Selena Gomez Makes First Event Appearance Since Fall Hospitalization

She reportedly checked herself into a mental health facility 10 months ago over a battle with depression.

But Selena Gomez is back on the red carpet, and looks just as beautiful as ever!

The former Disney Princess showed true strength when she boldly stepped out for the annual WE Day charity event in Los Angeles on Thursday.

In an interview with E!, Selena admitted that she’s staying in as of late.

“As of now, I’m not really going out that much…Cause I needed it.”

Last fall, Selena, 26, was hospitalized twice over a low blood count, which could have resulted from her previous kidney transplant, according to People.

With her second hospitalization, the Wizards of Waverly Place star suffered a panic attack, which caused her to “seek additional help,” a source told the site at the time.

“She has had a tough few weeks and the panic attack in the hospital was the tipping point. She realized she needed to seek additional help for her ongoing emotional issues.

She’s surrounded by close family and has a lot of support. She’s doing better now and is seeking treatment on the East Coast.”

We’re happy to see Selena back, and we certainly agree that getting help and taking time away from the spotlight is the best thing.

Spending time with God and taking comfort in his Word trumps fame and fortune any day!
