Selena Gomez: I Was a 'Victim' of Emotional Abuse While Dating Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez opened up about suffering from emotional abuse while dating Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: A Timeline of Their Relationship

“I’ve found the strength in it,” the “Lose You to Love Me” singer, 27, told NPR on Sunday, January 26, when asked if her March 2018 breakup with the Grammy winner, 25, was one of the “harder parts” of her life. “It’s dangerous to stay in a victim mentality. And I’m not being disrespectful, I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse.”

When the reporter asked if she had experienced “emotional abuse” specifically, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum said, “Yes, and I think that it’s something that — I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. And I had to understand the choices I was making.”

The actress added, “As much as I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt and I’ve found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible.”

She and the “Yummy” singer dated on and off between 2011 to 2018. After their split, Bieber quickly moved on with Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), who he’d previously dated in 2015. The pair tied the knot in September 2018, followed by a second ceremony in September 2019 with friends and family.

“Selena is in a good place,” a source told Us Weekly exclusively at the time. “She has been hanging out with old friends and family and keeping herself out of the limelight and away from public places where she might feel bombarded or overwhelmed. Selena has an amazing support system and couldn’t be more grateful.”

While the former Disney Channel star is currently “open” to dating, she is “solely focused on herself and enjoying life to the best of her ability and getting back to being the Selena that she and all of her close ones knew prior to dating Justin.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
