Selena Gomez confesses her feelings about body shapes: I felt embarrassed

Selena Gomez recently opened up about the viral paparazzi photos from her trip to Sydney in 2018. The 31-year-old artist visited the Harbor City in March of that year while on her Dancing with the Stars tour, and during her time off she was photographed relaxing on a yacht while wearing a bikini.

Selena recalled internet mockery for photos that captured her scars from kidney transplant surgery in 2017 and her naturally changing shape as she entered her mid-20s. Speaking to Fast Company, the former Disney star discussed the immense pressure he felt due to online ridicule, DailyMail writes.

Gomez says she was aware of the criticism of paparazzi photos and broke her absence from social media to call out society's unattainable beauty standards.

"The beauty myth – an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless cycle of despair, self-consciousness and self-loathing as she tries to meet society's impossible definition of perfect beauty," she explained.

Gomez told the outlet that she had already been dealing with body image issues after going through an uncomfortable photo shoot where she realized she no longer had a 'teenage body'.

"None of the sample sizes were appropriate, and that would have made me feel uncomfortable," Gomez said.

“However, how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman's body to not change? There were those moments when I didn't feel positive about the way I looked because of what I would see on Instagram. I was like, 'Wow, I wish my body looked like this,'" Selena declared.

The artist, who is open about her mental health, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020.
