VIDEO : Selena Gomez Attempts To Get Ahead Of Any 13 Reasons Why Controversy

Celebrity in this news:

Netflix's controversial hit drama "13 Reasons Why" returns Friday, May 18, and Selena Gomez is already putting an end to any more potential backlash.
The 25-year-old star ? who also executive produced the series ? dropped the soundtrack's lead single "Back To You" last week. The track went on to top the Worldwide iTunes Chart for 3 days in a row and currently sits at No. 2.
Now, Selena reveals that a portion of the "13 Reasons Why" soundtrack proceeds will benefit the Trevor Project and Crisis Text Line ? two organizations that offer crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
"Preorder exclusive @13reasonswhy soundtrack bundles and a portion of the proceeds will go to @TrevorProject and @CrisisTextLine," the singer tweeted on Wednesday.
"13 Reasons Why" quickly became last year's most divisive TV series, ultimately being named the most-tweeted show of 2017. Mental health professionals slammed "13 Reasons Why" for its graphic portrayal of suicide.
"There is a great concern that I have ... that young people are going to over-identify with Hannah in the series and we actually may see more suicides as a result of this television series," said Dan Reidenberg, the executive director for Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, a non-profit group with the mission of suicide prevention.
Selena appeared to have shut down any more potential backlash ahead of Friday's premiere.
