Before disabling her account, the singer came live on her TikTok and announced her decision to go on a break from the world of social media. She said, "I'm very happy, I'm so blessed, I have the best friends, the best fans in the whole world, and I just couldn't be happier. And I'm good. I love the way I am. I don't care, I'm big, I'm not—I don't care. I love who I am."

She added, "And yeah, I'm gonna be taking a second from social media, because this is a little silly. And I'm 30, I'm too old for this, so. But I love you guys so much! And I will see you guys sooner than later, I just... I'm just gonna just take a break from everything."

As soon as she dropped the post, her fans took to Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber's Instagram comments sections and blamed them for the People You Know singer's decision to leave social media temporarily. For the unversed, Selena's decision to take a break from social media came soon after Kylie and Hailey indirectly made fun of the Calm Down singer's eyebrows. 

Selena Gomez opens up on social media trolling 

Selena Gomez recently appeared on the cover page of Vanity Fair's 2023 Hollywood addition. While giving an interview to the magazine, she revealed how she dealt with online hate after her breakup. She shared that she handed over her Instagram account to her assistant as it was getting "toxic." 

She said, "People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people get detailed. 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."

In the same interview, Selena Gomez revealed that the only social media app she has on her phone is TikTok. When asked about the reason, the singer said that she found the app "a little less hostile." 

On the work front, Selena is all set to appear in Season 3 of Only Murders In The Building.
