14 DAY TRIAL // Former Disney star Selena Gomez has gained some weight this year, which became apparent with paparazzi photos from her recent Mexican vacation, posted online.
This would mean nothing if Selena were a regular young woman, but because she’s a celebrity, people paid attention - and some of the things they had to say about her curvier figure were none too nice.
As far as she’s concerned, they can continue talking about her and even call her fat if that’s what they want, because she’s happy with herself.
Selena “is in a really great place”
You can see the image Selena posted on Instagram as soon as photos of herself at the beach started making the rounds online, starting this conversation about how she’d gotten “fat.”
The pic in itself doesn’t really say anything beyond the fact that she seems happy and relaxed, but the fact that she tagged it with the hashtag #theresmoretolove does, as also does the short caption saying “I love being happy with me yall.”
This was Selena’s way of letting her haters know that she didn’t care for what they had to say, without actually saying so.
Luckily, she has friends who are standing up to her. “It's never really been an issue for her,” a pal says for People Magazine. “She's really happy with herself. She's in a really great place. She's very excited about her new music, and she just had a great time in Mexico with her girlfriends. Everything is really good right now.”
So as long as she’s keeping busy with work and she’s healthy, whether she’s stick thin or a bit heavier makes no difference for this star, which is actually quite a rare thing to see these days in showbiz.
That part about being healthy probably weighs the heaviest in the balance, since Selena is believed to have been struggling with auto-immune disease Lupus since her late teens.
A busy, happy life
Selena is also coming out of a bad breakup, after finally deciding to end the on-and-off romance with Justin Bieber, whom she dated for about 4 years.
Rumor has it that the last couple of years of the relationship were hell because of Justin’s repeated cheating, broken promises and erratic behavior. At one point, Selena was even rumored to have checked briefly into rehab, because she feared her drinking was getting out of hand.
Right now, Selena has wrapped shooting for her second movie with James Franco, “In Dubious Battle,” and is working on a new album. She doesn’t have time for haters.
