Selena Gomez has quit Social Media (about) 8 times
The Hands of Myself singer has gone through some tough times when she felt like everyone was out to get her. She has faced criticism for her comments, her choice of partner, and for even just showing up at an event. Gomez tries to keep her sanity intact and takes a break from social media whenever things get a bit out of hand. It seems like a vicious cycle at this point wherein Gomez quits Instagram, only to be tempted by the platform yet again.
She first announced a step back from social media back in 2016 when she realized she was getting addicted to Instagram. To cleanse herself of the nagging feeling whenever she opened the app, Gomez took some time off. Consequently, in 2018, 2020, 2023, and many times in between, Gomez has vowed to be off social media for a while. Nevertheless, she cannot resist coming back to the platform and touching base with her fandom.
