Selena Gomez Hits Back At Body-Shamer, While Flavor Flav Praises Her For “Being So Open” About Mental Health

Selena Gomez blasted fans who body-shamed the actress/singer during her red carpet appearance for the premiere of her upcoming Netflix film, Emilia Perez. Gomez was attending the American French Film Festival in Los Angeles, when commenters on TikTok suggested that she was trying to hide her body with her various poses. “This makes me sick,” Gomez wrote in response. “I have SEBO [SIBO] in my small intestine. It flares up. I don’t care that I don’t look like a stick figure. I don’t have that body. End of story. No I am NOT a victim. I’m just human.” Elsewhere online, Gomez received supportive words from Flavor Flav, who took to X on Monday (November 4) to praise her strength. “I don’t know her personally,,, but Selena Gomez is one of the STRONGEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL people inside and out,” Flav wrote. “I applaud her for being so open about her health and mental health. And I applaud her even more for clapping back at haterz,,, but she shouldn’t have to. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾” (Billboard)
