She's proud of her work!
Selena Gomez just addressed the controversy surrounding her new Netflix show 13 Reasons Why, and the star isn't going to apologize for covering the tough stuff. People are up in arms because they think the series glamorizes teen suicide, but the "Come & Get" songstress thinks the sensitive subject needs to be discussed.
"We stayed very true to the book and that's initially what Jay Asher created, was a beautifully tragic, complicated yet suspenseful story, and I think that's what we wanted to do," the singer told the AP about the TV adaptation of the young adult novel, which she executive produces.
"We wanted to do it justice and, yeah, [the backlash is] going to come no matter what. It's not an easy subject to talk about, but I'm very fortunate with how it's doing," she added.
It's all anyone can talk about and watch, so she must be doing something right!
