Gomez went on to say that back then, others were labeling her as a “victim,” which annoyed her since she strongly feels that showing vulnerability is among the most courageous actions one can take. She expressed her gratitude for each day and made it clear that she won’t allow this narrative to control her life.

The vocalist openly shared that she experiences tough days just like anyone else, but also confessed to having endured many hardships. She expressed that she doesn’t wish for others to feel pity towards her circumstances.

In the meantime, Selena Gomez’s upcoming movie titled “Emilia Perez” is slated for a theater release on November 1, 2024, followed by its streaming debut on Netflix from November 13.
