Selena Gomez Calls Out ELLE for Omitting Her Organization Work in Interview

Taking to Instagram, the singer says that the purposes of her interview with the magazine are 'my work with A21, my new collection with Coach, and some new music.'

AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez is disappointed by the content of a cover feature commissioned by Elle U.S.

The singer was interviewed for the magazine's October 2018 issue, and opened up on subjects including her former relationship with Justin Bieber, her controversial decision to work with Woody Allen on "A Rainy Day" in New York and her response to friend Demi Lovato's recent overdose.

However, on Monday, September 4 Selena posted a lengthy rant on Instagram emphasising her dissatisfaction with the final copy, which largely ignored her work with human trafficking organisation A21, as well as her new collection with fashion brand, Coach.

"Speaking from my heart for over an hour to someone who puts those thoughts into paid words can be hard for me. The older I get the more I want my voice to be mine," the 26-year-old wrote alongside a selection of photos of her working with A21. "The purpose of my interview was three fold. My work with A21, my new collection with Coach, and some new music."

She further explained that while she was aware her personal life would be addressed to cater to "the pace of our 'social' generation," she was unhappy that her "truth" was not reflected in the body of words.

"I understand that reporters are working to grab the attention of a reader, however I will always work to ensure that what is public represents my truth. I'm a bit bummed but rarely surprised."

The "It Ain't Me" hitmaker also drew attention to the reporter's decision to include lyrics from songs that will feature on her upcoming third album - and appeared to throw shade that they were revealed before the record's release.

Alright. Speaking from my heart for over an hour to someone who puts those thoughts into paid words can be hard for me. The older I get the more I want my voice to be mine. This is all apart of my work within an industry that’s been around longer than all of us have been. The purpose of my interview was three fold. My work with A21, my new collection with Coach, and some new music. As I’m aware there will always be interests in one’s personal life because that’s the pace of our ‘social’ generation. I’m grateful for my position and I will always find ways to make my job more about others and giving back— all while having the best time with my music, fashion, film and my love for learning about the world that I’m eager to tap into more and more. Church is a name for something far more personal. There’s always agenda seeking information on such a subject and I understand why. Rarely do I mention church (and I didn’t) but I’ll always feel comfortable talking about my values and beliefs. I respect that from everyone and anyone. I understand that reporters are working to grab the attention of a reader, however I will always work to ensure that what is public represents my truth. I’m a bit bummed but rarely surprised. Y’all know me and my heart. I can’t help it. So I’ll post some of MY photos from the collection and work with A21. My heart. And maybe edit my actual lyrics as you will all hear it soon 😊 I love you guys to the moon and back. For more information on the work I do with A21 please, please visit link in my bio. So much more on that soon!
