“She's gone forever”: Selena Gomez’s cousin Priscilla claps back at Justin Bieber fans after her wedding to Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez’s recent wedding to Benny Blanco stirred a lot of reactions online not just joyful congratulations, but a fair share of nostalgia, speculation, and commentary about her past with Justin Bieber. Among those speaking up was her cousin, Priscilla DeLeon, who asked fans to ease off on digging up old relationships. It came in response to a comment that hit a nerve: someone on Justin’s Instagram wrote,

“she’s gone forever,” and Priscilla stepped in.

What followed was a since-deleted message from Priscilla under that fan comment. She urged people to stop bringing Selena’s name into every post and allowed her to live her life without constant reminders of the past.

Why Selena Gomez's cousin Priscilla DeLeon’s Response Made Waves

Priscilla isn’t a random commenter. She’s someone close to Selena Gomez, part of her inner circle, involved enough in her personal life that fans already see her as one of the voices defending Selena.

The comment thread got heated. The fan’s “she’s gone forever” was posted under one of Justin Bieber’s recent Instagram posts, which itself sparked controversy online because of its timing: Selena Gomez was marrying Benny Blanco that same day.

People reacted for two main reasons. First, because old relationships are often re-hashed once one party gets married or makes a major life change there’s a pattern of fans speculating about “what could have been.” Second, because Justin’s post (some have pointed out) included details that made the timing feel especially pointed like using a song related to vows, which some interpreted as unintentionally or intentionally referencing Selena. Fans saw it as poor timing, or insensitive, or at least something that would stir the pot.

Priscilla’s message was sharp but simple: “She’s finally in a place where peace matters more than the past. I just hope people stop dragging her name and let her live her life.”

Critics and supporters alike have reacted. Some say it’s fair people should move on and respect privacy. Others feel Priscilla shouldn’t be engaging in comment sections unrelated to her or drag up the past either. But overall, her response struck a chord because it echoes what many fans of Selena Gomez have been saying quietly: that she deserves to enjoy this new chapter without constant comparisons or reminders of what was.

This incident isn’t just about one fan comment it reflects a larger issue with how society and social media treat public figures. Selena getting married, moving forward, and wanting to be free of past baggage is being treated like news, controversy, or fodder. Priscilla DeLeon’s reaction reminds us all: people change, lives go on, and sometimes what matters most is peace, not the history. Letting Selena live her life without dragging up old stories seems fair given everything has already been put under the spotlight.
