Selena Gomez received support from her ex, Taylor Lautner, as he strongly criticized those who body-shamed her following her appearance at the SAG Awards, where she appeared slimmer than usual. Lautner, who previously dated Gomez, took to social media to defend her, condemning the negative comments and reminding people to focus on kindness and respect.
Taylor Lautner, 33, took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday to slam the body-shamers who scrutinized Selena Gomez’s appearance after her noticeably slimmer look at the SAG Awards. Amid speculation that Gomez may be using Ozempic or another weight loss aid, Lautner firmly addressed the trolls, posting a powerful message urging people to “be a little nicer.” He added, “And it sure isn’t the shape, color, or appearance of your body. Daily reminder to all of us to not forget how beautiful you are inside and out…and to be a little bit nicer.”
At the SAG Awards, social media users were quick to comment on Gomez’s appearance, with some praising her for looking “her absolute best,” while others speculated about potential weight loss aids. However, Gomez has previously been open about her weight fluctuations, attributing them to her lupus medication and a condition called SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).
Lautner reshared a post showing two photos of Gomez—one from this year’s SAG Awards and another from the previous year—accompanied by cruel comments about her appearance. He condemned the hateful remarks, writing, “It’s a cruel world full of hate out there. You can never please everyone nor should you have to. In my experience, it doesn’t make the words sting less, it just refocuses you onto what matters.”#newsafro_
