Despite what one moronic designer said recently, Selena Gomez is not ugly.
She is very, very pretty in fact.
This very clear fact said, the singer did just frighten the ever-living heck out of her fans via her appearance… although not for the reason you may think.
Gomez didn’t get a weird haircut or don some unusual ensemble on the red carpet of some event.
Instead, the former Disney Channel star returned to her acting roots by teaming up with her close friend, Canadian artist and director Petra Collins, for a new strange and nightmarish short horror film.
It’s titled “Love Story.” But that appears to be a misnomer.
Rolled out exclusively on Instagram’s new long-form video platform IGTV, the film is filled with disturbing imagery, as teased by a few excerpts Collins shared late yesterday.
In an extended clip, for example, Gomez is totally nude and taking a bath with a prosthetic face in the water.
She wears the eerioe flesh on various parts of her body, including her own face, before it appears as if she leans in to kiss it.
We told you: This is creepy stuff!
Oh, and Gomez also sucks on a singular eyeball at one point and lies at the legs of a woman with a face made out of a dismembered fingers.
Later, the ex-Justin Bieber lover just casually scrapes icing off her own leg with a knife — and eats it.
Many fans appear to be legitimately upset by this footage, accusing Gomez of having become someone they don’t recognize and apparently don’t like very much.
“I think you changed Selena. I miss Selena in 2016 and I want in 2016 and I want it back … I’m afraid,” one fan commented in response to the footage, while another added:
“This has a serial killer vibe to it!”
It’s certainly true that Selena has grown up a lot.
She isn’t the innocent Disney star who first burst on the scene as the lead cast member in Wizards of Waverly Place.
But there’s nothing wrong with that. People grow and evolve and change. This ought to be encouraged for the most part.
Collins and Gomez previously worked together on the singer’s 2017 music videos for “Bad Liar” and “Fetish,” the latter of which featured its own fair share of strange imagery (including Gomez flailing around the kitchen, eating lipstick and glass).
The two are very close and have often talked about a collaboration of some kind.
Moreover, Gomez has never been shy about her affection for the horror genre.
“I love The Exorcist and the things that come from inside you, the things that are a little more subtle, and things that you deal with from inwards,” Collins told Vanity Fair last May, adding:
“I feel like it’s something Selena and I both love talking about … that topic is sort of dear to us.”
For her part, the 13 Reasons Why producer opened up about working with Collins in a July 2017 interview with Dazed:
“People don’t know but my personal life ties into the work we do together because [she] knows things about my life that nobody knows and I know a lot about [her] life that nobody knows.
“It comes out, somehow.”
