Selena Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, says she’s not ready to watch the star’s My Mind & Me documentary

Selena Gomez’s mother has revealed that watching the star’s heartbreaking documentary – My Mind & Me – would make her “stomach ache” – in a candid new chat on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast.

In the sit-down chat, Mandy Teefey, 46, said she didn’t want to watch Selena, 30’s documentary – which chronicles her mental health struggles – because of how it will affect her physically.

“It’s going to hurt my stomach and put me in that mindset. I’m going to wish I could go protect her,” she explained.

The former Disney star’s new Apple TV+ feature chronicles her life spanning six years as she battles lupus, a bipolar diagnosis and fame.

She also openly discusses a “nervous breakdown” she suffered four years ago, which Teefey doesn’t want to relive.

“We’ve been there and found healing. We’ve passed some of them, and even though it’s something she’s been through, and I didn’t know she had been through it – as a mother, it’s going to affect me,’ said she told the 35-year-old former monk. .

Teefey, who gave birth to Selena aged just 16, says she hopes she ‘can spend the holidays, where I’m not going to see her all the time’, ‘I’m sorry I didn’t made. known.”‘

She continued, “You want to take the pain away from your children. You don’t want them to have to go through this, even though it’s part of the development of who they’re going to be, who we all are – our pain, our suffering and our growth.

And she said that whenever she feels up to watching the movie, “Either I’m going to have to be in that mood…where I’m not getting out of bed today, and I already know I’m going to be a little funky, then watch it and be alone and cry a little.

“And then call her and tell her I’m sorry I wasn’t there then. But you can’t just be a helicopter parent,” she mused.

Jay took to Instagram on Monday to promote the episode to his 12 million followers.

‘Drop a [heart] below if you like this episode of ON Purpose,” he wrote before adding, “@selenagomez thanks for being YOU. Show yourself how you do. And lead with a heart of love.

He went on to talk about the superstar saying, “I’ve loved all of our relationships over the past 4 years and I’m so happy to finally be able to share the conversations we have offline, online with the world.”

“Thank you for trusting me with your truth and I can’t wait for you all to hear this one!”

It comes after Selena’s clash with her kidney donor best friend Francia Raisa spilled onto social media earlier today, after the singer snubbed her in the documentary and named Taylor Swift as her only famous friend.

Gomez left an eyebrow-raising comment under a TikTok video that explained how her former best friend Francia Raisa recently dumped her on Instagram.

The actress shared the comment under a clip that recounted how Francia, 34 – who donated her kidney to Gomez in 2017 – dumped her a day after the premiere of Gomez’s documentary My Mind & Me, detailing his health problems but without mentioning Francia. .

“Sorry I didn’t mention everyone I know,” Selena – who recently said Taylor Swift was her “only friend” in the industry – wrote in the comments.

It comes after Francia wrote “interesting” on an ENews Instagram post that featured a quote from Selena discussing her friendship with Swift.

“I was never in a cool group of girls who were celebrities. My only friend in the industry is really Taylor,” the Only Murders in the Building star told Rolling Stone magazine this week.

Francia has since deleted her comment and dumped Gomez. However, Gomez still follows her on Instagram.

Gomez also spoke about receiving a kidney to Rolling Stone, but his quotes did not mention that Raísa was his donor.
