Gomez shared, “There was a very long period of time where I just didn’t know if it was a good idea. I knew, eventually, one day I wanted to maybe just be an actress for a while, and I didn’t know if it would jeopardize things in my life. I don’t know what I’m doing, letting people into my life. And then the moment it was released… I had no choice at that point. And I was relieved. I felt like a huge weight was lifted.“
While Gomez expressed a sense of relief after the documentary’s release, she also acknowledged that she might not revisit it in the near future.
“I felt like I got to say things that I’ve been keeping in for years,” Gomez shared. “It’s very hard for me to watch. I will never watch it again, but I’m very proud of it. I couldn’t have been luckier to have the people that worked on it with me.”
Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me provides an intimate look into the artist’s life, touching on personal struggles and triumphs. Though Gomez may choose not to revisit it, the documentary remains a testament to her strength and resilience.
