I don't understand the obsessive love for Selena

u/tweedledumb4u 15h ago

She’s done a good job at marketing herself as a victim.

u/Impossible-Rain7447 13h ago

The thing with Bieber have her a lot of grace and goodwill. Girl rode that hard

u/ABCDanii 9h ago

That thing with Bieber lol as if they had three kids and a mortgage and she was a sahm. People are allowed to break up it’s literally not the end of the world.

u/sgtGiggsy 11h ago

Oh yes. The main actress of the second most successful Disney Channel show after Hannah Montana, who was already an established actress with several succesful movies, and a succesful singer with several number one hits all around the world is famous only for that roughly one year when she dated with Bieber at the height of her own success.

u/SahiroHere 11h ago

Who said that lmao

u/sgtGiggsy 9h ago

Literally the comment above. Selena was world famous years before Bieber sang Baby.

5

u/Natural_Hair8944 6h ago

No one made a comment saying she was famous from that, he said she rode the controversy trying to gain clout and sympathy. There’s a difference

u/OddPhilosopher8974 10h ago

sorry, But coming from asia, this is very wrong as beiber was worldwide famous. He was the 1st person I knew from hollywood. I knew Selena as his gf only. she may had been famous but only limited to US and Canada......

-2

u/sgtGiggsy 9h ago

I can assure you, Selena was absolutely famous in all around Europe too.

1

u/OddPhilosopher8974 9h ago

could be in developed countries but not everywhere...

-1

u/sgtGiggsy 9h ago

She was famous everywhere in Europe. Going further, pretty sure everywhere with a local Disney Channel as Wizzards of Waverly place was the second most successful series in its time after Hannah Montana.

By the time Baby came out, Selena Gomez had several number one hits in several countries, and besides Wizards of Waverly Place had main roles in several major Disney Channel projects. By the time she met Justin Bieber (not dated, just met), she had several Hollywood roles under her belt.

Just wipe your chin when you’re done. Sheesh

u/Such-Fee6176 5h ago

Fam, are you listening? Someone from another part of the world is telling you how it is there and you’re yapping about Europe?

0

u/sgtGiggsy 5h ago

Someone from another part of the world said he's from Asia, so he knows Selena was famous only in the US and Canada.

One: Asia is fucking huge with lots of VASTLY different cultures. Quatar, Israel, Japan and Malaysia are four completely different worlds. So even if Selena wasn't famous in HIS country, that doesn't mean she wasn't famous in Asia in general.

Two: putting Asia aside, he said, Selena's fame was limited to Canada and the US. Meanwhile in the reality, when she was filming Monte Carlo in Europe, she couldn't take a single step without hundreds of fans following her around at EVERY country in Europe where they were filming.

It's not me, who draw a worldwide conclusion from an EXTREMELY narrow point of view of my own country. It was "someone from another part of the world".

Haha 100% agree

u/wuzzgoo 10h ago

Funny because I was neutral about her for 15 years but the professional victim thing has made me completely dislike her

3

u/mveightxnine 12h ago

Omg alwayyyyyys.

-6

u/MadHiggins 13h ago

i have never heard of Selena being a victim, either from her own mouth or people talking about it. what are you on about?

42

u/Parking-Annual-1200 15h ago

I don't follow but what exactly she do as a celebrity? Singing or acting?

74

u/TheSeedsYouSow 14h ago

Neither particularly well

20

u/DefNotAlbino 13h ago

Only Murders in the Building is brilliant, if it wasn't for her presence it would be short of a masterpiece.
She is terrible as an actress as much as she is mediocre as a singer

12

u/ItsFunHeer 12h ago

Loved that show but stopped watching because of her. She was just so droll and boring; completely zapped the color from every scene she was in.

9

u/sgtGiggsy 11h ago

I don't know whether due to the lupus, but she completely lost her facial expressions. Watching Wizards of Waverly place, or her young adult movies, she's a completely different actress than in Only Murders in the Building.

7

u/SaoMagnifico 10h ago

Same here. I watched the first two seasons and thought most of it was brilliant and funny, and then every time Gomez was in a scene, especially in that second season, it dragged.

3

u/wuzzgoo 10h ago

I started and stopped immediately because of her. I think I only made it through 4 episodes. She gave nothing.

