Selena Gomez hits back at Justin Bieber “haters”

Justin Bieber’s girlfriend Selena Gomez is using her new single to hit back at the star’s jealous fans.

The singer says her new track Who Says, which she debuted last night on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show in the US, is dedicated to “all the haters.”

She explained: “I feel like my fans need this right now. Especially with Twitter and Facebook, it’s just really negative for me.”

The 18-year-old Disney star has received death threats from angry Bieber fans since their romance hit the headlines, and even had her Twitter account hacked by an angry mob.

She continued: “Within that world there’s just such easy access to people’s feelings.

“You can get a thousand wonderful comments but just one will throw you off and that’s how it is for me.

“So I think this song is a great message for my fans and it really touched me when I heard it.

“Basically it’s to the haters. It’s to the people that try to bring you down.”

The couple first set tongues wagging when they were photographed looking cosy in a Philadelphia restaurant in December.

They were later spotted holding hands on holiday in the Caribbean, and attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party together last month.

Justin, 17, recently gushed to The People about his girl, saying: “She is a really great person.

“And I think she has the best smile in the world.”
