Selena Gomez<\/a> is once again shutting down speculation that she has gone under the knife for cosmetic reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n The 32-year-old singer — who has repeatedly denied plastic surgery rumors over the years — was active on TikTok over the weekend and interacted with one video in which content creator Marissa\u00a0Barrionuevo was\u00a0asked to share what work Gomez has gotten done.\u00a0Barrionuevo is a physician assistant in a plastic surgery office and has a series where she shares side-by-side photos of celebrities before and after receiving cosmetic treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In her original video from 2023, the social media creator shared photos of Gomez but declined to comment on if she has gone under the knife for work, citing Gomez’s <\/span>health struggles with lupus<\/a> as one reason that can cause major changes in a person’s appearance. On Saturday, Gomez took to the comments to still express her frustration.<\/span><\/p>\n “Honestly I hate this,” the <\/span>Only Murders in the Building<\/span><\/em> star wrote. “I was on stripes because of flare up. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In response,\u00a0Barrionuevo used Gomez’s comment to create a new video and apologize for any ill feelings her original post may have caused.\u00a0“I adore you,”\u00a0Barrionuevo\u00a0said, “I really do mean the best, so I apologize if this rubbed you the wrong way in any way whatsoever.”<\/span><\/p>\n She also captioned the video, “Although I always try to lead with grace and mindfulness, I am sorry this upset you (and I understand why it did). I decided to stop making videos like this last year because of the negative impact it can cause. It was never my intention.”<\/span><\/p>\n Luckily for the PA, Gomez — who was diagnosed with lupus in 2014 and revived a kidney transplant in 2017 as a result of the diagnosis — responded in the comments and assured her that they are all good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I love you,” Gomez commented. “Not about you. I just get sad sometimes.”<\/span><\/p>\n Back in 2019,\u00a0<\/span>Gomez opened up about the struggles<\/a> she has faced internally and externally after gaining weight as a side effect of her diagnosis and the medications she was prescribed. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack healthy tissue and organs.<\/span><\/p>\n “I experienced [body-shaming] with my weight fluctuation for the first time,” Gomez said during a previous podcast appearance. “I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me that\u2019s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff.”<\/span><\/p>\n
