“I truly believe that there is power in being vulnerable and telling people when you need help or when you want help—that is not shameful,” Gomez explained in a video from the event that has since gone viral on Twitter.

“So yeah, I shared that I can’t carry a child. Yeah, I shared that I have bipolar… fk off,” she said, met with applause from the audience.

Gomez went on to explain that this is simply part of her reality.

“And I only want to be an advocate for women, and that’s why I share, that’s why I like to be honest.”

She emphasized that everyone is dealing with something, reminding others not to feel ashamed of their struggles.

“Everybody is going through something. I don’t have it all put together. I’m not a, you know, whatever… I am me and that’s all I can be.”

Earlier this year, the singer and actress shared with Vanity Fair the emotional reality of being unable to carry her own children due to health concerns.

“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she revealed.

“I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”

Selena explained that she had always imagined having children the traditional way.

But over time, she has come to terms with this part of her life, and now embraces other paths to motherhood, such as surrogacy or adoption.

“I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.”

Despite the challenges, Selena remains optimistic about the future. “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different.”

But no matter how her journey unfolds, she’s clear about one thing: “At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
