Justin Bieber 2016: Blamed For Selena Gomez's Alleged Stint In Rehab? HIlary Duff Speaks [VIDEO]
Is Justin Bieber to blame for Selena Gomez's ongoing struggles with her mental health?
In August, Gomez canceled her Revival World Tour due to symptoms of Lupus, including anxiety, depression and panic attacks, but did her tension with Bieber lead her to experience these symptoms?
According to a report by In Touch Weekly, Gomez was pushed over the edge by her ex-boyfriend's relationship with Sofia Richie. According to a second report, via Life & Style, Gomez felt "backed into a corner" by the "Cold Water" singer, who ultimately split from Richie last month.
"It was really hard for her. She saw Justin looking so happy and that really sent her into a downward spiral,” a source said of Gomez's thoughts on Bieber's social media photos of himself and Richie.
Although Bieber may have contributed to Gomez's recent struggles, her fellow singer/actress Hilary Duff recently spoke out about her struggles during an interview on Sirius XM’s Just Jenny and said that it is tough to grow up in a gossip-obsessed world.
“I think it’s hard,” she said, according to MTV News. “When I was just coming on to the scene was when all the gossip stuff started, but now it’s at such an extreme level. And there’s just such a focus on personal life. It must be a really tough struggle.”
