Selena Gomez has been dethroned.

No longer does she have the most followers on Instagram.

She has over 144 million followers, but with only a few hundred more now, is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now this social media victory for Ronaldo is a positive story to the sexual assault allegations that he’s been facing over the past few weeks, allegations that he vehemently denies.

As for Selena, I’m going to guess she’s not caring that much she’s not #1.

In an interview in September with Elle, she said:

“I’m not on the internet. I haven’t been on the internet in months. I don’t have my password for Instagram.”

Apparently she uses a friend’s phone that has her account for updates.

But even last month, Selena posted she’s taking a break.

Mood lol (I was looking at myself in the mirror -like an idiot!) Update: taking a social media break. Again. As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given. Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings. Obvi.

So once she starts posting again, maybe she’ll regain the Insta-throne.
