Her appearance came days after her appearance on the Giving Back Generation podcast, where she talked of being body-shamed.

Gomez was diagnosed with lupus in 2015, with the singer and actress revealing that she now deals with, ‘a lot of health issues, and for me that’s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff.’

She added that the medication she has to take for the rest of her life was one factor that lead to her weight fluctuations, stating: ‘It depends on even the month, to be honest.’

‘So for me, I really noticed when people started attacking me for [gaining weight]. And in reality, that’s just my truth. I fluctuate. It depends what’s happening in my life,’ Gomez said.

Still, while she has accepted her truth, others’ comments, ‘got to me big time’ and, ‘That really messed me up for a bit.’

‘I don’t care to expose myself to everyone and hear what they have to say about it,’ she added on the podcast.
