Selena Gomez is known for keeping it real, and her recent response to body-shamers proves just that. The singer and actress turned heads at the premiere of her new Netflix film Emilia Perez in Los Angeles, where she posed on the red carpet in a stunning black gown with a chic split-leg design. But while Gomez radiated confidence, some online critics had less than kind things to say about her appearance, speculating that she was “hiding” her stomach.
Gomez said.
I don’t have that body. End of story. No, I am NOT a victim. I’m just human.
Her words were met with overwhelming support from fans who praised her for her authenticity and confidence.
SIBO, a condition that affects the digestive system, can cause bloating, stomach pain, and weight fluctuations—symptoms that Gomez has openly discussed before. Alongside her challenges with SIBO, Gomez has been candid about her battle with lupus, a diagnosis that led her to undergo a kidney transplant in 2017.
Despite the online noise, Gomez shined on the red carpet, posing with grace and humor. Her fans have flooded social media with support, applauding her for her bravery and her “don’t mess with me” attitude. Selena has once again shown us that embracing who you are—and shutting down the haters—is always in style.
