Selena Gomez shuts down body shaming comments after some social media users claimed she appeared to be “hiding her stomach” on a recent red carpet.
After finding a since-deleted TikTok video that discussed her posing, the Only Murders in the Building star, 32, responded to criticism about her appearance.
Faced with cruel comments about her appearance, the actress reminded the world that she suffers from lupus and various health problems that affect her weight.
“This makes me sick,” he wrote. ‘I have SEBO in my small intestine. It lights up.’
He continued, “I don’t mind not looking like a stick figure.”
Not only is Selena Gomez not letting body shamers get to her, she’s educating them about what’s going on. Photographed here on October 29, 2024.
The singer concluded her comment by writing: ‘I don’t have that body. End of story.’
SIBO stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which occurs when “the passage of food and waste products in the digestive tract” slows down, “creating a breeding ground for bacteria,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
The condition is usually caused by surgery or disease. Symptoms include bloating, stomach pain and malnutrition.
Not only did Selena have a kidney transplant, but she also has lupus.
Fans overwhelmingly supported her in the comments on her comment.
“The internet is what everyone hates the most,” one person aptly wrote, while another wrote, “They pick on it for everything, it’s so heartbreaking.”
“Ughhh she’s so perfect,” gushed another fan.
Last week, Selena shared a cute video of her in the dress in question depositing her ballot in an official ballot box on the way to the premiere of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
A TikTok user uploaded a since-deleted video of the Only Murders in the Building star, 32, in which they criticized her stomach bulge. Seen here on October 29, 2024.
The next day, Selena hit the red carpet at the premiere of her new Netflix movie, Emilia Pérez, and posed with her hands on her belly. Seen here on October 29, 2024.
Then, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum was accused of “hiding” her stomach and took to the comments to get her opinion.
“This makes me sick,” he wrote. ‘I have SEBO in my small intestine. It lights up
Some fans thought Selena’s red dress meant she voted for Donald Trump, since red is traditionally the color of the Republican Party.
But Selena is an outspoken Democrat and has been highly critical of the Trump campaign, especially after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at the Oct. 27 rally at Madison Square Garden.
Selena, who is Mexican-American, said she “totally disagreed with any comments that were made,” referring to derogatory comments against the island by the now-disgraced comedian.
“I definitely want to support my people,” he added.
