“I think people always want me to look the way I did, and that’s just not going to happen.” As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations. The same thing sadly happened in 2018, with Selena facing heaps of body-shaming comments after being photographed by paparazzi in a bikini. “I have Lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues. For me that's when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff,” she explained. “It’s the medication I have to take for the rest of my life. It depends on the month, to be honest. I really noticed when people started attacking me for that.” “Even if there wasn’t any discourse about cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery, none of us look like we did a decade ago? She does look different, but it’s been 10 freaking years. And if she’s had work done, it’s her body and her choice,” one more person added. Some Reddit comments have been edited slightly for clarity.
