While on vacation in Mexico, Selena Gomez's bikini body received a lot of criticism. Although she expressed her love for her curves, captioning a bikini pic, "I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove," the haters continued to, well, hate. "Why is she So Fat?," asked one commenter. "You're so fat you have fat rolls," wrote another.
That's where Abigail Breslin comes in. The star and friend of Selena defended Selena's body on Tumblr. "Everyone is alway saying how we shouldn't judge each other, so why are you commenting on a gorgeous, talented and smart young girls [sic] body when she's on the beach having fun with her friends AND SHE LOOKS AMAZING," she wrote.
Abigail continued to harp on Hollywood's insane standard of beauty. "How are young girls supposed to grow up normally and not feel bad about themselves and not develop eating disorders if it's literally national headline news that a THIN girl may or may not have put on a few pounds, and YET still remains THIN?"
"I think if we all took the time we spend making each other feel bad about ourselves and used it to make each other feel good, the world would be a better place. Oh and also if we taught girls they had more newsworthy qualities than how they fit into a bikini, we'd have a lot more happy girls." Breslin also gave a special shoutout to Justin Bieber's ex. "Selena, you look amazing and more importantly look like you’re having fun. Keep rocking those bikinis."
Selena Gomez is definitely a gorgeous young woman but after being constantly targeted by fat-shaming haters, even she has been struggling with self-esteem issues. The 22-year-old pop star has been making headlines recently after showing off her curvy figure in skimpy bikinis while on vacation in Mexico. And though Gomez has been consistently saying that she loves her body and has fought back against bullies, an insider close to the singer revealed that the comments made by her haters have affected her more than she let on.
“Despite her public posts about loving herself, Selena is struggling with people talking about her weight gain. She’s saying all the right things, but it’s hard to hear people call you overweight. It really hurts and crushes her self esteem," the source told Hollywood Life.
Fortunately, the "Heart Wants What It Wants" hit maker has a good support system in the form of her friends and family to cheer her up and boost her confidence. The source explained: “Selena’s family and friends have been surrounding her with love and support which is great. No one wants to see her fall. It’s important that she keep working on music and lining up more film projects. The last thing her friends and family wants is for her to sit around and obsess about her weight or her haters or even worse Justin.”
Part of the reason why Gomez has been down in the dumps lately may also have something to do with her ex-boyfriend Zedd, whom she broke things off with recently. “Selena has very little interaction with Zedd anymore," the insider told the outlet. "It’s as if a huge part of her life has just disappeared. She leaned on him emotionally and talked to him every single day for months, even when they were apart. Now, they barely talk or text and that makes her pretty sad. They are still friendly, but Zedd is just busy with his life and career."
She recently hit back at an Instagram troll who made negative comments about her figure and saying she should 'stop eating junk food'. But Selena Gomez certainly hasn't let the criticism get to her as she was spotted out in New York on Sunday carrying a tasty snack. The 22-year-old singer had just enjoyed dining at Locanda Verde Restaurant and clutched a bag of spicy Cheetos as she left the eatery.
Selena teamed skintight black jeans with a white T-shirt and a stylish leather biker jacket. Her thick dark locks were pulled back in a ponytail and she donned trendy Ray Ban sunglasses and completing her look were some ankle boots with a chunky heel. The actress was in great spirits, as it appeared the crunchy cornmeal snack was gifted to her by one of her fans, who wrote a sweet message on the packet.
The supportive note, which looked to be from Instagram user @grandeheckyeah read: 'I love you so much & I know how much you love your hot cheetos' The star recently chose to respond to an Instagram user who had criticized her appearance telling her to 'stop eating junk food' and 'work out'. In a social media exchange the starlet hit back: 'You're disgusting. IM IN the business and I could care less about what 'they' or you said 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 heated exchange comes just weeks after Selena proudly displayed her curves in a revealing black swimsuit. 'I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove,' she captioned the snap on April 16.
Taylor’s besties are the best. Since they couldn’t tag along for her ‘1989’ world tour, T-Swift’s BFFs taped the most adorable confessions about their singing sister for the kickstart of her tour in Tokyo on May 5. Raise your hand if you want to be one of Taylor Swift’s best friends. Everyone? Okay, cool. The 25-year-old’s closest gal pals — Selena Gomez, 22, Cara Delevingne, 22, Lena Dunham, 28, and more — filmed the cutest video for the singer’s 1989 world tour. They gushed about their “epic squad” and praised their cat lady queen. All of the girls got super sentimental, it was so darn sweet!
Obviously, the intro to the video features Taylor with her cats — Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey. This quickly segues into a sweet montage from her closest friends. “I’m surprised that when she walks down the street, stray cats down come towards her because she’s the patron saint of cats,” Lena hilariously says in the video. Yes, Tay really is the patron saint.
“It’s not about where you are, it’s about who you’re with,” Karlie Kloss says. “We’re an epic squad,” Danielle Haim continues about Tay and the rest of their group. Aw! Girl power forever! If you’re feeling a little misty-eyed, prepare yourself. Selena soon chimes in. “Having a good group of girls, it’s the family you create,” she says. Cara says that having her merry band of girls is “the best thing ever.”
“Bad Blood” is the first music video from Taylor since “Style.” It’s going to be epic. Taylor started dropping hints on May 7. She released a fierce poster of herself. This is Taylor’s edgiest look yet, but she’s not Taylor in the music video. Her name is “Catastrophe.” Taylor continued to release more posters about the “Bad Blood” music video, including ones featuring Zendaya, 18, and Lily Aldridge, 29! The full video will be released on May 17 at the beginning of the Billboard Music Awards
Poor Selena Gomez, 22. The “Heart Wants What It Wants” singer shared that she was “desperate for sleep” in a video to her 30 million Instagram followers on May 9. Ironically (or maybe not so ironically), her video coincides with Selena’s nemeses Kendall Jenner, 19, and Hailey Baldwin, 18, getting together to support Sel’s ex Justin Bieber, 21, take the stage at 102.7 KIIS FM’s Wango Tango. Was Selena feeling like an outsider again?
There’s no worse feeling in the world than being an outsider in a group of friends. Sadly, Selena feels that to be the case with Justin and his best gal pals Kendall and Hailey, which she even revealed to Kendall’s mom, Kris Jenner, 59, at the Met Ball on May 4.
While Kendall and Hailey heard Justin’s epic performance of his hits “Boyfriend” and “As Long As You Love Me,” Selena revealed that she was unable to sleep! “Yes folks, midnight is late for me. Bored, desperate for sleep and my voice sounds weird at night #idlikesleepnowtho I’m. annoying,” Selena captioned her video.
Selena’s friendship with Kendall fell apart after Justin and Kendall reportedly hooked up behind her back. Sadly, their friendship hasn’t been repaired, even though Kris is trying to make them become friends again. Selena even told Kris that she feels like such an “outsider” with Kendall, Hailey and Justin that she has a secret nickname for them!
