At this point, you could justifiably say that Selena Gomez has become one of the more, uh, interesting celebrities on social media.
Selena’s up-and-down relationship with social media is understandable and well-documented. Back in 2021, she claimed that she didn’t look at it at all for a while.
Back in January of this year, Selena announced she was taking a social media break that lasted less than 24 hours. She was roasted online for it a little — and, I mean, look, it was kind of funny.
So, Selena’s mom Mandy Teefey — who is CEO of the mental health platform Wondermind — recently gave an interview to Elite Daily in which she was asked about the length of Selena’s social media breaks, and if Selena has told her that certain lengths of time make a difference for her.
“No,” she told the publication. “It’s just whatever she needs for that time period.”
“I can go a week without looking at any social media, and then I’ll get on there and I’ll try to catch up. But it’s just whatever time Selena needs, she gives herself.”
Elite Daily also asked Mandy if her and Selena ever considered stepping away from social media together. “Yeah,” she replied. “You’re more at ease, in your world, and living in the moment.”
“It’s so much more peaceful.”
