Selena Gomez is stepping back from social media again — for now.The “Only Murders in the Building” actress, 32, revealed the news in an Instagram Story on Tuesday, following days of speculation that she gossiped about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet to Taylor Swift at the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday.“Focusing on what really matters,” she wrote, alongside a video of record producer boyfriend Benny Blanco spending adorable quality time with two kids. “I’m off social media for a while.”The singer, who recently said she may only have one more album in her, briefly left social media in October too.“My heart breaks to see all the horror, hate, violence and terror that’s going on in the world,” she explained at the time.“People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific,” she wrote, noting that “violence needs to be stopped 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.”Oddly enough, in February 2023 she took a social media break shortly after surpassing Jenner as the most followed person on Instagram because she was “too old for this.”Gomez’s latest decision to log off, however, comes days after she attended the 81st Golden Globes and was caught on camera having an animated conversation with best friend Swift, 34, and Keleigh Sperry at their table.Many onlookers — including lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman — believed Gomez was telling her pals that she asked Chalamet to take a picture and his girlfriend, Jenner, told her “no.” Gomez went on to deny that on a comment on E!
