The American singer Selena Gomez is often targeted by haters, mainly because of her appearance. Netizens regularly criticize the 32-year-old celebrity for her curves, hiding behind concerns about her health. So, after the star’s recent appearance at the premiere of the movie Emilia Perez in Los Angeles, another body-shamer recorded a TikTok video in which he expressed dissatisfaction with her figure. Other users eagerly joined the discussion (and condemnation). But Selena did not remain silent either – she burst into the comments and responded sharply to the criticism.
“It makes me sick. I have a syndrome of excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine. Sometimes it gets worse. I don’t care that I’m not slim. My body is not like that. End of story. No, I am not a victim. I’m just human,” Gomez responded to all the accusations.
The symptoms of the syndrome Selena wrote about include bloating, stomach pain, and digestive problems. In addition, the singer has long suffered from a rare autoimmune disease, systemic lupus erythematosus. The chronic disease caused severe complications – in 2017, the star needed a kidney transplant. The donor was her friend Francia Raisa.
In addition, Gomez recently admitted that she would not be able to have children due to health problems. In the future, she plans to turn to alternative methods such as adoption or surrogacy. But otherwise, the singer is living her best life: having fun with her beloved Benny Blanco and receiving prestigious awards for her work.
