Selena Gomez (30) suffers from a serious illness – the actress was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease lupus in 2013. As a result of the illness, the former Disney star was even dependent on a donor kidney, which she received from her best friend. Again and again, she has to deal with nasty comments about her changed body weight. Selena has now commented on her weight and made it clear: she does not tolerate online hate!
The 30-year-old spoke candidly in a TikTok live stream about how her lupus medication can sometimes affect her weight: “When I take them, I tend to retain a lot of water. When I stop taking them, I tend to lose weight,” the singer explained. She has a clear opinion on body shaming comments: “Get lost.” But she is particularly grateful to her fans for the ongoing support: “I love you guys,” said the beauty, very touched.
Selena’s many pills, which she has to take every day against the disease, also have other side effects: “I’m shaking because of my lupus medication,” she recently told a fan in a skincare video on the online platform. In the clip, her hands were shaking badly, which caused some followers to worry about her beauty.
