The Impact on Her Career and Confidence
The Only Murders in the Building star, who has been frequently spotted with a vape pen over the years, acknowledged the physical consequences of her actions. Addressing her fans directly, she stated: "It’s so stupid and it’s changed my voice so if you guys don’t like listening to my voice, that’s totally understandable. I don’t mind, just don’t listen. But I am really excited, because I stopped and I just hope I can keep it up. It’s really hard, but I know if you are going through something, you can get through it too. It sucks."
A History of Public Habit
Gomez’s relationship with vaping has been documented on several occasions. Over the past few years, she has been photographed using the device during various public appearances, including outings with friends and private moments. In previous social media interactions, Gomez had addressed her health concerns more generally, noting instances where her throat would swell, emphasizing that she values being honest with her audience about these personal challenges.
Embracing Growth and Moving Forward
Despite the challenges posed by her addiction, Gomez remains focused on her well-being and personal growth. Reflecting on the aging process, she expressed a positive outlook: "I don’t feel like it’s a bad thing. Getting older has been so fun. I’m not scared at all. I love getting older. Things are going to change and things are going to sag, but you’re alive. I think age is just a number in many ways."
Following her admission, Gomez continued to share updates with her followers, posting a series of lighthearted photos, including a mirror selfie and images highlighting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, signaling her commitment to moving forward with transparency.
