Selena hits back
The 32-year-old singer addressed the speculations while responding to a TikToker video about the buzz around her changing looks in the comment section. The video was shared by a physician’s assistant working in a plastic surgeon’s office.
The original video was posted back in 2023. However, Selena commented on it on July 27.
“Honestly, I hate this. I was on stripes because of flare up. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone,” wrote the Only Murders in the Building actor.
Following the outburst by Selena, who suffers from lupus, the TikToker, who goes by the name Marissa Barrionuevo, posted an apology note.
“You don’t owe it to anyone to tell us why you don’t look the same as what you did when you were a teenager or in your 20s,” said the creator.
And Selena responded to it by sending lots of love and warmth. “I love you. Not about you. I just get sad sometimes,” Selena replied in the comment section.
About Selena’s health complications
In the year 2014, Selena was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disorder, which comes with symptoms such as joint pain. She underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 as a consequence of her lupus diagnosis. She has refrained from publicly disclosing the specific prescription medications she takes to manage the condition.
In January, she addressed fan concerns regarding her health via the TikTok platform, saying, “I shake because of my medication of lupus”. However, she continues to face criticism over her changing looks.
Since then, the Calm Down hitmaker has used social media to share body positivity messages. "Today I realised I'll never look like this again," Selena wrote one. In another post, Selena said, “I'm not perfect but I am proud to be who I am—sometimes I forget it's ok to be me."
