Selena Gomez has no time for body-shamers.
Gomez recently walked the red carpet for the Emilia Pérez premiere in Los Angeles, and in a now-deleted TikTok post, a few trolls popped up in her comments, accusing her of hiding her body as in some shots she was holding her hands in front of her stomach.
Selena shut these comments down as screenshots show her hitting back to set the record straight. She said, "This makes me sick...I have SIBO in my small intestine. It flares up. I don't care that I don't look like a stick figure. I don't have that body. End of story. No I am NOT a victim. I'm just human."
SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Growth, and is a condition where there is an abnormal increase of bacteria in the small intestine, as Gomez explained. SIBO comes with some very uncomfortable symptoms, including bloating and abdominal pain.
Emilia Pérez stars Selena, Karla Sofia Gascón and Zoe Saldana, and is a musical crime comedy film that follows a lawyer (Saldana) who takes an assignment involving Mexican cartel leader, Emilia (Gascón), faking their own death and undergoing gender-affirmation surgery, who returns to Mexico under a new identity to be with her wife Jessi (Gomez) and their kids.
