AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez has reacted to a fan defending her against criticism for talking about her past relationship with Justin Bieber in a recent interview. Getting support from her devotee, the singer/actress is grateful as she has publicly thanked the fan.

In a TikTok video, the fan broke down why Selena got dragged online following her interview with Fast Company. "Justin Bieber stans are bullying Selena Gomez for this article on Twitter. Apparently … and she can't talk about past relationships even though a ton of other celebrities do the same every f**king day in articles," he said in the clip.

"But I see Justin Bieber stans accusing Selena Gomez of using him for attention," the fan said, before clapping back, "What attention? Selena Gomez is in the news all the time, her net worth is higher than Justin Bieber and she was successful before Justin Bieber."

The TikTok user went on mocking Justin and his fans, "All I hear about Justin Bieber now is tably bulls**t and nonsense about him and his wife. It is very delusional to think that she's getting clout from Justin Bieber. I find it interesting that Hailey Bieber [Hailey Baldwin] stans claim that we bully an innocent woman all of the time when they're doing so right now."

"This interview wasn't really about Justin Bieber in the first place to begin with. She was just recounting where she was in her life at that time when she deleted Instagram," the fan stressed. "Justin Bieber stans really need a f**king life." Over the video, he also noted that Selena "never said [Justin's] name in this article."

Upon seeing the video, Selena quickly expressed her gratitude. She wrote in the comments section, "Thank you so much!" prompting the video creator to get excited.

Meanwhile, in the said article, Selena talked to Fast Company about how her breakup with Justin made her stay off Instagram for years. "I had just gotten my heart broken. I didn't need to see what everyone was doing," she said, adding that she also had a hard time because she couldn't not accept her body at the time. "Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I'd see on Instagram. Wow, I wish my body looked like that."

The 31-year-old admitted cruel comments over her figure, because she no longer had a "teenager's body," took a toll at the same time. She revealed, "None of the sample sizes were fitting, and that would make me feel embarrassed. Although how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman's body not to change?"

Selena only returned to the platform over the last year.
