When asked if she thought the film will be controversial, Gomez replied, "Yes. Because it's real. What I love about Harmony [Korine] (director) is [that] he doesn't really allow anybody to fabricate his movies...He's not afraid to show people what really happens...He's not afraid to scare people...It'll definitely be controversial, I think, but I'm ready for it."

As for how Gomez's fans will react to her new endeavor, she revealed that she has already warned her young fans not to watch the film and has generally received support from her fans after undertaking the role.
