Selena Gomez continues to fly the flag for body positivity, and nobody’s forgotten her August 2022 TikTok, one seeing her prove that “real stomachs are in.” Posting prior to the January 2024 headlines she made for addressing her fluctuating weight, the 31-year-old singer confidently showed off her curves in a stylish bathing suit from a yacht, keeping her video lighthearted but also flooding the digital space with positivity.
Selena, who suffers from the autoimmune condition Lupus, has confirmed that her weight can vary based on the medication she takes to manage her health problems.
Selena Gomez Stuns Fans In Italy TikTok
Going “vaca self” in her caption as she lounged around a yacht while enjoying a day out on the water, Selena modeled a stylish, low-cut swimsuit in splash prints.
Rocking her purple and red one-piece as she braved being filmed at a slightly unflattering angle, the former Disney star highlighted her curves and a bit of a belly as a voice was heard saying: “Suck it in.” Selena then lip-synced to a voice responding: “I’m not sucking sh*t in!”
When asked “why,” Selena continued to lip-sync that, “real stomachs is coming the F back, ok?” as she patted her belly with a manicured hand. Looking glam despite barely wearing any makeup, the ex to Justin Bieber showed off her gorgeous features as she also rocked cuboid gold earrings, but it was the tummy talk doing it for fans.
Confirms Weight Changes Due To Medication
Selena, who received a life-saving kidney transplant for her Lupus in 2017, has opened up about the whole weight thing.
“No, [the lupus doesn’t affect my weight]; it’s the combination of all of it. It’s the medication I have to take for the rest of my life—it depends on even the month, to be honest,” she has stated, per Women’s Health.
“So for me, I really noticed when people started attacking me for that. In reality, that’s just my truth. I fluctuate. It depends what’s happening in my life. Right [it’s totally out of my control], and that got to me big time. I think for me, that really messed me up for a bit,” the Texas-born star added.
Earlier this year, Selena bravely shared photos of her swimsuit-clad self from a decade ago versus her bikini body in 2023. She told fans that she would “never look like this again.” The star, who has been body-shamed in the past, proved immensely popular with her brave reveal.
