Selena Gomez’s Wedding Thrown Into Chaos by “Bridezilla” Demands and Weeks of Family Feuding That Left Her Mother Utterly Shattered — Insiders Spill Every Ugly Detail
Selena Gomez’s fairytale wedding to music producer Benny Blanco might have looked picture-perfect on Instagram, but insiders close to the star say the lead-up to the ceremony was anything but smooth. According to reports, behind the scenes of the Santa Barbara extravaganza, weeks of escalating family drama, shocking “bridezilla”-style demands, and emotional feuding left Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, “utterly shattered.”
A Dream Wedding with Dark Undercurrents
On September 27, Selena walked down the aisle in a custom Ralph Lauren gown, sharing romantic photos that had fans swooning. But sources reveal that beneath the glamour, tensions between Selena and certain family members boiled over during planning. Mandy, who has long been an emotional anchor for Selena through health battles and career ups and downs, was reportedly sidelined during critical wedding decisions — a move that left her devastated.
“Selena was determined to have the wedding her way,” one insider alleged. “She wanted full control over every detail, from the floral arrangements to the seating chart. But that came at the cost of excluding some of the people closest to her.”
“Bridezilla” Demands Cause Rifts
Sources claim Gomez’s intense perfectionism in the weeks leading up to the big day created tension not only with family but with wedding staff as well. She allegedly insisted on multiple last-minute changes to the décor, demanded full control of the guest list, and even clashed with her mother about which relatives should be invited.
“Selena loves her family, but she’s also fiercely independent,” another insider shared. “She made it clear this was her wedding, not anyone else’s. But those decisions created wounds that might take a long time to heal.”
A Mother Left “Shattered”
Mandy Teefey, who has been open about her health struggles in the past, was reportedly overwhelmed by the ongoing stress. “She was crying in the days before the wedding,” a source revealed. “She felt cut off and powerless. Seeing her daughter marry the love of her life should have been joyful, but instead she was left heartbroken.”
While Gomez’s camp has not officially commented on the reported feud, fans were quick to notice her mother’s absence from several wedding-weekend photos circulating online. Speculation grew on social media, with many questioning whether deep-rooted family conflicts had resurfaced during what should have been a time of celebration.
The Perfect Public Face
Despite the chaos behind the curtain, Selena and Benny presented a united and blissful image to the public. Their wedding photos — showing the couple holding hands, laughing, and sharing tender embraces — have already become some of the most talked-about celebrity images of the year. On Instagram, Selena captioned her reveal post with a simple “9.27.25 🤍🤍,” while Benny proudly declared: “My wife in real life.”
For now, fans are left wondering whether the newlyweds’ next chapter will include healing the wounds of this family drama, or whether Selena’s fairytale beginning with Benny will always carry the shadow of a fractured relationship with her mother.
