Selena Gomez’s official reason for cancelling the Australian leg of her Stars Dance tour is that she needed some time for rest and relaxation. That’s not enough for the tabloids, though, as many try to read between the lines of Gomez’s statement.
Back on Dec. 19, Gomez and her team said that she didn’t want to disappoint her fans, “But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be.”
When the statement came out, fans were left wondering if something was really wrong with the Spring Breakers actress. A source told E! News that she is OK and that she just really needed a break. “She wants to spend time with her family, especially for the holidays,” the source said.
But the Huffington Post notes that PopDust has a source that disputes this. The site claims that she’s dealing with symptoms of Lupus, an autoimmune disease.
“Selena has been going full throttle the past few years and her Lupus is really catching up with her right now,” PopDust’s source said. “She knows that she needs to take some time to address the disease and look after herself better if she wants to live a full and healthy life.”
Gomez’s rep offered “no comment” when approached by the Huffington Post to respond to the rumor.
Although Gomez has been taking a break from performing, she hasn’t stopped sparking other rumors and using social media. Earlier today, we reported that Lil Romeo posted a picture of her on Instagram, which sparked speculation that they’re dating. The 21-year-old has also constantly using Instagram today, interacting with fans and even calling a bully out.
