In 2023, Selena Gomez encountered backlash regarding her weight gain. The singer and actress later explained that the increase was a side effect of her medication for lupus, an autoimmune disorder. Recently, author and content creator Tova Leigh took to Instagram to defend Gomez against online trolls who criticized her appearance, with support from actors Sharon Stone and Gwyneth Paltrow.

A recent video juxtaposed Selena's current appearance with that from 2015, prompting trolls to engage in body-shaming. Tova posted a video on Instagram that showcased the faces of men who had made derogatory comments about Selena's weight gain. The video included before-and-after images of the singer, alongside screenshots of the negative remarks and profile pictures of the commenters. In her post, she remarked, "Men responding to Selena Gomez… The audacity of some of these individuals! Letting their own profile pictures reveal their true selves. #nameandshame inspo @hessomid."

Among those who voiced their support for Selena and condemned the rude remarks was American actress Sharon Stone. She responded to the video with a sarcastic comment, "(clapping and laughing emoji) men; you’re so attractive." Gwyneth Paltrow contributed to the conversation by adding fire emojis in the comments.

Selena has previously discussed the impact of weight-related criticism on her mental health. She stated, "It varies from month to month, to be honest. I really noticed when people began to attack me for that. It affected me significantly. It really threw me off for a while." She acknowledged that the relentless scrutiny led her to step away from social media.

Upon her return, she chose to avoid her timeline, expressing, “I’m very happy living my life and being present. I’ll post a photo and then move on; for me, that’s sufficient. I will attend red carpet events and participate in whatever; I don’t need to see it. I engaged, I felt great, and that’s all that matters. I have no desire to expose myself to everyone and hear their opinions,” as reported by E! News.
