Selena Gomez‘s mother, Mandy Teefey, is raising eyebrows about the state of her relationship with her two daughters.
The matriarch shared a cryptic Instagram post that fans have since interpreted to mean something sinister, accusing the singer’s mom of stirring up some drama.
Teefey is no stranger to making headlines for controversy, as she faced drug use allegations at the workplace just last year.
On Monday, Teefey took to Instagram to upload a series of photos of her daughters, Gomez and her young half-sister, Gracie.
The first slide was a playful mirror selfie of the siblings accompanied by a singular snap of the “Hands To Myself” songstress. Included in the slideshow were memes and quotes, with one reading, “She outgrew what drained her.”
In the accompanying caption, Teefey showered praises on her daughters, calling them her “greatest accomplishments” and “coolest.” She then alluded to their relationship, writing:
“One day they will see what a bad -ss I am and love me back as much as I love them. I’m just mom. Who never gives up when they throw me in the trash. I tell ya mom you’re doing it wrong, maybe so, we will see.”

Teefey’s upload immediately sparked tension in the comments, with Gomez’s fans interpreting it as a call for attention.
“WTF, Mandy. If you’re having issues with them, you shouldn’t post this on social media. People will take it out of context and keep hating on Selena,” one fan slammed, adding, “I don’t know what’s going on, but go talk to your daughter instead of creating drama.”
Another similar comment read, “Unfortunately, your post got taken out of context, and people are already taking it all on Selena.”
A disappointed follower described the post as a “strange choice,” urging Teefey not to air any dirty laundry on the Internet. However, the 50-year-old shut down the critics, replying to one of the comments, “Girl. It’s typically moms not cool joke. Calm down. lol,” Page Six reports.
Mandy Teefey Was Accused Of Drug Use At Work
It comes as no surprise that fans read too much into Teefey’s cryptic post, given her history of drama. Just last year, the matriarch had tongues wagging after a bombshell exposé was released.
As reported by The Blast, anonymous employees claimed that the Texas native often appeared impaired at work while serving as the co-founder of Wondermind.
One eyewitness alleged seeing Teefey snorting Ritalin and employing the services of nurses to dispense vitamin IV drips that contained Benadryl. “After the injections, Teefey spoke slowly and seemed drowsy,” a source claimed.
She reportedly defended the injections by telling colleagues she was dealing with complications from “severe COVID and double pneumonia.”
Did Selena Gomez Know About Mom’s Alleged Substance Use?
The damaging allegations continued, dragging the pop star into the conversation. A former employee claimed Gomez wasn’t in the dark about her mother’s inappropriate antics.
“I will say this with the utmost certainty — no doubt, hesitation in my mind. Selena knew her mother was not well enough to be running that company,” the person stated.
Teefey, however, didn’t allow the allegations to fester as she denied them with a statement, blasting “a few disgruntled employees with an ax to grind” for spreading mistruth.
She also slammed the media for going along with the “lies.”
Teefey Snubbed From Major Role At Selena Gomez’s Wedding
The damaging allegations surfaced just weeks before the Disney alum was set to walk down the aisle with her partner, Benny Blanco, during their fairytale wedding.
However, Teefey reportedly missed out on a major role. Despite raising Gomez as a single mother, the businesswoman wasn’t the one who gave the singer away.
Instead, the billionaire chose to go with her grandfather, David. Close sources say the entertainer asked her grandparents early in the wedding-planning process. The senior citizens were overjoyed to be included in the ceremony.
Unfortunately, Teefey wasn’t pleased with the move, resulting in tension within the family. “Selena’s mother and her stepfather Brian were shattered she didn’t choose her mother to walk her down the aisle,” an insider said, per The Blast.
It is believed the strains in the mother-daughter relationship played a role in the shocking move.
