Selena Gomez quits social media after awkward Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet drama
Selena Gomez has quit social media amid all the drama surrounding the singer, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at the Golden Globes.
The annual show took place on Sunday evening (7 January), and it was full of many talking points.
Rumors about tension circulated online after an alleged incident in which Gomez had approached Chalamet for a photograph, only to be denied after Jenner allegedly wouldn't let Chalamet pose with her.

TMZ approached the Wonka actor to ask about the alleged incident, to be told that there was absolutely nothing going on, with the Dune star responding simply 'no'.
When the outlet also asked if he and Gomez, with whom he co-starred in A Rainy Day in New York, were okay, he responded 'of course'.
The alleged snub went viral after a video of Gomez whispering something to Taylor Swift emerged online.
The clip appears to show the pair spilling the piping hot tea together, with many fans taking to the internet to speculate about what they could have been talking about.
Suggesting what Gomez might have been saying, one wrote: “I asked for a picture with him and she (Kylie Jenner) said no” – Selena Gomez 'with Timothée?' *Selena nods*"
Another wrote: "She was making sure to YELL that loud so everyone could hear her lmfaoooo," while a second added: "I just love Taylor's face."
But it seems that lip reading may not have gotten it right on this occasion, as Gomez' reps have put out a statement clarifying that she didn't even ask Chalamet and Jenner for a photo at the event.
In a statement provided to Entertainment Tonight, Gomez's reps said: "Selena never went up to Timothée and Kylie and asked for a photo."
Meanwhile, a source close to Gomez told People 'she was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie' and 'never even saw or spoke to them'.
Well, following all that, Gomez says she is not taking a break from social media to focus on 'what really matters' - her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, and family.
Posting a photo of her nearest and dearest on Instagram, Gomez penned: "I'm off social for a while. I'm focusing on what really matters."
And as fans will certainly know, this isn't the first time Gomez has taken a break from social media.
The singer has been extremely open about her mental health over the years and, like many, takes frequent breaks from social media in a bid to protect her mental wellbeing.
