Back in November, Selena Gomez left rehab after receiving nearly two months of in-patient treatment. There’s disagreement about the reasons behind her stint in the Tennessee facility, but regardless of what prompted her to seek helps, the consensus in the therapeutic community is that the singer is still in an extremely vulnerable spot. Perhaps that’s why Selena’s fans, friends, and family are so concerned by the news that the young singer is dating The Weeknd . You don’t have to be up on the latest tabloid drama surrounding The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) to know that the wildly talented 26-year-old is frequently associated with clubbing and hard drug use. Tesfaye’s biggest hit, 2015’s “Can’t Feel My Face” is basically an extended cocaine metaphor, and while he’s reportedly scaled back the partying in recent years, he’s also coyly admitted that some of his vices remain. It’s not hard to see why many of her loved ones feel that Selena’s relationship with The Weeknd is poorly timed, at best. “Some of Selena’s close friends and family want to stage an intervention before it’s too late,” a source close to the 24-year-old pop star told Radar. “They fear that this is going to end well.” The source adds that Selena’s inner circle has made an effort to convince her to hold off on the relationship until she’s in a more stable place in her life. Thus far, it seems their pleas are falling on deaf ears: “Everyone has tried to step in at different points in Selena’s life but after so many ups and downs a lot of people close to her are just kind of at a loss as to what to do,” says the insider. “She tells everyone to mind their own business and that it is her life. She is going to do what she wants to do.” It doesn’t look like Gomez will be reconsidering her position any time soon. Sources say she already appears to have fallen harder for Tesfaye than she ever did for her most famous ex, Justin Bieber. Let’s just hope she can embrace the relationship without falling back into any of her old habits.
