Selena Gomez, the 32-year-old star of “Only Murders in the Building,” recently addressed fan speculation about undergoing cosmetic surgery. In a TikTok comment, Gomez responded to a video discussing the rumors, stating, “Honestly, I hate this. I was on stripes because of flare-up. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone.”
The video, shared by a physician’s assistant, Marissa Barrionuevo, compared photos of Gomez from different years. Barrionuevo later apologized to Gomez, emphasizing that Gomez doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for changes in her appearance. Gomez responded with grace, expressing her appreciation for the sentiment but acknowledging that she occasionally feels saddened by such speculation.
Gomez has been open about her health struggles, including lupus, an autoimmune disease that can cause weight fluctuations and other physical changes. She was diagnosed in 2014 and underwent a kidney transplant in 2017. Gomez has also spoken about the impact of her career on her body image and self-perception.
Earlier this year, Gomez shared a side-by-side comparison of bikini photos of herself from 2013 and 2023, reflecting on her body evolution. She emphasized self-acceptance and the importance of being comfortable in one’s own skin.
Gomez’s candid response sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals with chronic illnesses and the pressure to conform to societal beauty standards. By sharing her experience, she encourages others to embrace their authentic selves and prioritize their well-being.
