I was a victim to emotional abuse during my relationship with Justin Bieber - Selena Gomez

In a recent interview, Selena Gomez revealed that she was a victim of emotional abuse in her relationship with Justin Bieber.

Selena also talked about her hit song Lose You To Love Me, which she confirmed was about her on-off relationship with Justin Bieber. Justin and Selena dated on and off between 2011 and 2018. 

She said “I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse during the relationship, yes, and I think that it's something that — I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. As much as I definitely don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever felt and I've found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible. I'm very proud of the song, I felt I didn't get a respectful closure and I had accepted that, but I know I needed some way to just say a few things that I wish I had said. It's not a hateful song; it's a song that is saying — I had something beautiful and I would never deny that it wasn't that... It was very difficult and I'm happy it's over.”
