Selena Gomez fires her parents

Los Angeles - Selena Gomez reportedly doesn't want her parents to be her managers anymore.

The 21-year-old singer's mother Mandy Teefey and her step-father Brian have controlled her affairs since she shot to fame in 2007, but the brunette beauty has now decided to recruit a professional to help her run her schedule.

A source told TMZ.com: "Selena feels she's outgrown her parents."

The Come & Get It hitmaker has argued with her parents on many occasions over the direction of her career and her on/off relationship with troubled star Justin Bieber, but it is believed family friction wasn't to blame for their split.

The Spring Breakers actress still remains close with her parents, but they are annoyed about her decision.

Meanwhile, Mandy and Brian made it clear last month that they were unhappy about Selena spending time with Justin, who has had a number of run-ins with the law, as they believe he's responsible for driving her to rehab in January.

A source said previously: "They're doing their best to supervise them. They're tolerating it as long as they know that there is someone who has eyes on them all the time."

Although, her parents know they can't ban her from seeing the 20-year-old singer.

The source explained at the time: "They don't have any control over her. She's pulling the, 'Who makes the money around here?' card! It's a shit show behind-the-scenes."
