Selena Gomez is undoubtedly one of the best pop singers in the music industry and her stock continues to rise even now. For many, she is one of the most attractive singers/actresses in the world, and it is not hard to see why. Unfortunately, it appears that she has become the target of a lot of body-shaming after her recent transformation.
The former Disney star made a name for herself in Wizards Of Waverly Place. Since then, she has also flourished in her acting career in a variety of roles. Her most popular work recently is certainly Only Murders In The Building, which will have a third season soon. Her talent is limitless, but she is never safe from her own fair share of haters.

It was evident she had gained weight and this was not lost on trolls, who all took to Twitter and brutally body-shamed Gomez for her recent transformation.
What’s The Reason For Selena Gomez’s Change In Appearance?
In today’s online discourse, a lot attention is focused on Selena Gomez’s appearance, particularly on how it has changed over time, often citing aging. However, apart from the typical challenges faced in Hollywood concerning aging, the superstar singer has also grappled with the effects of lupus, a condition that has contributed to fluctuations in her weight and alterations in her looks.
Despite openly sharing her day-to-day struggles with this autoimmune disease, Gomez has unfortunately endured hurtful comments from individuals unaware of her full story.
In an episode of the Apple TV+ series “Dear…,” Selena Gomez revealed, “My weight would constantly fluctuate because I would be on certain medications. And obviously, people just ran with it. It was like they couldn’t wait to find a thing to bring me down. I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus.”
The impact of the comments continues to deeply affect her, as she expressed,
“I lied. I would go online and I would post a picture of myself and I would say, ‘It doesn’t matter. I’m not accepting what you’re saying.’ All the while, being in the room posting and crying my eyes out because nobody deserves to hear those things. Though I was posting these things saying it doesn’t bother me because I didn’t want it to bother other people who are experiencing the same thing, getting shamed for what they look like, who they are, who they love. I just think it’s so unfair. I don’t think that anybody deserves to feel less than.”
Therefore, the singer consistently takes every opportunity to promote body positivity. Nevertheless, it is simply sad that Gomez feels compelled to explain her weight fluctuations and facial changes caused by lupus, as if she owes anyone an explanation.
