Selena Gomez quits social media and fans believe they know the real reason why

For a few days, Selena Gomez has been the target of hateful comments about her weight. Affected by lupus, an autoimmune disease, the singer of Love you like a love song, explained on her social media that one of the side effects of her treatment was water retention and that this could make her gain weight. While the actress is trying hard to build a thick skin against her critics, a few days ago, she was a victim of mockery.

Selena Gomez clashed with Hailey Bieber on social media

The internet went crazy. Hailey Bieber was allegedly one of the critics of Gomez. But what happened? On her social media, Gomez filmed herself explaining that she had 'laminated her eyebrows too much.' Nothing extraordinary, however, a few hours later, Kylie Jenner published a photo on her Instagram account. In the shot, we saw the latter in a video call with Bieber, both showing their eyebrows.

A gesture that didn't go down well. Gomez fans have hit back for her. In fact, they perceive this as a direct attack on the star.

However, as the Instagram account @commentsbycelebs points out, Jenner responded to a TikTok video about the incident by @devotedly.yours saying:

this is reaching. no shade towards Selena ever and I didn't see her eyebrow posts! u guys are making something out of nothing. this is silly.

Gomez then replied to Jenner's comment saying:

Agreed @kyliejenner It's all unnecessary. I'm a fan of Kylie!

Despite this, the subject invaded the web. For Gomez, this was the last straw.

'I'm 30 years old I'm too old for this'

As someone who has already distanced herself from social platforms, she decided to express herself during a live on TikTok. First, she reassured her fans 'I'm happy, I have the best friends and fans in the world,' she said. She took the opportunity to hit back at the criticisms of which she was the target and tell her detractors, 'I do not care if I'm big or not.' The star then added 'I love who I am.'

Then, Gomez made a radical decision. 'I'm 30 years old, I'm too old for this,' she said before announcing she would be taking a break from social media for a while.
