Selena Gomez got so real on TikTok Live in February 2023. Good for her!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn Thursday, February 16, the beautiful and talented Selena Gomez took to TikTok live to talk to fans.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, some very weird trolls have been trying to body-shame her. They have attacked the shape of her face.<\/p>\n
While the shape of Selena\u2019s face (like the rest of her body) is none of anyone\u2019s business, she decided to explain \u2014 and educate.<\/p>\nBEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA \u2013 JANUARY 10: Selena Gomez attends the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 10, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California.

She is able to combat this horrible illness with chemotherapy, which helps to save her life. However, like lupus itself, chemo ravages her body.<\/p>\n
And so, too, does her current medication for lupus. When on it, Selena tends \u201cto hold a lot of water weight,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\nSelena Gomez is on the receiving end of some unwelcome attention this week.

Fun fact: \u201cNaturally\u201d is one of Selena\u2019s earliest hits. It is also arguably the best song in human history. (Me, I\u2019m the one arguing that)<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I\u2019m off of it,\u201d Selena shared of her lupus medication, \u201cI tend to kind of lose weight.\u201d<\/p>\nBut while answering the impolite and even hostile \u201cquestions\u201d about her body, Selena turned it into something positive. She always does.<\/p>\n
Addressing her fans and followers, Selena affirmed that anyone having their own tough time with a personal situation should know that it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n
Selena reminded everyone that \u201cnobody knows the real story\u201d behind their personal struggles and private pain.<\/p>\n\u201cSo I just want people to know that you\u2019re beautiful and you\u2019re wonderful,\u201d Selena emphasized.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd\u2026 yeah, we have days where maybe we feel like s\u2013t,\u201d she acknowledged. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself,\u201d Selena noted, \u201cand my medications are important and I believe they are what helps me.\u201d<\/p>\nSelena Gomez is setting the record straight about her love life. (Photo via NBC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYes, she knows that some people put her on an unrealistic pedestal. (To be honest, she belongs on a throne)<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, not a model, never will be. And I think they\u2019re awesome, mind you. I just, I definitely am\u2013 definitely not that,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Selena then addressed her fans: \u201cI love you guys, and thanks for supporting me and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
