Selena Gomez has joined the recent array of celebrities who have spoken up about the international crisis. Gomez, who was taking a break from social media took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the conflict and how it makes her feel. She also announced that she would be taking a social media break, simply because it’s hard for her to handle and see all these disturbing visuals.

Her full statement reads, “I’ve been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence, and terror that’s going on in the world. People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific. We need to protect ALL people, especially children and stop violence for good. I’m sorry if my words will never be enough for everyone or a hashtag. I just can’t stand by innocent people getting hurt. That’s what makes me sick. I wish I could change the world. But a post won’t.”

Her neutral stance on the situation and not supporting Palestine offended fans everywhere. Everyone called her out for actively speaking against Russia during the Russia-Ukraine war and staying silent on the Israel-Palestine war.
