Actor-singer Selena Gomez recently opened up about her fluctuating weight as she told body shamers to “go away”.
According to Fox News, a USA-based news outlet, Gomez recently went live on TikTok to explain how her lupus medication can sometimes affect her weight.
“[When I`m taking it, I] tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally. When I`m off of it, I tend to lose weight… I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they`re going through, and no one knows the real story,” Gomez said.
As per Fox News, she added, “I just want people to know that you`re beautiful, and you`re wonderful. Yeah, we have days where maybe we feel like s—, but I would rather be healthy and take care of myself. My medications are important, and I believe that they`re what helps me.”
Gomez noted that she`s not a model and emphasized that she won`t tolerate body shaming, reported the outlet.

“Not a model, never will be. And I think they`re awesome, mind you. I`m just definitely not that,” she explained, adding, “I just wanted to tell you I love you guys, and thanks for supporting me and understanding. And if not, go away, `cause honestly, I don`t believe in shaming people for [their bodies] or anything.”
Gomez, who shot to global fame due to her work on the Disney Channel show `Wizards of Waverly Place`, has also struggled with mental health.
In 2014, she entered a mental health facility shortly after being diagnosed with lupus and later revealed she had also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Further, Gomez being no stranger to body-shaming comments has previously explained that she doesn`t care about her weight anymore.
“So I be trying to stay skinny, but I went to Jack in the Box and I got four tacos, three egg rolls, onion rings and a spicy chicken sandwich,” Gomez said in a post shared to TikTok, as per Fox News.
