She is offended by the fact that the movie's script portrays her as someone who is traumatized and mumbling, leading to her making a deal with the studio to change that portrayal while also getting a rich amount of money on the side.
Gomez is an accomplished singer whose acting credits include Wizards of Waverly Place, Spring Breakers, and The Dead Don't Die.
