Katy Perry Boots Selena Gomez From Management Company?

“Did she jump, or was she pushed?”

The above question may find itself planted on the lips of Selena Gomez fans today, now that it has emerged that she has cut ties with management company ‘Direct Management’…weeks after signing with them.

Unfortunately for her, talk that she left the company has now been silenced by reports that she was in fact fired by none other than ‘Prismatic‘ Pop princess Katy Perry!

What went down?

Details below…

Back in April, fans of both stars rejoiced when Gomez joined ‘Direct’, the management company at which Perry is signed to.

Alas, despite stripping her parents of the managerial role they played in her career to sign with them, ‘Direct‘ has now given Gomez her marching orders, thanks to- according to a report published by ‘Hits Daily Double‘- the competitive Katy and her day-to-day manager Bradford Cobbs.

That’s right, after giving the company her blessing and allegedly earning an undisclosed amount from Selena‘s ‘Direct‘ deal, Perry reportedly “changed her mind” once the ink had dried, prompting bosses Martin Kirkup and Steve Jensen to kick Gomez to the curb.

Hits reports:

Direct, has a whispering campaign that they fired Selena after Katy and her day-to-day manager, Bradford Cobb, changed their minds. It’s a classic example of a big act and day-to-day rep calling the shots for a management company’s entire business. This same scenario has played out time and time again in the volatile management world. But given how big Katy is now—not to mention the size of those commission checks—how could they argue with her? 

Soon after learning this, Selena called on Jennifer Aniston‘s manager Aleen Kesheshian and has now signed with the industry power player, while enlisting Bruno Mars‘WME’ representative, Sarah Newkirk, to serve as her agent.

This, all in a bid to steer her Pop career to higher ground once her contract with ‘Disney’ ends, set to be completed with the release of a greatest hits collection.

Once released and promoted, Gomez will then find herself tasked with finding a home at a major recording label as a free agent, doing so with the help of her brand new agent, manager and music.

    • FAF June 27, 2014

  5. SipTheTruth June 27, 2014

    Lets face it they both don’t have much musical talent but selena has NO
    singing voice my 5 year old niece could hold a note better than her.
    She doesn’t deserve a record contract but her acting isn’t that bad.

  6. TRUTH SERUM June 27, 2014

    This girl has the potential to be a huge pop star.

  7. truthtea June 27, 2014

    Ain’t nobody checking for Selena!

  8. GaGa’s Tampon June 27, 2014

    How is Selena releasing a greatest hits album?

    • Molly June 27, 2014

      She only has one top 10 hit lol

      • UrbanMusicGenius June 27, 2014

        Actually,Including her work with her band “The Scene” in which everybody just called the band Selena Gomez because well Only she was really doing work and was known solo before she went solo,she has 7 top 40’s on The Billboard Hot 100,7 billboard Dance/Club Top 10’s (6 of them going number 1) not to mention a few of hers songs went gold or platinum without charting on a major chart (Hit The Lights) and her 1st album selling platinum but going Gold,her 2nd and third going Gold,and her first Solo Album which you seem familiar with “Stars Dance” hitting the 500k Mark however has not been certified yet.Also keeping in mind at some point her main audience was her Disney crowd which did extremely well,as well as keeping in mind that success to “you” and what is deemed successful by her record company that has made millions off of her and can make more by putting something like this out with a few new songs and remix,is different.

      DID YOU READ THE ARTICLE?SHE OWES DISNEY ONE MORE ALBUM ON HER CONTRACT,SO INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM AN ALBUM WITH ALL NEW MUSIC KNOWING SHE’S NOT GOING TO RESIGN WITH THEM SHE WILL JUST PUT 2 OR 3 NEW SONGS ON AN ALBUM WITH OLD ONES AND CALL IT GREATEST HIS JUST TO FINISH HER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

      • Selenator June 27, 2014

        Finally someone with common sense! Selena has been done with Hollywood Records since last year. Why else would they cut the Stars Dance era short with only two singles and a tour a month after the album is released? That’s album s******! They rushed it out and now she’s doing a greatest hits compilation to fulfill contract. No point of releasing another full album that would be neglected and flop harder then Stars Dance.

  9. Love Life June 27, 2014

    Both if them are struggles and the world could do without their music

    • FAF June 27, 2014

      KATY MIGHT BE BASIC BUT SHE’S NO STRUGGLE

  10. Molly June 27, 2014

    Is someone threatened? hmmm

  11. tits mcgee June 27, 2014

    Lol. The battle of the non-titans! Katy won this round. #

  12. Skyfall June 27, 2014

    Death, Katy knows her reign as top nick jr act is running out so she has to resort to shady tactics to remain on top.

  13. Skyfall June 27, 2014

    Selena is younger, prettier, and more talented than Katy. So I see why she’s threaten

  14. Basic bxtches June 27, 2014

    Katy knows her time is starting to clock. She knows that when she hits 3-0 she’ll be an irrelevant basic bxtch.

  15. xedos June 27, 2014

    IF THIS IS TRUE I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT KATHY DIFFERENTLY WITH LOTS OF SIDE EYE

  16. Selenator June 27, 2014

    Smart move by Katy. Selena is younger, hotter, and more talented with a young fan base that is growing up with Selena. She knows Selena is about to hit her prime so the management would focus on crafting the next big pop star over the one who is about to hit 30 and has at the most 2 successful eras in her. Selena has a whole decade before she gets “Hollywood old”. Selena has a weaker voice but she knows how to use it better then Katy. Selena doesn’t have a pitch problem like Katy does, not to mention she has actual stage presence and can dance. That’s why she sold out arenas across the US and the world on the Stars Dance Tour despite Stars Dance being her lowest selling album. Lol Katy better deal the cards while she can. It won’t matter though, Selena has Jennifer Aniston’s manager now, and that’s a step up. Jennifer is America’s favorite actress. And she has Bruno Mars’s agent which means her promo will be top notch. Selena is coming to slay!

  17. Yours Truly June 27, 2014

    Katy Perry is superior to that untalented immigrant yuck

    • Selenator June 27, 2014

      Immigrant shade doesn’t work for Ariana stans. Your fav is Italian. Have a seat and buy a copy of Flop Truly, which hasn’t past 600k worldwide yet lmao! Meanwhile Stars Dance is at 830k worldwide. Even Selena’s debut album sold more in the US then Flop Truly did worldwide. 910k>>less then 600k.

    • Proud-Arianator June 28, 2014

      B**** those are us based sales not WW death at you trying
      To pass of Hoelena as a worldwide artist

  18. Yours Truly June 27, 2014

    Selena Gomez couldn’t even outsell Miley & Demi she’s a lessor

    • Selenator June 27, 2014

      Selena’s second lowest selling album outsold Demi’s highest selling album. And her lowest selling album sold more then Miley’s lowest selling album, Can’t Be Tamed. Try again b****.

      • Proud-Arianator June 28, 2014

        Selena is a flop
        Justin beiber’s penis was the best thing to happen
        To her career
        Bye b****

      • Selenator June 28, 2014

        That’s cute that this is your only comeback to the clocking I served you. Guess not all trolls can drag too lol! 910k sold in the US before Justin Bieber was even relevant. And she also won her first Emmy before him. Its funny you say his penis was the best thing to happen to Selena’s career but penise is what will end Ariana’s career lol. How long before she cheats on Jai again? She’s already screwed Mac Miller, Nathan Sykes, and Jai Brooks, and cheated on all three. Who will she w**** herself out to next?

      • Proud-Arianator June 28, 2014

        No boo her show has an emmy not her so try again

  19. Divine June 27, 2014
