The 29-year-old actress, Selena Gomez believes she was placed in an “unfair” position during the shoot, and she has admitted that it made her feel “ashamed.”
Selena shared: “I actually did an album cover and I was really ashamed after I did it.
“I had to work through those feelings because I realized it was attached to something deeper that was going on. And it was a choice that I wasn’t necessarily happy that I made, but I think that I’ve done my best, at least I try to be myself.”
Selena admits she’s “not an overly sexual person”.
Speaking during a roundtable discussion with The Hollywood Reporter, Selena added: “Sometimes I like to feel sexy but that doesn’t mean it’s for somebody else. It can be for me.”

The singer previously spoke about the event in a 2020 interview, describing how she felt under pressure on set.
For the cover of her 2015 album ‘Revival,’ the brunette beauty posed in a way that made her appear nude, but Selena admitted that the black-and-white shoot didn’t exactly align with her real-life demeanor.
She said in 2020: “I just did things that weren’t really me.
“There was pressure to seem more adult on my album, ‘Revival’. [I felt] the need to show skin … I really don’t think I was [that] person.”
Now, however, Selena feels like she has much more control over her own career.
And the chart-topping star suggested she’ll no longer be dictated to by people within the entertainment industry.
She explained: “I am in full control of my life and everything that I do, what is out there, everything.”
