Selena Gomez is on top of the world right now—winning awards, releasing new music, and getting engaged. But some insiders claim her success comes with a side of subtle revenge aimed at her famous ex, Justin Bieber.
According to RadarOnline.com, the Emilia Pérez actress may be throwing shade at Bieber during a time when he’s reportedly going through a rough patch. Selena and Justin were in an on-and-off relationship for nearly a decade before he broke things off and quickly married model Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber). The breakup was hard on both of them, but it seems like their paths couldn’t be more different today.
While Selena is being celebrated for her acting (Only Murders in the Building earned her a SAG Award) and her recent win at Cannes for Emilia Pérez, she’s also in a happy relationship with music producer Benny Blanco and just dropped a new album. Meanwhile, Bieber is reportedly struggling—with both health concerns and personal stress. Sources say his behavior has been erratic, and there’s tension in his marriage.
One insider told RadarOnline, “Justin has been hurting and crying out for attention for quite some time.” They claim that Selena’s recent actions—including possible lyrical digs in her new songs—have made things worse. In one track, How Does It Feel to Be, she sings:
“You’re so embarrassing / Go cry when no one’s watching… How does it feel to be forgotten?”
Fans are convinced those lyrics are aimed at Bieber.
Selena has opened up in the past about feeling down and alone for nearly five years. But now, she’s thriving—and some believe that she’s sending a message to those who hurt her along the way, including Justin.
At the same time, Bieber is facing more than just rumors of relationship trouble. Reports claim he’s anxious that his name might get dragged into the ongoing legal troubles surrounding his former mentor, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“This is the worst possible time for Selena to be going after Justin,” a source said. They described Bieber’s current state as fragile, suggesting that any public jabs—even indirect ones—are hitting him hard.
So is Selena out for revenge? Or is she just expressing her truth through music and living her best life? That depends on who you ask. But one thing’s clear: fans—and insiders—are watching every move closely.
