While on tour with Fifth Harmony in October 2017, Gomez suffered an "out-of-control fan attack" while in Mexico City. Gomez took to Snapchat to speak about the incident and also revealed that she had been dealing with anxiety issues.

## Attacked by fans

The Inglewood singer-rapper is in Mexico City where tonight she will open for the Fifth Harmony concert scheduled. However, last night, after possibility entering her hotel, she was ambushed by a group of crazed fans who instead of following the directions of Becky G’s bodyguards of backing off, they did the opposite and just went to get her at all costs, causing a violent situation which culminated in Becky G actually getting hurt. The “Mayores” singer, clearly shaken up, recorded a video that she posted on Snapchat just minutes after this incident took place where she cried, explained the situation, revealed that she’s a girl who easily suffers from anxiety, and asked fans to please behave when they try to approach her to give them selfies or kisses or hugs, and to please respect the work of her bodyguards.
