Selena Gomez’s pals think Justin Bieber is a “bad influence” and don’t like how she becomes “really dependent” on him.

The ‘Heart Wants What It Wants’ hitmaker’s friends are reportedly not keen on the on again off again couple, who are currently on a break in their relationship, reuniting.

A source said: “There’s a big crew of people [in Selena’s circle] who really don’t like Justin and they especially don’t like him with Selena. A lot of her friends really don’t like him. They think he’s bad news for Selena and don’t approve of the relationship. They think he’s a bad influence on her and she becomes really dependent on him. She’s so generous and loyal and puts 100% of herself into everything, including her relationships, which isn’t always the healthiest.”

11/20/11 Los Angeles, CA: during the arrivals at the 2011 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre.

And the 24-year-old singer does care what his girlfriend’s friends think of him but Selena tends to keep him and her pals separate from each other.

The insider added to Entertainment Tonight: “Justin does care what her friends and family think and has tried to win them over, but some of them are just over it. They’re there for Selena and support her no matter what, but don’t feel like they need to welcome back Justin. If you notice, Selena keeps her friends and Justin separate – when she’s with Justin, it’s just Justin, and when she’s with her old friends, it’s just them. They don’t really overlap anymore.”
