Selena Gomez revealed her fame “out of control” early on in her career when she was dating fellow pop star Justin Bieber.

The 27-year-old musician opened up about her personal and professional life in a candid chat with actress Amy Schumer.

In their conversation, published in Interview magazine, Selena explained that she worried her personal story and past romances might affect her hard work.

“It got out of control when I was super young. I think it showed people that I was weak in certain moments, and that I had troubles,” Selena replied when asked about the focus on her personal life.

“Some people just get off on building people up and then trying to bring them down.”

Selena and Justin had a tumultuous on-off relationship that spanned eight years before coming to an end in early 2018.

She later described their romance, which was constantly in the media eye, as ’emotionally abusive’.

Just months after parting ways, Justin got back with Hailey Baldwin and then they married shortly after.

During her conversation with the magazine, Selena insisted she never meant to grab headlines with her personal life and she decided to start lifting the lid on her personal problems herself.

She added: “My intention was never to become a tabloid. So when things kind of happened that way, it got out of control…

“In reality there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I needed to go away or that I fell in love.

“I had to start opening up because people were taking away my narrative and it was killing me. I’m so young and I’m going to keep changing, and no one has the right to tell me how my life’s going.”

The pop diva boasts an impressive following of 172 million Instagram fans.

On her profile she shared a number of photographs from her recent interview, and urged followers to remain indoors.

Aside from the emotional rollercoaster that came with the pop diva’s headline grabbing former romances with Justin Bieber and The Weekend, Selena has also faced a number of personal battles throughout her musical career.

In 2018, she wound up in rehab as she battled depression and addiction.

She has also bravely battled Lupus and was forced to have a kidney transplant.

The former Disney star recently learned that she was bi-polar and revealed the news to her fans on Miley Cyrus’ live Instagram show.
