Getting honest, the Rare Beauty founder stated: "I felt ashamed of the decisions that I made."

Didn't Want To Be Seen In A Bad Place

Gomez continued: "I didn’t want you guys to see me in the state that I was in, because a) you would have told me the truth, which terrifies me, and b) I didn’t want to let you down."

Appreciates Them

Of her costars, the ex-to-singer Justin Bieber continued: "I appreciate you guys dearly. I love you so much in a way that I’ve never loved anybody else." Selena is known for being a mental health warrior and for being an open book regarding both her anxiety and her depression.

All She Could Have Asked For

Noting that she felt emotionally "safe" with her former costars, the Wolves hitmaker concluded:

"I felt safe and that’s a really hard thing for me to feel… I know you guys love me for me…You guys genuinely loved me, and that’s all I could have asked for."

Social Media Break

The latest from Selena comes as she continues to make headlines for online drama involving ex Justin, plus the Canadian's 2018-married wife, supermodel Hailey Bieber. Selena is currently taking a TikTok break, however, she is still active on Instagram.
