Selena Gomez Talks Being Body-Shamed After Gaining Weight (via PopCrush)
— and now she recently discussed how it felt to experience her health issues in the public eye and be "attacked" online following her weight gain., Gomez said the negative comments she received about her body on social media "really messed me up for a bit."
“I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me that’s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff,” she explained, clarifying that there are "combination" of things that affect her weight, including the medication she has to take for the rest of her life.
"[My weight fluctuation] depends on even the month, to be honest, so for me, I really noticed when people started attacking me for that. And in reality, that’s just my truth. I fluctuate. It depends what’s happening in my life," she said. "That got to me big time. That really messed me up for a bit."
The criticism eventually led her to take a social media break, as well as taught her to stay in the present moment. "I'm very happy with living my life and being present," the 27-year-old pop star said. "I will do a red carpet, I will do whatever; I don't need to see it; I participated; I felt wonderful and that's where the extent of it is. I don't care to expose myself to everyone and hear what they have to say."
