Selena Gomez has hit back at body shamers who have criticized her recent weight gain.
Gomez who has been open about her ongoing battle with Lupus, took to social media to address the issue.
Gomez revealed in a live video that her recent medication has caused her to retain water weight, which has led to her weight gain. The talented performer explained that her health comes first, and that worrying about other people’s opinions is simply “ridiculous.”
The pop star further added that although there are days when she feels terrible, taking care of her health is always her priority.
“When I’m taking it, I tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally. When I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight.