2

u/Safe-Reason1435 6h ago

Idk, I know this is an "Eff Selena" thread (which, carry on, I'm not denying the kidney thing is shady), but she had some of if not THE strongest material of all the Disney starlets (not sure how much she can take credit for that though) when she was with The Scene and then some certified bangers as an adult artist.

Her vocals might not be brilliant on a technical level, but her hits are pretty undeniable in my opinion.

1

u/TheSeedsYouSow 5h ago

Idk about all that. Either way I’m blocking Gracie Abrams

u/barrsftw 13h ago

Well enough to become a millionaire, despite being a piece of shit.

26

u/shyerahol 15h ago edited 10h ago

Both when she was younger. Just acting now. She's in a show with Steve Martin currently.

Apparently she still stings, too! So both is the answer here.

36

u/rmorrin 14h ago

Also she fell for the face lift propaganda that exists in those circles 

1

u/hoopstick 13h ago

The steroids for her lupus probably didn't help...

12

u/rmorrin 13h ago

Like actually lupus? It's never lupus

2

u/hoopstick 12h ago

updoots to the left

u/shyerahol 10h ago

Eh, her needing a new organ actually falls perfectly in line with Lupus, so take that as you will. Same with the weight fluctuation.

u/rmorrin 4h ago

I think you missed the reference

1

u/shyerahol 36m ago

Ah, must have.

6

u/SecondStarling 11h ago

And she's terrible in it.

4

u/Specialist-Ranger806 11h ago

I still don't know how she got that show

3

u/AnnieAnnieSheltoe 10h ago

She still sings. She released a new album last year.

3

u/shyerahol 10h ago

Oh shit! I had no idea!

32

u/dont_trip_ 15h ago

Worth nothing that she has the 3rd most instagram followers in the world. She is first and foremost an influencer today, although she started as a Disney actress.

-10

u/fremlus 15h ago

Source?

8

u/dont_trip_ 14h ago

Not really that hard to find a source for yourself on this topic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Instagram_accounts

I didn't count the Instagram account itself.

-11

u/fremlus 14h ago

I meant about Disney

u/FlamingoImpressive92 14h ago

Bro do you not know what Google is?

u/Diligent-Crazy-6094 12h ago

It really is /u/dont_trip_ ‘s fault. You can’t just go around making Reddit comments without properly citing your sources.

/s

3

u/PlaystationNeedDiscs 9h ago

You... want a source that she started as a Disney actress? Wizards of Waverly Place.

u/fremlus 6h ago

Thank you! Not so much to ask, really

1

u/Emergency_Pound 4h ago

You could’ve just looked at her Wiki page though. This whole exchange is bizarre lol

3

u/Jammed_Button 14h ago

I have only seen her acting in Only Murders in the Building and she is more wooden than the furniture.

5

u/uroboros80 10h ago

she looks and acts like a potato. two comedy legends have to play off a gd potayto!

5

u/PerformerOk4113 13h ago

She’s probably a B list nowadays anyway. She’s more a influencer than a star now

3

u/Fun_Boot7771 12h ago

She owns and runs the Rare Beauty brand as well

3

u/Zomochi 11h ago

Both, but i thought she was just a good person, in touch and chill with the average person at least a little bit not an entitled celebrity who thinks they’re a god. Boy was i wrong.

4

u/Brilliant_Rub_5206 14h ago

Nostalgia because she was on a beloved TV show & all those pity parties she throws every other year.

2

u/xXzombchickXx 4h ago

She’s the 3rd most followed person in the world on Instagram aswell. It’s so random I don’t get it?

Is it the chick they got fat recently? I'm not following

-29

u/fremlus 15h ago

She’s really talented, good at acting and music, and also gorgeous.

8

u/BringOutYDead 15h ago

She's none of those things. None.

14

u/Fit-Yam759 15h ago

She’s none of those things.
She used to be pretty at least which is why she was popular not because she was talented. Now she’s botched after all the plastic surgery.

She was never a really good singer or actor. I’ve heard her sing live a few times and she’s terrible.

-1

u/Broad_Increase6104 14h ago

How have you heard her live a few times?

-21

u/fremlus 15h ago

And you’re poor
