From battling Lupus, depression, anxiety and two high profile breakups, Selena Gomez has gone through a lot in the past few years. Gomez, in a recent interview, has opened up about facing emotional abuse while in a relationship with ‘Baby’ singer Justin Bieber.
The singer discussed the origins of her single ‘Lose You To Love Me’ to NPR and confirmed that the song is about ending an unhealthy relationship. Prompted by the interviewer, Gomez confirmed the partner being discussed in the song was Bieber. “I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse,” she said. The singer went on to clarify that she meant emotional abuse.
“I felt I didn't get a respectful closure, and I had accepted that, but I know I needed some way to just say a few things that I wish I had said,” she said while talking about her song ‘Lose You To Love Me’.
She further said, “I felt like this was a great way to just say, you know, it's done, and I understand that, and I respect that, and now here I am stepping into a whole other chapter”.
Bieber and Gomez dated on and off between 2014 and 2018. The two got back together in December 2017, but parted ways again in March 2018, after which Bieber got married to Hailey Baldwin.
