Selena Gomez Faces Online Criticism Over Body Image Concerns

Selena Gomez

Pop sensation Selena Gomez has once again found herself at the center of online criticism, a familiar territory for the star. Despite facing backlash, her loyal fan base continues to stand by her side, offering unwavering support. Selena has been open about her struggles with social media and the toll it can take on her mental health, often taking breaks from the platforms to prioritize self-care.

Amidst her ongoing battle with social media, Selena appears to have grown more confident in sharing aspects of her life with her followers. From lighthearted TikTok videos to glimpses into her new relationship with Benny Blanco, the singer has been more candid in her posts.

Recently, a series of photos shared by Selena sparked a mix of positive and negative reactions, prompting her to ultimately delete them. Criticisms about her appearance, including comments about her body and weight, flooded the comments section. This is not the first time Selena has faced scrutiny over her physical appearance, with past instances of body shaming due to her lupus diagnosis.

In a previous statement, Selena addressed the impact of her health conditions on her weight fluctuation, revealing the challenges she faces due to her ongoing medical treatments. Despite the hurtful remarks, Selena chose not to directly respond to the negative comments this time.

Following the incident, fans rallied around Selena, flooding social media with messages of love and support. Encouraging kindness and empathy, supporters urged others to think before they speak, emphasizing the importance of spreading positivity.

For those struggling with mental health issues, resources such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness helpline (1-888-950-6264) and GoodTherapy.org offer information and referral services to provide support and assistance.
