Is Selena Gomez Sick Of 2016 Links To Justin Bieber As She Fights Lupus

Selena Gomez is once again being linked with her former boyfriend, Justin Bieber. Gomez must be heartily sick of the rumors linking her to Bieber as the couple’s relationship ended some time ago. Selena and Justin are reportedly on good terms these days, but that doesn’t stop the speculation. What makes the whole story so crazy is that while some outlets report that Gomez and Bieber are set to marry, others claim they hate each other.

In Touch claims that Selena and Justin are to marry. It seems that Bieber reached out to Gomez recently when she was reportedly in rehab. A source apparently told the magazine that Selena thinks if she marries Bieber, all her troubles will be over.

“Selena was all for it. As long as Justin proposes. Selena thinks if they just bite the bullet and get married, all of their problems will disappear.”

Ironically, amidst the reports of Gomez’s forthcoming nuptials, other sources are suggesting that Selena used her acceptance speech at the AMA’s to take a swipe at Bieber. Hollywood Take reported, “Selena Gomez hates Justin Bieber,” and they claim that her AMA’s comments about “being broken inside” were a direct swipe at Bieber. Interestingly, Gomez did use her speech to suggest that “everyone knows” about her struggles.

“I think it’s safe to say that most of you know a lot about my life, whether I like it or not. I had to stop, ’cause I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside. I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down.”

“I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what’s in here,” Gomez said and pointed to her heart. “I’m not trying to get validation, nor do I need it anymore.”

Of course, like Bieber, Gomez has been in the spotlight from a very young age, and for years, it has been apparent that she was struggling to cope. Gomez has been in and out of rehab on a number of occasions, and while she denies any substance abuse, it is clear that she has suffered health problems. Most recently, Gomez checked into rehab to deal with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.

Earlier this month, the Sun reported that Selena’s grandfather, Ricardo, had spoken about Gomez’s health issues.

“She was under a lot of pressure from work and was worrying about Justin. The doctor told her she needed to take time out. She works long hours every day, and although she loves her work, it got too much. I always tell Selena: ‘Be yourself and don’t let things get over your head.’ But it would be hard for anyone. She’s only human.”

Is Selena Gomez Really Sick?

Gomez revealed last year that she had been diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease called Lupus.

According to the Lupus Foundation of America, the disease can damage any part of the body, including joints, skin, and internal organs, and causes the immune system to attack healthy tissue. Among the Lupus side effects are anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Gomez has claimed to suffer from all three.

At present, there is no cure for Lupus, but Gomez has undergone chemotherapy. Drugs can reduce inflammation, suppress the immune system, prevent flare-ups, control symptoms, and minimize organ damage. Of course, Gomez’s lifestyle would certainly not help her condition. Long tours, living out of a suitcase, and performing to thousands of people night after night takes its toll on any artist. For Gomez, her Lupus magnifies the problems faced by everyone else while on the road.

Gomez has told her fans that she needs time to recover. Selena may be a former Disney Princess, but her illness and the continued speculation about her relationship with Justin Bieber mean her life is no fairy tale.
