Selena Gomez has gone off the grid after announcing she is taking a break from touring.
A source tells Radar Online: ‘Those I’ve been talking to say they haven’t heard directly from Selena in a few days — she’s either already in rehab or has shut off her phone.’
The sourced added: ‘Her mum Mandy has been ‘completely unreachable’ for the past few weeks as she’s been dealing with this.’
The Radar article goes on to allege that Gomez’s family held an intervention for the singer after they became worried about her drug use, ‘including ‘recreational’ dabbling in Lunesta, Ambien, Klonopin and Xanax,’ the insider claimed.
Earlier this week, Gomez announced she is taking a well-earned break as she is suffering from anxiety and depression.
‘As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,’ Selena said in a statement. ‘I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.
‘I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.’
