Gomez expressed her disproval of a cover story for Billboard magazine’s 2017 Woman of the Year issue that included details about her home. The “Fetish” singer, who reactivated the account shortly after, shared a heartfelt photo via the account on Sunday, January 7, showing her outside her childhood home in Texas.
“The home I grew up in, from birth to 12.. (no one was home when I knocked this time lol) I visit this place every chance I get,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself sitting on the front porch steps. “In many ways it very well could have been better than my life today, but I’m grateful for a voice that can enable change today. Even when I don’t know how to do it well or actually want it. I love you Grand Prairie. Thank you.”
Since unfollowing multiple accounts, Gomez made a snapshot of her mom, Mandy Teefey, her profile picture. A source previously told Us that Teefey “has trust issues” over Gomez’s newly rekindled romance with Justin Bieber, and Bieber is hoping to that Gomez’s family “gives him another chance.”
