Selena Gomez is a warrior. She has beat adversity with grace and dignity. It is a hard road to travel from being a Disney darling to an independent adult; 98% do not survive.

[@katherineamelia98]

Idk if one can say she has 'beat' it, she still seems unhappy

She’s sooo well spoken and collected I love how she expresses her ideas. She seems honest and genuine

[@SusanScrapPassion]

Selena has been to hell and back, and still struggles with chronic illness. Yet, she has triumphed over those challenges with dignity and grace. She demonstrates authenticity and compassion for others and their experiences while sharing her own journey in this difficult world we live in. Her talent and ability to take on new things in her career is inspiring and her concern for the youth in our society is commendable.

[@stephengiese7549]

Honest, modest and charitable😁

One of the best interviews I've ever seen on social media! Pure, honest, and raw! Any one person young or old could take so many good things from this conversation. Well done!

[@linny286]

Selena has always been transparent in dealing with her fans and the media, I respect that. Some times it may have caused her more emotional issues but she is a warrior for life and how can you not love and respect those kinds of people. Wonderful interview.

Selena is so authentic. She has gone through so much in life and is so humble and cares. Everything she touches she turns to gold. I feel people have and still judge her so wrong just for the hell of it and she doesn't deserve it. I will always be a fan and I wish her all the success and happiness in life.

[@tiah1927]

She’s so right about money and materialistic things. Once your needs are met, money and stuff above that don’t matter. I grew up dirt poor always dreaming of more: a nice house, nice neighborhood, beautiful kitchen, clothes, shoes, blah blah blah. When I started making six figures and my needs were met, I was soooo stress free, but NOT any happier because I got the house, the kitchen, etc etc and then realized that none of it mattered. What made me happy before I had money still made me happy with money: ie family, friends, pets, walks, laughter, movies, books, singing to my hearts content, travel. I realized that I wasn’t unhappy before, I was just so stressed about my not being able to pay my bills, etc, but I had happiness. I totally get what Selena is saying, I have lived this. Sidebar: I know people will say you need money to travel, yes this is true. You definitely need enough money to meet your basic needs and little extra. My favorite trip was a cross country trip in an old car with my daughter. We ate out of cooler and camped the whole time. I have been on luxury cruises and they were nowhere near as fun as that cheap car trip… that’s kind of my point.

[@stefanystratton3324]

Ms. Selena Gomez is an absolute icon,warrior woman & so absolutely grateful!! This interviewer I hope left feeling so uplifted in a way that she received validation from an amazing woman to another of how appreciative she was! Also she better get a raise! She was respectful & tactful with her questions & responses! Love love love all around!! It’s the name “SELENA” it carries such power I swear! Ofc more than that the human attached to the name! 🫶🏼

[@annamosqueda3313]

I'm so proud of Selena 😊 I love what her mom said to her about it not being her turn ... When she speaks about life in general, she speaks through the eyes of a person with many years ahead of her. She reminds me of an old soul ❤ If I could go back in time, it would definitely be my thirties. 😊

[@sugarraynay4153]

I just love her ❤️ I discovered her in my 50s and her story and Journey, is crazy similar to mine.. just parallel everything I’ve been through. I relate to her heartache, pain, giving. She’s a super sigma empath, Highly sensitive person HSP, she knows I’m sure. But I recognize!! That’s what I love about her. She knows her true self. It’s made her extremely strong and blessed❤ I would say she’s an INFJ COMPLETE. The most rare personality types around. That’s why she’s rare. She’s chosen, with wisdom beyond her years.

[@SGr-d2u]

People dont realize how much work goes into celeb interviews. Its not just luke they sit down and answer questions. Everything is pre planned in a pre interview. Questions are selected. Agents managers come to agreements . Once its conducted it has to get approval and be edited before its aired. Usually interviews are designed to make a celeb look a certain way or to promote their work etcetc . Just keep that all in mind

[@jayqdarapper830]

Okay???

[@glendamazariego4510]

She did an excellent job in answering each of the pre approved questions!

[@dianadavis2054]

A little passive aggressive aren’t we? Whether or not the questions were known and agreed on ahead of time and even edited, she was still very articulate and genuine in her messaging. To understand everything she’s been through and continues to be humble is something to be admired.

Is she okay? She's talking very slowly and with a strange affect that she did not used to have.

[@Jj.Gonzalezz]

She has lupus. I know a lot of people often use her lupus diagnosis as reasoning for how she acts and appears. And to be quite frank it makes completely sense as someone who has a sister with lupus, the way she speaks could be a factor in the way she acts and looks. I’ve seen my sister go through so much pain because of it and even to this day with the medication she’s on it still affects her so hard. Lupus is a chronic illness that affects people in an array of symptoms, it’s not researched nor understood well, which requires a multitude of medication. The way she is now could be because of lupus and the medication she is on. Lupus causes inflammation, chronic pain, and low energy. So please take this into consideration. I mean hello it’s not that hard to look up the facts and verifying those facts as well.

[@SGr-d2u]

Sometimes celebs take anti anxiety pills or sedatives to do sit down interviews.

[@anda266]

She doesn't open her mouth much while she speaks...might be an effect of a beauty intervention.
