London, July 10 (IANS) Hollywood actress Jessica Biel does not read news stories about her career and love life because she feels ‘completely wrecked’ if she comes across harsh criticism.

The ‘A-Team’ star is often featured in tabloids because of her relationship with singer Justin Timberlake but insists she has to avoid the temptation to flip through them because she can’t help but take hurtful comments to heart, reports dailystar.co.uk.

‘I’m strict about not doing it (reading gossip). Well… I don’t search it out, but when I stumble upon something, of course I read it,’ said Biel.

But the 28-year-old admits she understands the interest in her personal life.

‘I can understand the intrigue, but I would love for everyone to experience what it’s like and then they’d have a real empathy,’ she said.
