Justin Bieber ‘isn’t to blame’ for Selena Gomez’s rift with mother Mandy

Selena and Mandy's relationship was strained long before Justin re-entered the picture

Justin Bieber isn’t to blame for Selena’s Gomez’s family issues, despite previous reports.

After it was reported that Justin had caused Selena and her mother Mandy to get into a massive fight, sources say Selena and Mandy’s relationship was actually strained long before Justin was back in the picture.

“Selena has always said that the one person that means the most to her is her mom, Mandy,” a source explains told E! News.

“But still, they’ve had a really complicated relationship and have gone through a lot of ups and downs.”

The insider added that Selena and Mandy didn’t speak for an “entire year” after the singer parted ways with Mandy as her manager in 2014.

“It caused a huge rift in their relationship. Mandy wouldn’t even let Selena talk to her sister for a long time,” the source said.

“Mandy and Selena’s stepdad [Brian Teefey] really did everything they could for Selena so when she fired her it took a toll on Mandy emotionally and professionally.”

The source also said that Mandy had a “really hard time” getting her and Selena’s Netflix series 13 Reasons Why off the ground.

In March 2017, Selena and Mandy, who executive produced the Netflix drama, walked the red carpet together at the premiere of 13 Reasons Why in Los Angeles.

“Mandy lost her clout as a manager after Selena left. It caused a major rift in their relationship but they eventually reconnected,” the source said.

Now, Selena is said to be leaning on Justin, who she recently reunited with.

“Selena is dealing with some family issues at the moment and Justin is there for her. He doesn’t want to cause any problems between Selena and her mom… Justin and Selena are still together,” an insider added.
