Selena Gomez while on a trip to Mexico

The Controversy

Putting on some extra weight during the Mexico adventure proved costly to the hot brunette. As reported by Hollywood Life, after seeing Selena’s photos on the social media sites, many users insulted her. One of such instagram users, laurenvb094 added a mean comment on one of Selena’s photos which sparked a controversy.

The user wrote

“mmm…@selenagomez you need to work out! Please stop eating junk food!” She also added “She is not curvy at all…..she’s an actress she needs to tone her body, in the business sadly the image its important i’m just saying that she needs to work thats nothing wrong with that.”

Gomez retorted by commenting –

“You’re disgusting. IM IN the business and I could care less about what ‘they’ or you say I should look like. I don’t need to do anything other than love myself, take care of my work, fans, family and friends… And I do work out. It’s not your place to tell anyone what they should or should not do.”

The Reason behind Selena’s Weight Gain

Though, some people might claim that the Barney & Friends star had gained so much weight due to her careless fitness routine and her love for junk food, the truth is a very different story. In an exclusive interview with Hollywood Life, a source closer to Selena revealed that the reason behind her unpredictable weight gain is the medicines, she takes to treat her Lupus. Her body reacts to the medicine and thus weight fluctuations have become a part of the lead actress of Wizards of Waverly Place.

The Hurt She Hides

The source also divulged that though the leading lady of Stars Dance is very committed towards responding to the hateful comments made against her, it also hurts the versatile actress. She feels very frustrated and hurt when people claim that her love for junk food and laziness to workout is the reason behind her weight gain. She really wishes that the haters should wake up from the illusionary world they have gone into, and get a clue about the real problems faced by her.
