Selena Gomez's Mom Fires Back at Haters Accusing Her of 'Tearing Down' Her Kids

Mandy Teefey, Selena Gomez's mother, has fiercely defended herself against online trolls who accused her of "tearing down" her daughters. The drama started when she shared a lighthearted post on Instagram, but some fans interpreted it negatively. One commenter claimed she was a bad parent and neglecting her own mental health.

Mandy didn't hold back. In a now-deleted reply, she wrote: "Thank you for explaining my family's mental health concerns. I've spent my entire life and every dime I have to help people with mental illness. I've lost many loved ones to this battle. I've fought these wars since I was 14." She emphasized that strangers have no right to judge her parenting or her life choices.

The mother of Selena also challenged the hater: "What have you done today to make someone's day better? If nothing, go do that. Hate is the problem, not me." She added that she doesn't need validation as a "parental influencer" and reminded everyone of her long track record in mental health advocacy.

Mandy urged people to channel their energy positively: "Stop the hate. Do something good. Being mean is easy and selfish." She concluded by saying she has built walls to protect herself but won't allow attacks on those she fights for.
