SELENA GOMEZ ‘EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN’ IN HOSPITAL now receiving mental health treatment (tmz.com).

“Taking a social media break. Again.”, Selena Gomez, Instagram
Multiple sources tell TMZ, the 26-year-old singer was at her Studio City, CA home the last week of September when the first emergency hit. We’re told she was despondent and emotional over an alarmingly low white blood cell count in the wake of her kidney transplant. Our sources say a family member drove her to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A.

With Selena released days later but having to be re-admitted late last week due to persistent low blood cell count which seemingly threw her into a “downward emotional spiral” suffering a “meltdown” and ripping the IV’s out of her arm. Currently she is at an East Coast psychiatric facility and receiving dialectical behavior therapy which she has received in the past.

There has been a “virtual blackout” of information regarding SelGo for several weeks with her posting in late September that she was taking a break from social media shortly after doing an Instagram Live in which she told fans depression had consumed her life for 5 years, and made worse after becoming the target of hateful comments on social media with the media circus with her ex Justin Bieber having got engaged and them married on the quick without a prenup to Hailey Baldwin (tmz.com).

Certainly raising an ever persistent question for years regarding the mental health of Millennials and Gen Z growing up with a societal and now somewhat disgraced social media companies expectation that you have to engage less you be considered odd or a nobody even when even your “friends” are none too friendly if not out right engaging in bullying: Fact Check: Is social media bad for your mental health? (theweek.co.uk, Jan. 2018).

Meanwhile…

Justin Bieber golfs in LA amid news his marriage to Hailey Baldwin ‘undoubtedly’ had an ‘effect’ on Selena Gomez (dailymail.co.uk).

The Canadian crooner, 24, was snapped at Sherwood Golf Club in Thousand Oaks, California amid a new report that his engagement and subsequent marriage to Hailey Baldwin, 21, had an impact on his ex Selena Gomez, 26.

But perhaps a case of tabloids eagerly poking their nose in with description of newlywed carefree Beiber playing golf:

A source on Friday told E! that while “Justin and Selena are not in touch … him hearing the news about Selena definitely upsets him.”

The source, perhaps hidden down the 9th hole, also stating “Justin also feels guilty. He wants to help everyone” and “He truly wants Selena to be happy, and it’s upsetting to know she’s battling health issues”. Beiber and SelGo having rekindling their perpetually on, off relationship before going their separate ways in February. But the warning were there, indeed speculated before the hasty wedding so soon after they split:

Selena Gomez hopes Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin don’t actually get married as it would ‘crush her’ claims source (mirror.co.uk, Aug. 2018).

“The times Selena was most happy in life were days when she was with Justin, and she always thought she would be the one marrying him, not Hailey.”

Inevitably leading to some to go into inevitable televised advice mode:

Wendy Williams warns Justin Bieber to ‘stay away’ from Selena Gomez: She’s better off ‘without’ you (hollywoodlife.com).

[Television host and former radio DJ shock jockette] Wendy Williams thinks that Justin Bieber has all the best intentions when it comes to caring for his ex-girlfriend, but she believes that him reaching out to Selena Gomez in the hospital after her breakdown could do more harm than good.

Pointing out it would also be unfair to his new bride Hailey Baldwin too before predicting “will be over by the first of the year if he keeps this behavior up”, his “behavior” presumably being whatever you want the 24-year-old mega-rich egg-throwing indited pop star to be.
