Selena Gomez Claps Back at Body Shamers While Explaining Weight Gain

I don't believe in shaming people for body or anything. Not a model, never will be. And I think they're awesome, mind you. I just, I definitely, I'm definitely not that. Going live on TikTok with her 45 million fans, Selena took on the haters who've turned her weight into hurtful headlines. I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they're going through. And nobody knows the real stories. You're doing great, Selena. She told her real story, her truth, about her battle with the autoimmune disease lupus and how her medications cause her to gain weight. Tend to hold a lot of water weight and that happens very normally. And then when I'm off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight. Yeah, we have days where maybe we feel like s**t, but I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself. And my medications are important and I believe they are what helps me. Selena Gomez was diagnosed with lupus, depression, and anxiety. She had a mental breakdown. In her documentary, My Mind and Me, Selena was an open book about her own struggles with stardom, depression. I am grateful to be alive. And lupus, talking to R. Terry Seymour about her brave confessions. How is your health? How is your lupus? Are you in remission right now? Yes, I am. Thank you for asking. I'm doing really, really well. It's definitely hard and that moment was really vulnerable. It was actually scary too, because I didn't know when I was gonna stop feeling that pain. In the new Vanity Fair Hollywood issue, Selena says that the documentary allowed her to finally be open about everything. And now she says she's working on new music that she tells the magazine is all about freedom. Freedom from relationships and freedom from darkness. I love you guys. Thanks for supporting me and understanding. And if not, go away.
