Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez: ‘Unhealthy,’ Says Fantastically Indiscreet ‘Inner Circle’

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s reignited romance has apparently triggered much hand-wringing among the actress’ close friends, who reportedly think the relationship is “unhealthy.”

A breathless report in the UK tabloid newspaper The Sun, claims a sort of ‘Save Selena’ summit was called by Gomez’s friends after Bieber posted an Instagram of the couple last Friday.

It showed the 19-year-old “Boyfriend” singer and the brunette beauty locked in a highly suggestive, semi-clad pose that clearly confirmed their reunion.

Now, Gomez’s “inner circle” of close friends — which presumably means they’re trusted — apparently felt a burning need to contact media outlets to talk about their ‘fears’ for the former Disney actress.

“We did everything we could to keep them apart but he was so persistent,” one source reportedly told The Sun.

The talkative ‘insiders’ went on to express worries that Bieber and Gomez’s relationship got far too serious, too early.

“It’s really unhealthy [that] they have such a turbulent relationship at such a young age,” the mouthpieces said, strangely sounding like middle-aged parents rather than ‘friends’ of a 20-year-old.

“He leaves her in floods of tears constantly,” they reportedly added.

The ‘Save Selena’ summit story has of course been picked up by media outlets.

Citing Bieber’s Believe world tour that includes items such as — a run-in with a Brit paparazzo, the quarantining of his monkey, an international incident over a guestbook entry at Amsterdam’s Anne Frank House museum, a tour bus drug raid by Swedish police and battery allegations — as reasons for Selena’s “really difficult year,” reportedly the “inner circle” say the actress is:

“[…] Dealing with the tense emotions that come with dating him. We thought she had finally broken free. But he has persuaded her to take him back again. There’s not much we can do about it — but we are going to try.”

The up-shot of the story is, according to her ‘friends,’ Gomez needs to cut ties with the dastardly Bieber.

Trouble is, apart from the fact that there are palpable authenticity issues with this story, from a look at Bieber-Gomez online footage and interviews over the years, it’s clear neither dominates the other.

If anything, if there is a stronger of the two, it’s Gomez. This was recently borne out by her recent David Letterman appearance, which means that her return to Bieber’s side is likely her decision.

Even pulling just a few quotes from the couple’s on-record comments during their on-off two-year relationship reveals the pair’s closeness. [The following responses were given by Bieber and Gomez in separate interviews to questions about the other.]

Selena: “He’s one of my best friend’s;” “He’s very sweet and I do love him very much, he’s a very good guy;” “Sometimes it’s right in front of your face and you don’t even see it.”

Justin: “She’s one of my best friends;” “She makes me really happy;” “We’ve been friends for a long time;” “She’s a really good person and she brings out the best in me;” “She’s just another blessing;” “[The song] is about her;” “Am I in love? I think so, yeah.”

Clearly, the couple have had their share of up and down’s, their last split was in December-New year. But it’s also likely external factors such as intense media spotlight, the attentions of the paparazzi, career commitments and their young ages played a role in their past breakups.

In addition to the fact that Bieber and Gomez have never looked happier since their reunion, Cody Simpson, a 16-year-old Australian artist who performed as support for some of the Canadian’s tour, recently told Hollywood Life:

“It’s good to see that [reunion]. She’s always been a great influence on him. She’s amazing every time I’ve met her when I’m with him. She’s a super sweet girl. I’m happy for them.”

So, now that Bieber and Gomez appear to have come through the storms of the past, here’s a motion for the echo chamber floor: How about we let them get on with it, without ‘fantastical’ interference.
