"It's a relief. I'd rather somebody say I did a terrible job
than talk about my personal life. So, I feel very proud," Gomez
said at the Cannes Film Festival a day after the premiere of the
film, which received a standing ovation for nine minutes.
The former Disney star added that she made up just a small part
of the "incredible masterpiece" that is "Emilia Perez," which
also stars Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon.
The film directed by Jacques Audiard about a Mexican drug lord
who transitions from male to female and starts a nonprofit
dedicated to finding the bodies of disappeared people, is in the
running for the festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or.
Gomez, who also co-stars with Steve Martin and Martin Short in
the Hulu streaming series "Only Murders in the Building," is the
most-followed woman on Instagram with 428 million followers.
Such a large following puts her life under intense public
scrutiny and generates headlines that speculate about her
personal relationships as well as mental and physical health.
The singer who has posted candidly about having lupus and
bipolar disorder told broadcaster NBC's "Today" show this month
that she has decided to limit comments on her account to only
friends as a way to set boundaries.
