Selena Gomez Hits Back at Body Shamers After Golden Globes Appearance
Latina actress Selena Gomez appeared to have gained some weight when she arrived at the Golden Globes. Body shamers quickly pounced and made fun of her weight gain. However, the former Disney star hit back with some body positivity.
According to Page Six, the "Only Murders in the Building" actress could not care less what her body shamers had to say on social media. She admitted that she did gain weight but appeared to not really care that much.
"I'm a little bit big right now because I enjoyed myself during the holidays," she said in a post on social media. She was still wearing her strapless Valentino gown at the Golden Globes and appeared alongside her little sister, Gracie Elliott Teefey, 9. Gracie appeared as her sister's "plus one" during the awards show.
She added, "But we don't care," as she and her sister burst out into laughter. She also said, "B*tch, I am perfect the way I am."
Selena Gomez Had Similar Response After She Was Previously Body-Shamed
Her body shamers did not seem to learn from the last time they tried to body-shame the Latina actress and producer, as they also previously tried making fun of her gaining some weight back in 2022, according to CNN.
After people started commenting on her appearance, she told fans that she did not really care much about her weight "because people b*tch about it anyway."

She shot back at them by saying, "'You're too small,' 'you're too big,' 'that doesn't fit,' na-na-neh-nehhh... I am perfect the way I am. Moral of the story? Byyye!"
Following this latest round of body-shaming from other people, her fans quickly came to her rescue. On social media, one fan wrote, "She shouldn't have to explain why her body looks how it does." Another also added, "She's perfect and doesn't need to give explanations."
Selena Gomez Talks About Body Positivity
Earlier this year, Selena Gomez was seen in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico enjoying a swim. Paparazzi snapped some swimsuit photos of her, but the public's response was body shaming her again.
One respondent wrote, "OH SHES HUGEE," while another posted a more hurtful comment, saying, "The pop girlie who's aging the worst, I fear [sic]."
The "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress recently spoke with GLAMOUR Magazine about the "relentless scrutiny of her body" during an interview. She admitted that it is hard to feel comfortable when she feels like "everyone is watching, judging, and commenting on the way you look."
She said that she does not care about her weight, and in a TikTok story posted in April of last year, she said that she was trying to stay skinny but had to go to a local fast-food place to eat "four tacos, three egg rolls, onion rings, and a spicy chicken sandwich," shooting back at her body shamers.
Selena Gomez remains body-positive even after thousands of people poked fun at her for gaining some weight. She had also recently talked about her mental health in a new documentary.
