And, you know, if you read media reports at that time,

Selina will say she was thankful for her mom, like she kept her out of trouble.

She wouldn't let her go to the after parties where whatever nefarious behavior was happening.

She sort of talks about her as this protective force who, at least from the outside, it sounds like she has some appreciation for.

She told me something different.

She said, Oh, it was actually a series of conversations.

And I knew about it.

And actually, you know, I was more worried about her because she wouldn't have this protective field around her anymore.

And she didn't really realize how much I did for her.

But I think we can take that with a grain of salt.

I mean, as Selena became older and more powerful, and honestly probably had other people who were much better suited to manage her, much more savvy, much more connected, she's going, why is my mom here?

Like, I don't want to be hanging out with my mom.

I'm in my early 20s.

Like, this is not fun.

And who knows the psychodrama that was happening.
