For a quick recap, while promoting her upcoming Hulu series Only Murders in the Building earlier this month, the Fetish songstress joked about signing her “life away to Disney” in a reference to her being a teen actor on the channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place show from 2007 to 2012.
“I signed my life away to Disney at a young age, so I didn’t know exactly what I was doing. I was a kid, I was just running around on set, and now I feel like a sponge and I soak up all the wisdom that I can,” she said at a press panel.

Now, taking cognisance of her comments in a recent joint interview with Steve Martin, Gomez addressed that the comment was “made in jest”. “I’m beyond proud of the work that I did with Disney as well. It kind of shaped who I am in a way,” Gomez said, adding that she was looking forward to doing another shot to television.
Martin also backed his co-star and said, “I have to jump in because I was there when Selena said that. [It] was said in the most light-hearted, funny, jokey way. And then I see it gets interpreted — sometimes they’ll say she was joking and sometimes they have it as an ominous headline — but it was completely all in fun. I’ve signed my life away to Marty Short, you think I like that?” Martin added.
Gomez began her career with the television series, Barney and Friends. In her teens, she was seen in Wizards of Waverly Place. She also had a brief role in Hannah Montana.
