be validated on social media. And that might be the reason why the singer thought limiting her time online would be healthier. It’s the negativity that gets to everyone and in social media there is no shortage of negativity. 

While speaking to Vanity Fair she told how the negative comments had affected her. Selena said, “I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety. I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.”

The only thing Selena keeps on her phone is Tik Tok because she finds Tik Tok a little less hostile. I never would have imagined one day Tik Tok would be the superior social media platform. Joking aside, it is not like the positive side of social media is lost to Selena. In the same interview, she added,” There are wonderful things about social media - connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories. 

Although there are wonderful sides to social media, protecting yourself from negativity is also important. And that’s why Selena has a system. While explaining her system she said,” 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.” It’s good Selena has a system that helps her stay safe from all the negativity online.

Speaking of her system I wonder If her system includes unfollowing celebrities when no drama or feud is going on. I’m a firm believer that if there is smoke there is fire. Frankly, it’s hard to believe you're unfollowing someone you don’t have any drama with. I mean why did you follow them in the first place and why would you unfollow them if there is no feud going on. 

Do you think Selena is hiding something? Is there more to what meets the eye, comment down below.
