Selena Gomez’s loved ones ‘planning intervention’ after clash with Justin Bieber

The bitter explosion, all played out on Instagram, saw Biebs quit the site after being scorned by his former flame for telling fans to lay off his new squeeze on social media.

Gomez apologised — but the incident has taken such a worrying toll on the pop star, withThe Sun reporting her loved ones are preparing to stage an intervention in the next few days.

A friend close to Gomez said: “Justin and Selena’s relationship is notoriously rocky and it hasn’t been easy to see him move on so publicly with Sofia. But Selena is used to seeing him with other women — it’s the combination of being overworked and under pressure. She’s been touring for four months non-stop and won’t rest until mid-December with her Revival tour still to hit Europe and South America. There’s real concern and the plan is to talk to her in the next few days to ask her to consider taking some time off.”

The measure comes ten days after Gomez’s out-of-character outburst over Bieber’s loved-up Insta snaps with the daughter of Lionel Richie in Tokyo.

When he took a pop at followers posting abusive comments about Richie, Gomez added her own, writing: “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol.

“It should be special between you two only. Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you. They were there for you before anyone.”
 

Things got messier when a screenshot of a comment alleged to have been made by Bieber later emerged claiming Gomez had cheated on him with Zayn Malik.

The emotional trauma has reportedly been a kicking too far for the former Disney child star, who has only just picked herself back up after a turbulent few years.
