Hilary Duff has nothing but good things to say about Selena Gomez
If anyone understands the public pressure of being in the limelight from a young age it's 29-year-old actress and former Disney star Hillary Duff and it's one of the reasons Duff has sympathy for Gomez. They've all been through it, but on a different levels and they have each faced scrutiny from the media. This world has become far more gossip oriented which makes it harder to live a personal life.
During an interview on JustJenny Duff shared, "I think it’s hard. I just feel for them. When I was just coming on to the scene was when all the gossip stuff started, but now its at such an extreme level. And there’s just such a focus on personal life. It must be a really tough struggle.”
The Younger actress seems to be nothing but supportive and empathetic of Gomez and she said that she believes that a support system, fans and talent are what can get her through the hard times. "I think the saving grace is that she makes great music and so people love her. People read it and it falls out of their heads so fast now. The public is smart [about] gossip magazines and that they're just trying to make money. I'm sure people gossip about it with their friends for a second, but at the end of the day, they love those people and they love their music."
Their Disney roots have given these ladies the strong bond to be able to relate to what the other one is going through.
