Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez.
This relationship is an example of right person at the wrong time.
Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez met some time around mid 2015 . They have several mutual friends and they obviously attended lot of events in common .
At this point of time , Selena was not over Justin. Justin had made sure she wasn't. Maybe if Justin had not come into her life again only to leave the next second (like he always does) , Charlie and Selena would have lasted.
Keeping the incident as short as possible : Justin wanted to promote his album Purpose. He decided to contact Selena and ask her to hang out only for the sake of publicity and attention. However , he did not tell Selena that . He only told her that he wanted be in her life again and manipulated her into agreeing to meet up. Selena was on cloud 9 that Justin wanted to be back with her. According to my sources , she called her friends up and bragged about Justin wanting her back.

November 20 2015 : Justin and Selena hang out near the papparazi.
After hanging out with her , she went home and he went to a party without her . He did not even invite her . He got his publicity , he got the attention for his album . So , Justin said adios and left.
However , Selena was still convinced he wanted her and did not know that he was only using her. So she called , texted , called again and texted again but he completely ghosted her . Justin changed his number and moved on without a second thought.
He started publicly thirsting over random girls and hanging out with other girls including Hailey baldwin . All this happened less than a month after Justin hung ou-......I mean used Selena for attention.

After Justin left her, Selena was confused and heartbroken. He had really manipulated her into believing a fairytale and she fell for it . She was lost and vulnerable and was looking for any form of emotional support . She wanted someone to talk to and someone who would be there for her. There Charlie Puth was. He became that someone . They started hanging out more and more , mostly in hotel rooms or other friend's houses. Selena thought of him as only a friend but Charlie started liking her as more than a friend.
Selena would call Charlie over to her hotel room and he would get super excited thinking they were going to hook up but nothing would happen . They would just talk about the most random things. Honestly, this was a real douche move . Charlie convinced himself Selena was trying to manipulate him because she would not sleep with him (we'll get to that later).
Yes! I'm gonna get in . And then nothing would happen.
- Charlie Puth about hanging out with Selena.
When they hung out , Selena would talk to him about Justin and how she thought he was mistreating her . Charlie began thinking she was giving out hints that he was the one for her. Selena . This is where the drama begins.
Charlie wrote We don't talk anymore when he was in Japan . This is what Charlie said about the song:
I wrote ['We Don't Talk Anymore'] in Japan. I was in my hotel room, at the Mandarin Hotel, looking out at this wonderful city from the top floor, and I called my guitarist who was in the next room and I said, 'Dude, can you come to my room really quickly and play this guitar line?' I didn't have a microphone, so I recorded his guitar with my iPhone, and I put it in the mix. Then, we went to the Philippines the next day, and I put the kick drum in.
A bad thing about Charlie is that he cannot stick to one story and keeps changing narratives according to what suits him. He changed the story behind the song about a million times . He even indirectly said it was about Selena at one point of time and that is actually really funny because this is what he said in 2015 :
I remember a conversation I had had with my friend. He had just broken up with this girl, and I was like, 'So, are you going to talk to her anymore?' And he was like, 'Nah, we don't talk anymore.' I was trying to cheer him up, so I did a dumb little face, and I was like, [singing] 'We don't talk anymore.' I was just trying to cheer him up, but it became a cool melody, and I realized that this guitar beat fit perfectly over it.
The song was not even about his relationship . It was about his friend's.
Charlie then played the song for Selena to impress her. He thought the song would be perfect for her since her and Justin were not talking at the time and that is what Selena mostly spoke about. This is what Charlie said :
I met up with Selena, and she went through a very public relationship, on and off, and she could just relate to the song and the lyrical sentiment. I was playing the song for her, and she just started singing the second verse. I got chills. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, that sounds so real. You need to sing on it.' And she said yes.
They recorded Selena's part in his closet and it apparently took fifteen minutes in total. Then apparently , Selena started dancing around and that is the video we see of them. (So freaking adorable honestly).
On January 2016 , they went to the Golden globes together but seperately . Meaning they came and left together but they did not walk the carpet together. Selena took Charlie's phone and they were snapping together .. blah blah blah
Moving on to the actual story . Selena and Charlie were not officially dating around March 2016 . She loved him as a friend but as mentioned earlier , he was falling for her hard. So , when she would talk to him about Justin all the time, Charlie grew more and more annoyed at their relationship. He hated when she spoke about Justin, especially hearing how Justin treated her. He began getting angry at Justin. Charlie hated that Selena was so hung up on him even though he left her .
On 11th March 2016 , he yelled out "F*ck you Justin Bieber" in the middle of his concert at Dallas. Justin did not know that Selena and Charlie were hanging out . If he had known , he would have made sure Selena stopped doing so . Justin does not like when Selena hangs out with other guys . Everytime Selena does , he contacts her and ensures she is still hung up on him. Now , Charlie got pretty frustrated that Justin was coming in between him and Selena . He did not realise that he was publicly telling Justin there might be something going on between him and Selena .
Selena was shit scared of what Justin would think of her. She thought Justin would hate her for talking to Charlie so she practically begged Charlie to post an apology. She called him nearly crying and asked him to say something. For Selena's sake , Charlie apologised .
After he apologised , I'm not even joking; a while after he apologised , Justin contacted Selena. Justin had heard that Charlie was getting a little too close to Selena and his creepy obsession over Selena kicked in . Justin has a strong belief that even though he hangs out with other girls , Selena is not allowed to hang out with other guys . So , Justin contacted her and invited her to a concert and to hang out later.
