Selena Gomez has been gradually transitioning away from music and engaging in other projects, particularly focusing on social activities related to improving mental health.

Alongside her ventures in films and TV shows, many fans have observed a gradual weight gain in Selena. While she has addressed critics on previous occasions, she recently decided to address the matter once again.
In a video posted on Twitter, the 30-year-old singer candidly acknowledged that her weight has indeed fluctuated significantly in recent times. She attributed this to the medication she takes for lupus, which can cause her body to retain water.
“When I take them, my body starts to retain a lot of water. And this is absolutely normal. When I stop taking these medications, my weight gradually returns to normal,” explained Gomez.
She further emphasized, “I just wanted to say this and encourage everyone who goes through this and feels shame because of this weight. Remember that no one knows your story except yourself, so no one has the right to judge you.”

Selena openly acknowledges the negative impact such comments have on her mental health. However, she currently prioritizes something else above all else—the well-being of her body.
“We all have days when we can feel bad. I would rather be healthy and take care of my body first. And I know that these medicines help me, and this is the most important thing,” she added. She also emphasized that she has never been and will never be a model.
