Selena Gomez took to social media to call out body-shamers criticizing her physique.
Selena Gomez Slams Body-Shamers Who Criticized Her Red Carpet Look at 'Emilia Pérez' Premiere: 'Makes Me Sick'
Selena Gomez won't have people making horrible comments about her body.
The Wizards of Waverly Place actress, 32, stunned as she strutted down the red carpet in a black form-fitting dress at the Emilia Pérez premiere in Los Angeles, Calif. However, after social media trolls criticized her physique during the event, she quickly clapped back.
Selena Gomez clapped back at body-shamers who made horrible comments about her.
Below a TikTok about the brunette beauty, people in the comments section made a fuss about how Gomez had her hand resting over her midsection, claiming she was trying to hide her body.
"This makes me sick," she penned below the clip. "I have SEBO in my small intestine. It flares up. I don’t care that I don’t look like a sick figure. I don’t have that body. End of story. No, I am NOT a victim. I’m just human."
Selena Gomez called the mean remarks about her body 'sick.'
Per the Mayo Clinic, "Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract.”
Gomez is no stranger to slamming people who say disparaging things about her. "At one point, Instagram became my whole world, and it was really dangerous," she recalled in a 2022 interview. "In my early 20s, I felt like I wasn't pretty enough. There was a whole period in my life when I thought I needed makeup and never wanted to be seen without it."
Selena Gomez used to let social media comments control her.
In recent years, the former Disney Channel star has been more disciplined about maintaining her boundaries with online apps.
"I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and feel confident to be who I am. Taking a break from social media was the best decision that I've ever made for my mental health," Gomez explained. "I created a system where I still don't have my passwords. And the unnecessary hate and comparisons went away once I put my phone down. I'll have moments where that weird feeling will come back, but now I have a much better relationship with myself."
Selena Gomez has become more disciplined about maintaining her boundaries with social media.
"Changing the narrative of mental health and creating a curriculum that hopefully can be implemented in schools or a system for resources that are easily available," she said. "I'm just so passionate about that, and I think I will continue to be for the rest of my life. Especially since the pandemic, there are so many people I know who craved help but had no idea how to get it. I have big aspirations for that field and really want to implement more education behind it."