Selena was on cloud 9 again and she told Charlie about how Justin wanted to meet with her. Imagine the frustration that you got when you read that . Now multiply it by ten . That is how annoyed Charlie was .He ended up deleting the apology tweets shortly after. Apparently Charlie tried telling Selena indirectly that she should not go but there was no stopping Selena when it came to Justin . Justin later posted a picture of him and Selena with caption 'feels' to convince her that he was being genuine.
Selena ended up going to the concert . Justin dedicated a few songs to her , atleast that is what he told her . Then she visited him back stage only to know that Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian were there , both of whom have hooked up with Justin before. We are not sure what happened there but according to some sources , nothing worth mentioning happened .
After , Justin once again left her , completely ghosting her and ignoring any calls and messages. It's like a never ending cycle. Selena got sick of that and decided she wanted to move on.
Now , let's get to the details everyone waited for :
Charlie and Selena have kissed before . As much as Selena loved to deny it, they were more than best friends and she liked him as more than a friend too.
We cannot tell exactly when but some time around end of April or May , they began getting closer. They went on dates and all but they were NEVER in an actual relationship, it was just dating around. Selena and him were on tour in seperate places sometimes . The worst part about it is that Selena was still not over Justin when she started 'dating' Charlie . He had been contacting her non stop (probably because he found out she might be dating Charlie) and she was not replying to him because she was with Charlie . Justin tried contacting her through mutual friends too and she just refused to reply.
However since she was not over him entirely , she could not completely commit to the relationship. She liked Charlie a lot , loved even but she was not ready for a relationship. Charlie on the other hand was elated that he could finally be with her.
It was all a smooth ride until July 2016 . On July 9th , Selena and him performed 'we don't talk anymore' together in Anaheim , California . Selena introduced him as her best friend because she wanted to keep the relationship hidden.
Remember the earlier mention of Selena not being able to fully commit to the relationship? That became a problem . In simpler words , Selena did not want to have s*x and Charlie wanted to. Charlie began seeing other girls behind Selena's back and hooking up with them. This happened only a few times until she caught him. As dramatic as it sounds , Selena did actually ask how long it had been going on. Apparently , she did not even get mad . She just walked out and they ended up breaking up . This incident is the root of the song 'how long' and 'kinda crazy' .
When Charlie was 'cheating' on her , he would turn his phone off and ignore her calls and texts. In Selena's song Kinda Crazy that she wrote for him , she says :
Been dodging phone calls lately
But still texting me, "Baby"
Yeah, I think you're kind of crazy
Charlie's song how long that he wrote about Selena , he says :
She said "You been creepin' 'round on me
While you're callin' me "baby"
Then on August 2 2016 , Charlie releases the video of we don't talk anymore for the sole purpose of telling everyone that him and Selena had broken up.
Charlie Puth's Obsession commences
here's the aftermath.
Charlie gets obsessed with the relationship he had with Selena after she left . He released attention which was about her , then how long and then a few more songs. He convinced himself Selena manipulated him because she would not have s*x with him .
You can watch the whole interview here : https://youtu.be/P7Hp5SYHNuY .
Charlie makes up a whole story about the incident in the attention video happening in real life. Maybe it did actually happen but he was not talking about Selena there. Charlie was trying to do everything in his power to convince himself and others that Selena manipulated him and that he was the victim in the relationship. It took him a very long time to realise that he was the one at fault because he cheated on her.
In the Genius interview , he says the most horrible stuff about her (indirectly) and spins a fake narrative to make himself the victim . Like dude sit tf down , she just did not want to have s*x with you, it's not that deep.... . Charlie exaggerated everything that happened between them . It was a two month 'relationship' and he has been obsessing over it for 4+ years. It is true that they loved each other and their split messed them up but that relationship was a mess when it was still going on too. Selena was also kind of a big bitch for leading Charlie on like that . Like, why get into a "relationship" if you are still hung up over your ex?
Coming back to the topic of Charlie changing narratives every two minutes , here is proof that he is NOT reliable :
In 2015 , he says we don't talk anymore is about his friend's relationship.
In 2018 , he said in an interview that :
Then in 2021 , he says this :
Like.......how does that change.....?
In 2018 , Charlie writes an apology song for Selena and tweets this out :
What is track 6? Patient . The song he said was the last in his story about Selena.
In 2020 , he writes a song in response to Selena's song Boyfriend called Girlfriend :) . Fans start speculating that it might be about Selena and he tweets this :
Then in August 2020 , Selena releases a cooking show:
and then.......
JUSTIN'S POSSESIVENESS
Let's end this post with a little bit more inside info on Justin's possesive behaviour towards Selena . If Selena and somebody fall out or stop talking , Justin will instantly get in the middle and become close with them . For example , Charlie and Selena stopped talking and Justin decides to use this oppurtunity to show everyone that Charlie and him are on very good terms even though they have never spoken before. Before you guys leave the post saying I am liar and all this sounds like a watpadd fanfiction , here is proof :
Justin reached out to Charlie and asked him to promote the Changes album . Unfortunately for Justin , Charlie is not good at pr . So he ended up telling the world that Justin reached out. Scooter called Charlie and literally yelled at him to change the caption because people were starting to poke fun at Justin . So , in a hurry Charlie changed the entire caption.
Eventually , he deleted the post . Here is another incident . Justin's team (scooter) reached out to Charlie and had him play the piano for Justin's song Anyone.
Until later , adios
