"I wanted so badly to say, 'You guys have no idea. I'm in chemotherapy. You're assholes,'" she recalled. "I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again," Billboard quoted the singer. Following the revelation, Gomez checked into a rehab for a brief period of two weeks.
Meanwhile, as Gomez decided to move away from the limelight and take some time out to focus on her health, her best friend Taylor Swift offered Gomez to stay with her while she is recovering. However, the singer gave up her bestie's offer and decided to stay in a strict rehab centre just outside of Nashville, under guidance of professional experts.
