“I’m trying my best not to listen, not to read, I’m very happy living my life, sending love to everyone… I understand because I’ve been a huge fan of the person I grew up with, but it’s not nice, and I I would say, not just with me, but with anyone, please stop,” the actress concluded.
In the short conversation she had with the magazine, she added that even though the Outta My Hands and Me & My Girls singer doesn’t condone her bullying, she feels Gomez’s fans are trying to play a mental trick on her.

She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much little sister. Lupus is still very misunderstood, but progress is being made.”
