‘Today, I realised I will never look like this again’ – Selena Gomez shares then and now bikini snaps
‘I’m not perfect but I am proud to be who I am… sometimes I forget it’s ok to be me,’ she wrote on the next image, taken in Mexico in 2023.
Selena has shared body positivity messages a number of times in the past. Last February she also went after body shamers while revealing that her lupus medication is responsible for her weight gain.
Last February Gomez said she will ‘never be a model’ as she went after online trolls who have commented on her body.
The Only Murders In The Building actress explained that she will ‘hold a lot of water weight’ due to several medications she takes and also encouraged fans to practice self-love even in moments of feeling shame.
The Lose You to Love Me singer – who has previously been vocal about her autoimmune disease diagnosis and mental health journey – also said: ‘When I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight.’
While continuing to celebrate body positivity, the former Disney star expressed that the minor side effect is incomparable to her health: ‘My medications are important, and I believe they are what helps me.’
In response to the haters, she told them to ‘go away, ’cause, honestly, I don’t believe in shaming people for [their] body or anything.’
‘So, yeah, not a model,’ she said, adding, ‘Never will be.’
