Selena Gomez Tells Paparazzi ‘You’re Scaring Me’

From Harper's BAZAAR

Selena Gomez isn’t having the best of times at the moment.

Last month, she reportedly called time on her on/off relationship with Justin Bieber, has unfollowed her BFF Petra Collins on Instagram following a rumored fall outs, and has most recently been referenced in her ex boyfriend The Weekend’s latest single "Call Out My Name."

And now, the 25-year-old is being used as cannon fodder by the world’s paparazzi and tabloids, much to the star’s fear.

In a heartbreaking video taken last Wednesday, the "Bad Liar" singer warns a crowd of paparazzi to stay away, telling them: "You’re scaring me."

The 30-second video shows Gomez exiting a Starbucks in Newport Beach, California when a crowd of paparazzi swarm around her. When one attempts to ask the star about her relationship with Bieber, the Texas-born artist asks if they would respect her privacy for the day.

"Selena! Is Justin just a little brother to you?" the paparazzo asks.

"Do you guys mind if I just have the rest of the day? Because you’re kind of scaring me," she replies.

However, the photographer tells the star that there are plenty of paparazzi around, resulting in a "competitive" nature among the group to snap the star.

In reply, Gomez meekly apologizes, telling the paparazzi "It's okay. God bless."

While Gomez’s response is respectful, she has no need to apologize to a group of men and women stalking her every move on a daily basis. She has all the right in the world to ask for privacy, especially if she feels threatened and scared for her safety.

The singer-turned-actress’ run-in with the paps comes amid Bieber’s slew of Instagram posts in which he shows off his love of fitness.

Whether it’s a game of football or run through the streets of Los Angeles, Bieber is proving to the world – and his ex – that he’s keeping fit and healthy during his rumored break from Gomez.

We’re happy to see the pair prioritizing their health and well-being during this difficult time.
