Selena Gomez Says Comments on Her Weight Make Her a 'Tad Bitter': 'Nobody Cares About These Kinds of Things with Men'
Selena Gomez shared she gets 'a tad bitter' when her weight becomes a topic of conversation, because those comments are always directed at women — and "no one cares about these kinds of things with men." The Only Murders in the Building star, 32, and her fiancé, producer Benny Blanco, 37, appeared on the March 24 episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty Podcast, where Gomez tackled the topic of body image, sharing 'this isn't news to anybody that obviously women have a lot more intense feelings from their appearance.' She said, 'When I get prepared for an event, 90 percent of the time I'm just like, 'I just hope I can take the picture and sit down.' ' While Gomez said she tries not to look at Internet comments, 'So many different things that come up in my face, that I can't help but see … I fall victim to looking at at things.'

'My weight's a big one too,' she continued. 'Everyone just has something to say and it's really making me sad and — not even sad 'cause, I'm not a victim, everyone — I just think it's made me a tad bitter and I feel really guilty for saying that but it's true.' As the "You Said You Were Sorry" singer has shared, the medication she takes for her chronic autoimmune disorder, lupus, can cause her weight to fluctuate. "I would rather be healthy and take care of myself. My medications are important, and I believe that they're what helps me," Gomez has said. 'Not a model, never will be. And I think they're awesome, mind you. I'm just definitely not that.'

'But I do, most of the time, ignore everything. I don't have anything on my phone at that moment. So, there are ways to combat it.' 'I'm not in, like, 'I hate it.' I understand the power of what social media is,' she said. 'It's just tricky.'

Selena Gomez says 'women have it much worse' as public figures on social media: 'It's made me a tad bitter'
Preach, Mabel! Selena Gomez is not mincing words about her experience as a famous woman grappling with online negativity, and the effect it's had on her. The Only Murders in the Building star and her fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, sat down together for a revealing conversation on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty Podcast when the subject of negative social media comments came up, and Blanco revealed that he doesn't read them, nor does he care what people think. Gomez had a different perspective, though. "I was also going to point out that women have it much worse," she added. "From my perspective it's pretty wild, and I think this isn't news to anybody, that obviously women have a lot more intense feelings from their appearance to what they're wearing to everything.'

'When I get prepared for an event, 90 percent of the time I'm just like, 'I just hope I can take the picture and sit down,'' but, she added, "It's the character that gets judged, it's the way I'm not white enough, I'm not Mexican enough." The Emilia Pérez star continued, "There's just so many different things that come up in my face that I can't help but see, but I fall victim to looking at things, and it really doesn't add to your life, but it's just so difficult. From the choices of people you date — it's like nobody cares about those kind of things with men."

Gomez has been open in the past about having chronic autoimmune disorder lupus, and how the medications she takes for her treatment can cause her weight to fluctuate. 'Oh yeah, my weight's a big one too,' she continued on the podcast. 'Everyone just has something to say and it's really making me sad and — not even sad 'cause, I'm not a victim, everyone — I just think it's made me a tad bitter, and I feel really guilty for saying that, but it's true.' But the I Said I Love You First singer has, at least for now, made her peace with it all. "I had to stop after a while, and I still take breaks completely because I'm human, so of course sometimes I read things, but I do most of the time ignore most of everything," she said, adding that she doesn't "have anything" on her phone at the moment. "So there are ways to combat it," she concluded. "I'm not in like a 'I hate it' — I understand the power of what social media is, it's just tricky." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
