Selena Gomez is turning off the drama switch.
The actress-singer, 31, took to Instagram Stories Tuesday evening, saying it was time for a social media break amid brewing drama over an incident at the Golden Globes Sunday involving Timothée Chalamet, 28, and Kylie Jenner, 26, as well as her pal Taylor Swift, 34.
‘I’m off social for a while,’ the Grand Prairie, Texas native said. ‘I’m focusing on what really matters.’
The Only Murders in the Building star accompanied the statement by a brief clip she shot of her boyfriend Benny Blanco, 35, and a pair of young kids.
The latest controversy surrounding the actress-singer erupted Sunday at the Golden Globe awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

At one point in the ceremony, cameras focused on Gomez as she was somberly chatting with Swift and actress Keleigh Sperry, 31, the wife of actor Miles Teller, 36.
Speculation ensued that Jenner was not OK with Gomez posing for a picture with Chalamet, as Gomez nodded affirmatively after Sperry was heard saying, ‘With Timothee?’
Forensic lipreader Jeremy Freeman told DailyMail.com that Gomez told Swift and Sperry, ‘He didn’t want a picture with me, he said no,’ to which Sperry said, ‘Timothee?’
Swift was seen whispering in the ear of Gomez, who responded to her, ‘I tried, I couldn’t, it’ll upset em.’
On Monday, Gomez denied she was speaking Chalamet and Jenner as she posted in the comment section of an E! News post about the incident.
The post was captioned, ‘At tea time, we’d love to know if Selena Gomez was really gossiping about Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet at this year’s #GoldenGlobes.’
Gomez replied, ‘Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business.’
Chalamet also denied having any issues with Gomez on Monday, saying they were on good terms.

Gomez and Chalamet had previously worked with one another on the Woody Allen movie A Rainy Day In New York, playing the respective love interests Chan and Gatsby.
Gomez has past said she thinks taking social media breaks at times make for a healthy decision, revealing that at one point, she took more than four years off from going online – letting her assistant run her account.
Appearing on Good Morning America in April of 2022, Gomez said staying offline had changed her life completely.
‘I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people,’ said Gomez, who got back on personally in early 2023. Last year, she announced she was taking a break from her social media on two occasions.
The first came in February, as she was involved in a controversy involving Swift and Hailey Bieber, the supermodel wife of her ex, Justin Bieber.
‘I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, ’cause this is a little silly,’ Gomez said on TikTok Live. ‘And I’m 30, I’m too old for this, but I love you guys so much and I will see you guys sooner than later – I’m gonna just take a break from everything.’
Gomez took another break from the platform on October 30, just more than two weeks after Hamas’ October 7 attack on an Israeli music festival began the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
At the time she explained why she had not taken a sharp public stance on the topic.
