Selena Gomez Slams Body Shamers In The Best Way Possible

"I did start gaining weight and I didn't really mind it. I enjoyed it."

Haters, watch out. Selena Gomez is coming in hot to fight back against body shaming.

Gomez sat down for an candid interview with The Cruz Show on Power 106 and opened up about her tough year of dealing with an overwhelming bombardment of body-shaming insults. The shots began to fire against the former Disney star back in April when a picture of her in a bikini vacationing in Mexico emerged online. In the interview, Selena said the insults were really hurtful, but she wouldn't let it get to her.

"I'm not going to give a f**k what people...I'm not going to let them get to me. I can do what I want. At the end of the day, this is not even going to be a subject once the album comes out."

I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove 😂

The 23-year-old is set to release her second solo studio album on October 9th. The album cover, which Gomez dropped on her Instagram, has gained a lot of attention for its rawness. The black-and-white image shows a topless Gomez, with her legs and arms crossed, leaving her hair to cover the rest.
