Selena Gomez has revealed she has been diagnosed with lupus, and has undergone chemotherapy to fight the disease.

‘That’s what my break was really about. “I could’ve had a stroke”, Selena told Billboard magazine, when discussing the time she took away from the spotlight, which many assumed had something to do with her breakup with Justin Bieber and/or addiction struggles.
Gomez’s absence spurred speculation, which she found infuriating. Are you excited for her new album and world tour? He said: “I moved in with my girlfriend when I was 18. And the reason why I did that is I didn’t want them to win”.
The 23-year-old singer told Billboard she was forced to put her career on hold when the diagnosis was made.
She also came out and was very clear that Justin Bieber has nothing to do with the success that she has been having or anything that she has been able to do recently. “I always try to reflect afterward and not be anxious about why something didn’t work”. However, she said, “The hate motivated me”.
She was named after the Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez, who died nearly three years after Gomez was born. “I’m so fucking nice to everybody, and everyone is so vile to me”, the pop star laments at one stage.
It’s also a result of her new found confidence. So, while all body-shaming is crap, the fact that she’s getting body-shamed seems especially ridiculous. This is my time.

“No not that”, Justin replied and then went ahead saying, “Probably my relationship with my ex-girlfriend”. “I listened to opinions of people and I tried to change who I am because I thought others would accept me for it. And I realized I don’t know how to be anything but myself”.
