Selena Gomez is once again being attacked and body shamed by social media trolls.
The “Only Murders in the Building” actress just can’t catch a break from these online sleuths.
Over the weekend, Selena and a friend stopped by Cactus Taqueria in Los Angeles for some lunch.
The lunch date came after she and some friends went to get fresh new piercings earlier in the week. Sel ended up getting her helix pierced.
The helix is the incurved rim of the external ear. Her day at the “body shop” was captured in a TikTok video.
Piercing Party
While out to lunch on Sunday, September 19, the Rare Beauty founder wore a gray cropped sweatshirt, black quilted sweatpants and black-and-white stripped slip-ons.
Her long brown hair was left down and she was makeup free. She looked flawless.
However, there were some horrible internet trolls who took the opportunity to bring Selena down.
In photos taken by Backgrid and reposted by Twitter account @selenasourcefrr, Sel can be seen getting her car from the valet.
One person commented on the photos, “lmaoo what is this mess 💀💀 that’s why shes still single.”
Someone else reposted the photos and commented, “help she’s BIG big,” while another troll said she looks ’90.’

But with all of the haters came more Selenators to defend her.
One fan wrote, “She looks healthy ❤️❤️” in response to the photos.
This impassioned fan wrote, “Can Selena get a break? I’m sick of the constant jokes and insults about a woman that has more love in her heart for this world than anyone. Selena Gomez is a remarkable, beautiful, and life changing inspiration. Her pureness and soul are beyond. Just stop.”
Selena has not been shy when it comes to talking about being body shamed and the negative effects it has had on her mental health.
In 2019, she opened up about the backlash she was receiving online regarding her weight.
During a sit-down interview for the “Giving Back Generation” videocast Selena said, “I experienced that with my weight fluctuation for the first time. I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me that’s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff.”

Sel noted that it was a combination of things that contributed to her weight fluctuation including medications she was prescribed to after her 2017 kidney transplant.
She continued to explain that she noticed people started to attack her for gaining weight.
“That got to me big time,” she admitted. “I think for me, that really messed me up for a bit.”
