Selena Gomez is finally revealing the reason why she has been silent on social media for so long!

The ‘Rare’ singer just revealed to fans in a heartfelt video message on Instagram that she’d been struggling to post “joyful” content amid the racial justice movement. Totally understandable!

The 28-year-old explained her absence from the platform in a Wednesday, July 29th post. She revealed the reasons behind her hiatus and vowed to start posting more content soon. We are so relieved!

Without going into specifics, the "Spring Breakers" star referenced the events of the past few months, revealing that “it felt a little insensitive to post things that may be a little just joyful or celebratory.”

 

At a time when social media platforms should be used to amplify black voices, we think this was a good call.

But luckily, she says she's spent her time off social learning more about black issues. “It was really hard for me and I’ve taken the time to learn, truly learn, about what’s going on and I continue to make that my priority," she added. Bravo!
