Selena Gomez is updating fans on her health status after revealing her battle with Lupus just a couple months back, saying she’s now healthy and ready to talk about it.
Since revealing her health issues in October, she has cleared up the rumors about the mysterious “rehab” stint that was reported last year. She wasn’t dealing with substance abuse or alcohol problems, she was undergoing chemotherapy.
“It has been overwhelming and the response has been very supportive, which is nice -- but it still makes me a little uncomfortable,” she told Billboard.
Gomez revealed she privately battled a flare-up last year because she wasn’t confident enough to deal with it publicly. “I waited for the right time to talk about it because I am in a great place and I'm very healthy," she said. "I'm not trying to be loud about it: It was time to use my platform to help."
She told Billboard two months ago that she really resented the negative rumors that surfaced.
“I wanted so badly to say, ‘You guys have no idea. I’m in chemotherapy. You’re assholes.’ I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again,” she said at the time.
