Selena Gomez's toxic relationship with her fans and the negative effects of their expecatations
We are picking up where we left off in the latest Selena update which you can check out here.
We’ve talked a lot about Selena Gomez’s fans, Selenators, terrorizing most celebrities on Earth. No one is sure why they do this, but the joint consensus has to be that Selena doesn’t interest them or entertain them enough. Of course this doesn’t go for “every one” of them, but let’s not kid ourselves, it’s a huge reputation that the fanbase has garnered for themselves.
So what does this mean for their relationship with Selena?
Well… nothing good.
Selena’s relationship with Selenators
This topic makes me laugh because old ESMG would’ve just screamed, “she hates you guys! She hates you!” and while that was true in the past, Selena has been very humbled and doesn’t feel this way anymore.
Back in the day, it was a thing to hate your fans in 2013 because it made you feel cool and very “stay out of my life omg.” Now celebrities have fcked up their lives so much, that they started respecting fan opinions.
In November 2021, I told my source that I noticed Selena focusing on herself more but I also noticed a lot of the hate and jokes her fans made about her gaining weight.
And listen- (close your eyes if you’re a Selena fan! I don’t wanna lose my Selenator friends), I never respected Selenators to begin with. They were always the #1 fanbase to mock, laugh and DESTROY every other celebrity, so what makes you think they wouldn’t do the same to their own fave? Even better, what makes you think Selena hasn’t read any of their tweets destroying her too?
They made jokes/had a mental breakdown when they saw her weight gain, they made jokes/had a mental breakdown when she wears her hair in a way they don’t like, or when she’s in clothes that aren’t the most appealing but they make her feel good.
They’re the first to defend her from other people but also the first to put her down. It’s really funny actually and in a way, it is Selena’s karma because she used to love it when her fans ripped others apart.
But this has sort of damaged their relationship.
In a way, her outlook on them got a lot better. Because she went from “ugh I hate them they’re so annoying” to “I actually do love them” BUT there is a few resentment issues because she’s insecure and feels like no one likes her if she isn’t skinny/dating a huge male celebrity.
Here’s exactly what my source said:
“That shows how fake a lot of her stans are and she sees it. She says they’ll like her better if she was strict on herself and wanted to look like a model 24/7 but she really doesn’t give a sh!t about appealing to that. I definitely feel like Selena loves her fans but she resents them at the same time and that’s why she’s distant. They trigger her a lot. A lot of things mentally that she’s trying to overcome.” -my source
Beautifully said—she loves her fans but is distant because of what they say.
Let’s recall the 9 million jokes and viral TikToks about how they want Jelena back and how they were a better relationship.
Imagine trying to move on from a relationship but having the entire world cry about it? And then on top of that have your own fans cry about your weight gain.
The point is… Selena sees everything and she is very well aware of shifts in her fanbase. She knows what her fans like and what they don’t like.
She will try to overcompensate at times, but the less authentic something is, the shorter it will last.
