Internet is a whole maze-based platform, you never know what you'll get as a consequence of your action. This line mostly goes with all prominent figures and celebrities.
Trolling and negative comments are common things on social media nowadays. Celebrities get everything hate, support and criticism for their actions. One such name in this list of criticism and judgement is Selena Gomez. People on social media keep bashing her for the way she looks in the form of body shaming. It's not new to Selena and now she knows how to deal with it in an adequate and kind manner.
Few days back, Selena came live on her Tiktok account to make things clear and respond to the hate she is getting on her sudden weight gain due to lupus. In the past also, Selena has been very open about her struggles with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, and internal organs. She was diagnosed with lupus in 2015. She underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 due to complications from lupus. She expressed her whole heart out during the live and said, “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. I just want people to know that you’re beautiful, and you’re wonderful. Yeah, we have days where maybe we feel like s**t, but I would rather be healthy and take care of myself. My medications are important, and I believe that they’re what helps me.” She emphasized herself by saying that "I am not a model, never will be."
Body shaming and weight trolling can be extremely damaging to a person's mental health and can contribute to eating disorders, anxiety, and depression.
We should strive to promote body positivity and acceptance, and focus on health and well-being rather than societal standards of beauty. Celebrities, like Selena Gomez, are also human beings who deserve respect and kindness, regardless of their appearance.
