Selena Gomez admits feeling ‘ashamed’ after posing naked on Revival album cover: ‘I’m not an overly sexual person’

Selena Gomez fans may be shocked to learn that the singer isn’t a fan of her famous Revival album cover, which sees her posing nude. The former Disney star released the album in 2015 and the artwork features a black and white image of her sitting on the floor, cross-legged while completely naked and using only her hands to protect her modesty.

At the time, it was seen as a move to separate Selena, 29, from her teeny-bop days into adulthood but she now reflects on it as being a decision she regrets.

During a new roundtable, Selena’s Only Murders In The Building season two co-star Amy Schumer, said: ‘Someone like Selena, who was sexualised at such a young age, but you’ve just rejected that and have really found your own style and your own presence.‘Because I know they put you through a system and make you feel like this is how you have to do it.’ Selena then responded during the Hollywood Reporter interview: ‘It’s really unfair.

I actually did an album cover and I was really ashamed after I did it.‘I had to work through those feelings because I realised it was attached to something deeper that was going on. ‘It was a choice that I wasn’t necessarily happy that I made, but I think that I’ve done my best, at least I try to be myself.’ The former Wizards of Waverly Place actress explained that while she’s ‘not an overly sexual person’, she does like to ‘feel sexy’ sometimes and that ‘doesn’t mean it’s for somebody else’. ‘It can be for me,’ she stated.
