Can you imagine sitting down to watch The Idol, the most controversial series of 2023, and realising that your ex-boyfriend might have written the whole goddamn show about you? That’s what a source close to Selena Gomez has claimed. Huge, if true.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, the source alleged that Selena is “irked” by the similarities in the series. And considering that Selena used to date creator and star of the series, Abel Tesfaye (FKA The Weeknd), there’s certainly a possibility that he’s taken her situation into account.
“The similarities between Selena’s life and Jocelyn’s life are just uncanny,” the source said.
“Being [that] she actually dated The Weeknd, it is even more creepy for her. Her real-life pain was used for entertainment value and that really irks her out.
