Selena Gomez lied about being unaffected by body shamers; says, 'I'd cry my eyes out'
Selena Gomez
Even though most celebrities put up a brave front, they do get affected by trolls and body shaming! Selena Gomez recently confessed to a lie and revealed that she cried her eyes out in her room when she got trolled for gaining weight. She revealed that she pretended to not be affected by the mean comments and that she thinks it's unfair to shame someone for how they look or who they love.
"I lied. I would go online and I would post a picture and I would say, 'It doesn’t matter. I'm not accepting what you’re saying,'" the actress said on Apple TV+ docuseries Dear…, which was released on Thursday.
"I was posting these things saying it doesn’t bother me because I didn't want it to bother other people who are experiencing the same thing," Gomez continued, adding, "Getting shamed for what they look like, who they are, who they love, I just think it's so unfair."
The 30-year-old thinks nobody deserves this kind of treatment. And, while talking about her lupus diagnosis, she added that people "couldn't wait" to find a reason to bring her down.
