Selena Gomez has revealed she went through chemotherapy after being diagnosed with the Lupus disease. The singer opened up about her health scare in a recent interview with Billboard magazine.
Besides her shocking health revelation, Gomez, 23, also lashed out at the 'a**holes' who assumes she was struggling with addiction problems during her time away from the spotlight in early 2014. Other thought she took a break from music for reasons pertaining to her split with Justin Bieber.

âI was diagnosed with lupus, and Iâve been through chemotherapy. Thatâs what my break was really about. I could've had a stroke," Selena told the mag. "I wanted so badly to say, âYou guys have no idea. Iâm in chemotherapy. Youâre assholes.â I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again," she said.

During an interview with radar Online in May 2014, Selena's grandfather, Ricardo Gomez Sr. also discussed her diagnosis. "Sheâs in treatment. Sheâs getting along pretty good. What worries [us] more is that she doesnât know how to say no. She wonât take time for herself to relax, to eat well," he said at the time. Same time rumors suggested Selena entered a treatment facility to help her deal with pressures caused by both work and personal matters (ie. her split with Justin).

âIâm so f***ing nice to everybody, and everyone is so vile to me. Iâve been working since I was 7. Iâve been a UNICEF ambassador since I was 17. Itâs so disappointing that Iâve become a tabloid story,â Selena further said.
