Justin Bieber On Selena Gomez New Song: Why He’s Now Upset About Performance

Instead of congratulating Selena on her big night at the Nov. 23 American Music Awards, Justin is holding back and HollywoodLife.com knows why!

“Justin thinks Selena was exploiting their relationship by being so dramatic on stage and making it seem like he’s the heartbreaker in all of this,” an insider tells Hollywoodlife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

This is a far cry from when Justin considered making a surprise appearance at the AMAs to support Selena.

“At first he wanted to go to the show but then his team convinced him not to go because they said he would look like a fool,” our source explains. “Instead he went to New York to listen to a popular preacher. Every time he gets too preoccupied with Selena, he throws himself into religion. He has not even reached out to Selena yet to congratulate her on her performance.”

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt Sel, especially since we know that she’s always been there for Justin in good times and bad. He should be happy about her success!

Why Justin Skipped Selena’s AMA Performance

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Justin had second thoughts about surprising Selena at the American Music Awards.

“Justin’s team and Pastor Carl Lenz convinced him to skip the American Music Awards and spend time at Hillsong Church in New York City instead. He’s been reminded to spread the gospel rather than dwell in the trappings of Hollywood,” an insider told us EXCLUSIVELY.

Perhaps it was for the best. What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did Selena exploit her troubled relationship with Justin? Are YOU surprised that Justin is upset about her performance? Tell us what YOU think!
