Selena Gomez Slammed Body Shamers: "I Am Perfect The Way I Am"
She doesn’t care what you think.
Selena Gomez wouldn’t want to be anyone else. On April 10, the singer shared a powerful message about self-love on TikTok in which she directly called out trolls for body-shaming her. “B*tch, I am perfect the way I am,” she said, and I couldn’t agree more.
Gomez has been very outspoken about her journey toward self-acceptance through the years. She’s touched on the subject in her songs “Lose You to Love Me” and “Look At Her Now,” as well as in a few inspirational posts on Instagram. Lately, she’s been using TikTok to advocate her message of self-love with fans.
In a series of TikToks posted on April 10, Gomez said she’s been “trying to stay skinny” by avoiding certain foods but has decided recently to give in to her cravings. Why? Because she said people will always comment on her body no matter how she looks.
“I went to Jack in the Box, and I got four tacos, three egg rolls, onion rings, and a spicy chicken sandwich,” she said. “Honestly, I don’t care about my weight because people b*tch about it anyway.”
“‘You’re too small.’ ‘You’re too big.’ ‘That doesn’t fit,’” Gomez said while mimicking her haters. “B*tch, I am perfect the way I am. Moral of the story? Bye.”
Since the clips were posted onto her Stories rather than her main TikTok account, the videos sadly disappeared after 24 hours. Thankfully, fans recorded them and reposted the clips on Instagram.
The following day, Gomez also shared another empowering TikTok that include a viral audio clip of someone asking, “How would you rate yourself on a scale from 1 to 10?”
“I’m a 10,” Gomez mouths.
“That’s like flawless though,” the audio continues, to which Gomez mimics the reply, “Yeah, I am flawless.”
Gomez is a total queen and she knows it!
