Selena Gomez is taking a break from her music. The 24-year-old singer reportedly checked herself into a rehab facility in an attempt to cope up with the emotional stress and health issues she has been having lately.
According to Radar Online, the “Kill Em with Kindness” singer entered a rehab program on the East Coast early September to get a handle on an emotional and health crisis.
Gomez canceled her Revival tour late in August to the shock of many of her fans. The former Disney star says that she was taking the time off to focus on herself and her health.
Gomez has been very open to the public about battling lupus. She reportedly is trying her very best to get her life back on track and is willing to do extraordinary measures to fix her life.
Sources say that the “Good For You” singer has not been feeling herself lately that’s why she hopes that her hiatus would allow her to bring back her old and usual self.
Sources say that the facility is a women’s only rehab secluded in a wooded area and that the singer will be staying there for more than 60 days.
Reports suggest that Selena’s facility is not a huge celebrity center and it’s not somewhere where she has ties. Radar Online reports that the rehab has a Christianity-based track, which is appealing to Selena’s religious background.
While a representative for the “Monte Carlo” star has not stated anything, reports suggest that Gomez is not being treated for a drug-related problem as the root causes of her issues are related to her medical diagnoses, as well as depression.
Reports say that Selena was really devastated with one of her friend’s recent murder that it led her to take substance abuse, but these rumors were refuted by her representatives.
The “Hands to Myself” songstress is expected to participate in intense therapy sessions as the facility offers a lot of it in their programs. The facility has also heightened its security since Gomez checked in.
Rumors say that her recent spat with her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, on Instagram, as well as the murder of her friend Christina Grimmie, were contributing factors that sent the singer spiraling downwards.
Fans will remember that in the heat of Bieber threatening his fans that he will delete his Instagram account because of all the hate that his then girlfriend Sofia Richie has been getting, Gomez suddenly reacted to one of his posts sending many fans into mixed reactions.
Gomez received multitudes of backlash because of her comment on Bieber’s post which led her to not post anything on the photo-sharing app in over a month.
Back in August, she released a statement to her fans explaining her decisions saying that the best way to maintain her health and happiness is to take some time off.
She apologized to her fans especially those who have purchased tickets for her Revival tour dates. Representatives of Gomez has stated that tickets will be refunded in full.
She also thanked her fans for understanding her decision and supporting her all the way. She also hopes that her act will inspire others to address their own issues and not put it on the backburner.
According to ET Online, Gomez has cleared up the remainder of her year to be gig-free indicating that her two-month stay in rehab could extend depending on her progress and diagnosis.
Despite her rehab stint, fans of the pop star were shocked when Selena dropped a new single. The song, entitled “Trust Nobody” was released just a few days after the “Wizards of Waverly Place” alum surpassed the 100 million follower mark on Instagram.
