Selena Gomez is one of the most famous women in the world and she’s just posted some photos that that are growing her reach further.
Selena Gomez has done it again and sent the internet into overdrive with some sexy bikini pics.
Gomez, 31, just celebrated her birthday with a gaggle of celebrity pals, and now she’s posting photos of herself on a boat and in a bikini.
“She looks happy,” one fan commented.
“This is talent!” Another remarked.
“She’s living her best life, and we love to see it!” someone else applauded.
The former teen star has been more active on social media lately, and fans can’t get enough, especially since she’s been sharing some revealing snaps.
The bikini photos come after Gomez had to deal with body-shaming earlier this year when a photo of her in a swimsuit went viral because her figure appeared fuller.
She looked more curvy than usual, and the comments were cruel. Eventually, she responded to the hate and explained that her weight gain was due to a medication she takes to help manage the disease lupus.
“When I’m taking it, I tend to hold water weight, and that happens very normally. When I’m off it, I tend to kind of lose weight,” she explained.
She also reminded people that when they are commenting on people’s changing bodies, they don’t always know the “real story.”
She added that she isn’t a “model” and “never will be,” but told people that they shouldn’t be striving for body perfection because they are already “beautiful and wonderful.”
Gomez has always been candid about how she dealt with body image issues while growing up in the public eye.
She was first body-shamed on a mass scale after paparazzi took some photos of her in a bikini, and people online started making negative comments about her weight.
Gomez opened up about the experience on Apple+’s documentary series Dear … which features different famous people sharing their experiences.
“My weight would constantly fluctuate because I would be on certain medications. And obviously, people just ran with it. It was like they couldn’t wait to find a thing to bring me down. I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus,” she said.
The actor and singer also explained that while she pretended the trolls didn’t get to her, that wasn’t actually the reality.
“I lied. I would go online, and I would post a picture of myself and say (negative comments) don’t matter, I’m not accepting what you’re saying.”
Meanwhile, she said she’d be “crying” in her room because “nobody deserves to hear those things.”
