Selena Gomez wants to prove she doesn't need Justin Bieber to be successful. The 'Come and Get It' singer is determined to make it as a star in her own right and prove her high profile relationship with the 'Boyfriend' star isn't what she is famous for.
A source told Hollywoodlife.com: "One thing Justin used to always throw in her face when they fought was how much he helped her career.
"He's said more than once that without him she never would have made it this far so she really, really wants to prove him wrong. She's in fighter mode right now, so that's helping her cope with her broken heart. She even put Katy Perry's song 'Roar' as her ringtone, she's very motivated to prove how successful she can be without him."
Selena and Justin had an on-off relationship between 2010 and the beginning of this year, when they finally split, but while she still cares, she's very angry with the 20-year-old singer.
The source added: "It's not a cut and dried situation, even after everything he's done to her she does still care about him, but she's also really, really angry at him and she should be.
"Her friends are all telling her to use her anger to get over the pain and Selena is trying to do that."
Kylie Jenner banned from seeing Justin Bieber
Kylie Jenner has been banned from seeing Justin Bieber by her father, Bruce Jenner.
The 16-year-old reality star's father, Bruce Jenner, is not happy with her hanging out with the bad boy singer - who has had numerous run-ins with the law this year and was caught up in fresh controversy this week when a video emerged of him using a racial slur - and doesn't want her seeing him again after she accompanied him to the Floyd Mayweather boxing match in Las Vegas on May 3 and to the Rainbow Room bar in Hollywood on May 27.
A source told Sugarscape.com: "Bruce had thought Justin was hanging out with Kendall, his 18-year-old daughter, with Kylie just tagging along and he was fine with that.
"But when he learned that Bieber had taken Kylie to Las Vegas to see the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight, he hit the roof and immediately called [estranged wife] Kris Jenner, fuming.
"Bruce then phoned Kylie, forbidding her to date Bieber ever again bluntly declaring her doesn't want her influence by his drug use and bad behaviour."
Kris is said to be supportive of Bruce's views and agrees she is too young to be hanging around with the 20-year-old 'Confident' singer.
The source added: "Kylie went crying to Momma, but Kris - who's usually all about the publicity - shocked her by siding with Bruce. She totally agrees Justin's bad news."
