Selena Gomez Shuts Down Body Critics With A Blunt Message | HuffPost Entertainment

Selena Gomez doesnt need anyones validation but her own.

Thats why the It Aint Me singer has no time to tolerate people who bitch about her weight.

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 candid TikTok she recently posted.

But honestly I dont care about my weight because people bitch about it anyway, she said, before mimicking her detractors. Youre too small. Youre too big. That doesnt fit.

Bitch, I am perfect the way I am, Gomez said. Moral of the story? Bye.

B*tch, I am perfect the way I am

Gomez has repeatedly addressed those critical of her body and spoken about how it affects her.

I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me thats when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff, the singer said in 2019 during a candid interview on friend Raquelle Stevens video series Giving Back Generation.

The actor added that her health issues and the medications she takes affect her weight, and that people attacking her for changes related to her body really messed me up for a bit.
