Selena Gomez said that she “lied” about not being affected by negative comments from body-shamers, admitting that she would be in her room “crying” her “eyes out.”
On the Apple TV+ docuseries “Dear…,” Selena admits, “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.'"
Gomez went on to say that despite portraying herself as impenetrable to the online trolls, she would still be in her room “crying” her “eyes out because no one deserves to hear those things.”
“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... Getting shamed for what they look like, who they are, who they love, I just think it’s so unfair.
“I don’t think that anybody deserves less than.”
Selena was diagnosed with lupus in 2014. She shared that people online “couldn’t wait” to find a reason to bring her down, despite her chronic disease’s painful side effects.
“I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus."
