Lately, I have been noticing a lot of people being very negative about Selena Gomez.
For those of you who have not heard of her, Selena Gomez was a star on Disney Channel and the on-again, off-again girlfriend of Justin Bieber. I do not understand why people are being so negative towards her.
I know she dated Justin Bieber, but I am sure we can all think of at least one ex that we are not too proud of.
I can probably think of a couple, and if you can’t think of an ex you might regret dating, then I doubt you have ever dated anyone. In which case, you should not be casting stones about someone’s choice in significant other.
I also understand that she was a Disney Channel star, which seems to immediately make people disliked nowadays.
Do you know who else was a Disney star at one point? Brenda Song, Raven Symone, Aly Michalka, and Anne Hathaway just to name a few.
They were in shows and movies that at the time might have been criticized harshly, but they have become more liked now that they have transitioned to adulthood.
Selena is the singer and founder of the band Selena Gomez & the Scene.
It is not the greatest band ever, but the songs are very catchy and sound a lot better to me than most pop songs out now. Plus, in my opinion at least, Gomez has a pretty stellar voice.
Gomez also owns six rescue dogs and is a spokesperson for UNICEF. There are people who do nothing to help others, and they are not being criticized as harshly as poor Selena.
Pretty much, I do not understand why people are so harsh on Selena.
Yes, she did date Justin Bieber, and she was on Wizards of Waverly Place, which was not the best show but was not the worst show on the planet.
She has a pretty kickin’ band and a bunch of cute and cuddly rescue dogs.
If you need one more good argument for why Selena should be given a chance and some respect, check out the short online video Fifty Shades of Blue, which stars Gomez and Ricky Kroll. It totally makes fun of the whole Fifty Shades of Grey franchise.
