Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend fires parents as managers, recruit a professional

Selena Gomez has reportedly fired her parents as her managers.

The 21-year-old singer’s career has been overseen by her mother Mandy Teefey since her big break on Disney show Wizards Of Waverly Place.

However in a bold move Selena has decided to stop employing Mandy and her stepfather Brian to manage her affairs, and instead recruit an experienced professional.

Sources tell TMZ that Selena fired her mother and stepfather last month, and that the move is permanent.

The source said: ‘Selena feels she’s outgrown her parents.’

However while Selena has argued with her parents about the direction of her career, family friction is not believed to be behind the move.

And while her parents are not happy with Selena’s decision, they continue to support her and the family remains close.

The move comes after Selena renewed her relationship with her bad boy ex Justin Bieber.

Her parents were said to be ‘vehemently opposed’ to the reunion.

According to RadarOnline, the Come & Get It hitmaker’s mother and stepfather, Brian Teefey, believed the couple’s break-up was the catalyst for her recent rehab stint, with a source saying: ‘They’re doing their best to supervise them.’

However, they have a limited say in Selena’s life, with the source adding: ‘They don’t have any control over her. She’s pulling the, “Who makes the money around here?” card.’

Selena admitted to Dawn At The Meadows recovery centre in Arizona on January 5, spending two weeks at the facility which treats people aged 18 to 26 years old who are ‘struggling with emotional trauma, addiction or dual diagnosis concerns’.

Her representative told the MailOnline: ‘Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but NOT for substance abuse.’

Her mother was just 16 when Selena was born and raised her as a single parent after divorcing her father Carlos when she was five.

The two moved to California from Texas so Selena could pursue her career as a child star – which pair off when she won her first role.

Selena starred alongside Demi Lovato on kid’s favourite Barney & Friends back in 2002, when she was just nine years old.
