Selena Gomez Claps Back at Body Shamers, Embraces Her True Self Despite Online Critics
Selena Gomez is reportedly choosing self-love over criticism, ignoring negative comments about her body. According to a source who spoke with Life & Style, “Selena loves her body” and has no intention of letting online haters impact her self-worth. “After everything that it’s been through, she refuses to let anyone make her feel differently,” the source added, highlighting Gomez’s commitment to self-acceptance.
This report follows Gomez’s recent comments at the Rare Impact Fund Benefit event, where she spoke with People Magazine about when she feels most beautiful. Reflecting on moments that bring her true happiness, she shared, “I feel most beautiful when I wake up.” She explained, “Because I get to wake up to my sister [Gracie] or I get to wake up to my grandparents.
Any of that just makes me feel pretty.” Selena’s journey with body image is deeply intertwined with her health challenges. Over the years, the singer has faced several physical and mental health issues, including her ongoing battle with lupus, a condition that has brought its own set of difficulties.
Despite these challenges, Gomez remains resilient and has dedicated herself to raising awareness about mental health through her work with the Rare Impact Fund. At the benefit event, Gomez, while feeling “excited” but “a bit overwhelmed,” emphasized her belief in the importance of mental health support. “We all deserve support if and when we need it, no matter who we are,” she stated.
She further expressed her commitment to being a voice for others, saying, “I believe connection matters, and I’m here to be a voice for those who maybe don’t have one or for those who don’t feel like they have one.” Selena’s openness about self-love and her resilience in the face of criticism resonates with fans, who admire her dedication to self-acceptance and advocacy for mental health.
