Selena Gomez is opening up about how body-shaming affected her amid her lupus diagnosis.
Gomez said in a new interview that she struggled to cope with people saying she had gained weight while receiving treatment for the disease.
"I experienced [body-shaming] with my weight fluctuation for the first time," Gomez said on the "Giving Back Generation" podcast.

Gomez noted that there are many factors that contribute to her fluctuating weight.

Gomez received a lot of online criticism during her publicized health struggles, which she notes “got to me big time” and “really messed me up for a bit.”

"I'm very happy with living my life and being present. Because that's it. Similar to me posting a photo and walking away; for me that's it. I will do a red carpet, I will do whatever; I don't need to see it; I participated; I felt wonderful and that's where the extent of it is,” Gomez explained.
“I don’t care to expose myself to everyone and hear what they have to say about it," she continued.
