Selena Gomez hopped on TikTok Live where she addressed comments of her body.   Over the years, Selena has been open about her lupus diagnosis and a side effect from the medication she takes causes her to ‘hold on to water weight,’ “That happens very normally, and then when I’m off of it I tend to kind of lose weight,” she shared on TikTok.

“I just want people to know that you’re beautiful and you’re wonderful  We have days where maybe we feel like s–t but I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself and my medications are important and I believe they are what helps me. So, yeah, not a model, never will be. And I think they’re awesome, mind you, I just, I’m definitely not that,” Selena says.
Selena has been more active on social media recently, with TikTok being her app of choice, “I find it to be a little less hostile.  There are wonderful things about social media—connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories. But usually that’s filtered through [for me now]. Everything I do I send to my assistant who posts them. As far as comments, my team will put together a few things that are encouraging,” she told Vanity Fair back in Feb.

“I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself, and my medications are important and I believe that they are what helps me, so yeah, not a model; never will be. And I think they’re awesome, mind you, but I’m definitely not that,” Selena tells TikTok users during her live.  She ended the live video with a message for both her fans and body-shamers, “Thanks for supporting me and understanding. And if not, go away. Because honestly, I don’t believe in shaming people for their body or anything.”
