Selena Gomez openly talked about not being against responding to trolls on social media during a conversation at the Time 100 Summit in New York on Wednesday, April 24. Speaking about her brand Rare Beauty, the 31-year-old singer admitted that she is not afraid to stand up for her loved ones when senior Time editor Lucy Feldman asked about her relationship with social media.
Selena admitted that she was very happy when she took a long break from social media. «I disconnected from Instagram for four years, and my team posted for me during those years. I felt that it was the most valuable gift I gave myself», - she said at the summit. «You sit there, so focused on what looks great when everything that should be great for you is not from here. I was more present. I was happier. I really received real phone calls from people telling me their story, and I could hear it, instead of thinking, 'Oh, I already know what you did today.' It’s more human».
Although Selena showed that she considers the break «important», - she said that sometimes she can’t help but respond to trolls. «I find it annoying. Then I become a little talkative and want to defend the people I love», - she said.
Despite sometimes «becoming a little talkative», - Selena showed that she tries to keep her mind away from social media and only use it occasionally. «I think it’s important to take breaks. I don’t pay much attention. I just do something here and there», - she said.
Four years ago was not the only time Selena disconnected from social media. The «Only Murders in the Building» star announced that she was leaving social media after some drama at the Golden Globes. She posted a photo and announced, «I'm stepping away from social media for a while. I’m focusing on what’s really important»
