Selena Gomez finally opens up on why she deleted Instagram three years back

Standing amongst the top ten most-followed Instagram accounts, the popular actress and singer Selena Gomez once took a decision nobody saw coming. Before 2019, around three years back, the star icon deleted all her social media accounts and went aloof with her personal life to keep track of her mental health. In a recent interview, Selena Gomez opened up about why she took such an out-of-the-blue step.

Playing a host to one of the most followed social media accounts has its own tolls. Selena Gomez stated that it was important to her that she became a good role model to the millions of people following her, but with all the good comes a little evil. Having started off at a really tender age in front of the camera, Selena Gomez often faced severe criticism as a child. As ‘unfair’ as it comes out, the Disney channel star rose to public fame in a very short amount of time alongside dealing with mental health issues. After having realized it, Selena Gomez plainly states that she just “snapped” out of the whole social media and pop culture glory and made sure to not stay active on her social handles.

The abrupt decision, which might put the star’s fans in grief, came out to be a good one after all since it “really saved” her life. Not being up to date with most of the trending topics and not following the social media culture very religiously are some of the most followed traits of the diva. While some may feel that this is a very conventional move, Selena Gomez expressed that this has actually made her “really happy”. And what’s more fulfilling than keeping sane with the most unfollowed traditions?  

As of now, Selena Gomez remains infrequently active on her social media. The star diva keeps her fans updated with some of the most loved parts of her life which keeps her admirers in love with her.
