Selena Gomez has had enough of cosmetic surgery rumors!
Over the weeknd, Gomez took to TikTok to express her frustration over rumors that she’s gone under the knife
In a comment to Marissa Barrionuevo’s TikTok video from 2023, Selena wrote, “Honestly I hate this. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone."
In response to Selena’s comment, Marissa wrote, “I agree with you. We do think we should leave you alone.”
Marissa added, “You don’t owe it to anyone to like tell us why you don’t look the same as you did when you were a teenager.”
Barrionuevo captioned the video, “Although I always try to lead with grace and mindfulness, I am sorry this upset you (and I understand why it did). I decided to stop making videos like this last year because of the negative impact it can cause. It was never my intention.”
Selena responded to Marissa’s apology, writing, “I love you. Not about you. I just get sad sometimes.”
In Marissa’s original video, she pointed out that Selena’s lupus diagnosis might have changed her appearance and not cosmetic procedures.
In the past, Gomez has been open about her struggles with lupus. In a 2019 appearance on the “Giving Back Generation” podcast, she shared, “I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me that’s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff.”
