Selena Gomez Reflects on Her Past Mistakes... is she heading toward a full recovery or an in denial sabotage? Is she secretly dating The Weeknd?

The past few years have been interesting for Selena Gomez. She hasn’t had a fully booked year-long schedule since 2017 and yet she’s everywhere, but nowhere. It’s that mystery aspect that we talked about in one of our recent posts on her.
Nowadays, Selena has been taking her chance in the acting world seriously while simultaneously working on her makeup line, Rare Beauty. She releases random songs here and there while dipping in the pool of Spanish music, but for now, she wants to focus completely on acting.
this music video was very odd
With that being said, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t expect new music from Selena. There’s a lot in store for her when it comes to her new era and you can read this post for more information.
Today’s post is a small update and it builds on what I already exposed about Selena’s health in our June post. You guys are always asking for an update on Selena’s health and her sobriety, but I’ll just tell you what my source told me.
“A person who’s coming from drug abuse and pain medications, sobriety won’t come easy. I think people don’t realize that Selena didn’t only do cocaine and cigarettes. It was much deeper than that.”

Selena’s health journey currently consists of her working more on the effects of her withdrawals. However, she is dealing with a lot of insecurity issues because of how she looks. Her face has changed pretty dramatically if you compare it to how she looked a few years ago.
“It’s causing a lot of insecurities because her face is changing and she’s expressed to her close friends how she feels she’s going through her karma.” - my source
Her. Karma. We stan a self aware queen, am I right?
Kidding, but Selena’s true journey hasn’t been documented anywhere else like it has on this blog. You can dig deep into posts from the past couple of years where we talked about how Selena will get her karma for the way she has behaved to others, and to see that she’s admitted it to friends is wild. But nonetheless, it shows character development I hope.
I asked my source about the bizarre theories that Selenators have of Selena and The Weeknd secretly dating and she said, “I never heard of anything about her secretly dating Abel, I know she has always missed him and was saying due to her health, she doesn’t think they can be together.”
This is something we talked about in the following post:
So to all of her delusional fans who believe that Selena and Abel have been secretly frolicking the streets of Guam, relax.
Now if you guys read the latest Jailey update, we talked about how the Biebers are being sabotaged from the inside. We also stated that Selena doesn’t have anything to do with it… to our knowledge.
Like I said… character development. Keep this up, Selena… I think we can be great friends!
Here are the messages between my source and I:
So that’s all I have from an inside perspective but there are 2 things that I want to talk about.
1. Selena’s alcoholic TikTok joke
@selenagomez This was so damn hard lol

Oh Sel.
It’s funny because as soon as she posted this TikTok, her fans spammed my mentions/indirects saying “now esmg is gonna use this as proof that she’s an alcoholic 😠😠😠😠” or “watch esmg write a novel about this.”
The ESMG in question:
First of all, I don’t really give a shit. I was inactive on Twitter for weeks and when I saw that video, I literally had no reaction.
Second of all, Selena is an alcoholic whether or not you want to wrap your head around that. I think she jokes about her alcohol use so it can serve as comedic relief because she knows she got herself in hot water when she responded to criticism about why she still drinks after her kidney transplant saying “I could give two shits.”
It’s a quote that none of her fans seem to remember LMAO.
If anyone else said that, they would have gotten eaten alive, but because it’s Selena, no one remembers. I will say that Demi Lovato gets more shit for being California Sober than Selena does for drinking after a transplant. But then again that’s because Selena framed her whole journey around lupus as opposed to drug addiction.
So yeah, I don’t find it that weird that Selena jokes about her alcohol because I know she’s trying to normalize that side of her and she’s probably praying to God that people forgot everything she’s said about lupus.
She’s also successfully transferred a huge audience to TikTok because she showcases her real personality there. I’ve always said that Selena is a funny and quirky gal and that’s one of the main reasons why the general public loves her so much despite her clearly public demonic past.
2. Selena reminisces on her 2014 rehab visit
God Selena… we were doing so well… our friendship was really blossoming and then you go on and say that shit?
In 2013, Selena was actually running around partying and drinking every 3 seconds. So it’s kind of disgusting to pretend that that was a narrative created by yours truly (well I made it a popular narrative, I’ll take credit for it) when it was Selena who invented that narrative. Everyone else just commented on it.
Selena can party from here until next year, I don’t really care, but to sit there in an interview and gaslight impressionable fans?
It wasn’t a narrative created out of thin air. It was something that magazines talked about because SHE posted herself drinking alcohol on Instagram every hour. Sure she didn’t post herself snorting cocaine, but the alcohol pictures? Girl, we can start a file on that.
She was also showing up to events drunk and slurring her words in interviews and it was something that was WELL KNOWN.
This isn’t even to mention all the times that she was stumbling out of parties/clubs and needing to be walked to her car.
So for her to say in 2021 that it was a “nasty narrative” meanwhile it was PUBLIC FACTS just goes to show me that she’s either playing stupid for pity or she does believe in the fake it till you make it quote. Unfortunately for every celebrity, that doesn’t run here on ESMG.
She can talk all about this so-called "narrative," but the fact of the matter is that her 2014 rehab visit was to a facility specializing in addiction & she was out partying every night - it wasn't something "invented."
We also specifically said she was going to be in rehab for 2 weeks, when no one knew where she was or how long she was going to be there.
She was known to do drugs and drink like a fish back in 2013/2014 to the point where her reps had to clear up her reason for rehab by specifically stating that it wasn’t for drugs & alcohol.
I don’t even think that she spoke up about lupus in 2014. That was something that was brought up in 2015.
In her August 2021 ELLE interview, she said that she went to rehab to deal with her mental health in 2014.
And yet in 2015, her reps told the world that she went there in 2014 because of her lupus diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment.
So which is it?
And this is my main problem with Selena and anyone who defends her on this topic. She’ll just be doing the usual—lying and saying the most outrageous things—and then she’s confused when people call her out or don’t believe her.
She mistakes her lupus for a deadly form of cancer and yet she will turn the narrative around and be like “people just say I do drugs :(“
She’ll undergo a full-blown kidney transplant and talk about how she can’t drink and yet will say in an interview that she could give 2 shits what people say about her drinking.
She’ll say she went to rehab because of lupus and chemotherapy, but then will change her story and say oh it was because of mental health.
She’ll be caught blackout drunk every night back in the day but then will play dumb and be like why were people saying I was partying and drinking?
I don’t really care what Selena does with her story moving forward, but one thing I won’t stand for is for her to gaslight and manipulate everyone publicly. Homegirl, keep your struggles a secret! It’s literally a trait I’ve grown to love, but don’t wrongfully call out people.
Ooof nothing gets me heated like the topic of Selena & drugs LMAOOO
I’m kidding, I actually don’t think what she said was that annoying, but yeah that’s all for this post. I wasn’t gonna include this last segment, but if Selena wants to state repetitive lies, we’re gonna have to repetitive as well.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Let me know if you checked out Selena’s new Hulu show and if it’s good, I’ve been wanting to check it out.
