Treatment for lupus, which Selena Gomez was diagnosed with in 2014, changed the 30-year-old singer. Due to the medications she took, the girl recovered greatly and now almost every day she receives a new portion of the hate about her figure. Bodyshamers who advise Selena to eat less and go to the gym more often, she learned to give a worthy rebuff. On social networks, Gomez has repeatedly written posts inspiring women and men of different sizes to love themselves for who they are and not listen to what others say. As it turned out, Gomez herself has not yet learned this. In a new episode of the Apple+ show Darling, the singer admitted that she still reacts painfully to comments about her weight gain.
I went online, posted a picture of myself and said that negative comments don’t matter, that I don’t accept what you say. But I lied. Left alone in my room, I cried sobs, because no one deserves to hear such things in their address, says Selena.
The singer claims that in social networks and in public she had to be strong and hide her real emotions only in order to be a positive example for people who are also ridiculed for being overweight.
I posted these things saying I didn’t care because I didn’t want it to bother other people who had the same experience. Being ashamed of how they look, who they are, who they love… I just think it’s so unfair. My weight kept fluctuating because I was taking certain medications. And it became a good hook for some. Like they were itching to find something that could break me. I was shamed for gaining weight due to lupus,” Gomez added.
Recall that in 2014, Selena Gomez was diagnosed with a serious illness – systemic lupus erythematosus. Due to complications caused by the disease, the star underwent a kidney transplant in 2017. The donor was her close friend Francia Raisa. Now Selena has to take hormonal drugs on an ongoing basis that affect her weight.
Earlier, the singer gave another candid interview. In it, Gomez admitted that she could not have children. The singer explained that she was unable to bear a child due to a side effect of drugs for bipolar personality disorder.
