Thanks To Fat Shamers, Selena Gomez Is In Therapy

You guys, this is so messsed up. Word just hit the internet that Selena Gomez has been working with a therapist because of the toll fat shaming has taken on her.

We all met Selena when she was just a kid and got to know her when she was a young teen on Disney Channel. She was a little bean pole and as the years have gone by, we’ve watched her grow up and into her body, which inevitably filled out into a perfect red carpet ready figure.

So for anyone to be calling her fat isn’t just cruel and unwarranted, but totally inappropriate. Opening up to UsWeekly, Sel says the torment was pretty unbearable.

“This was the first year I ever dealt with anyone talking about my body,” she said. “I’d land at the airport and people would yell out, ‘You’re fat!’ It was awful.”

Ew. Because trolls will be trolls, Sel has experienced regular bashing and finally reached her breaking point, leading her to seek help from a therapist to cope with the negativity attack on her body. The good news is her sessions have helped her accept herself as is.

“I’ve been working in therapy,” she said. “Even if I did gain weight, I’m fine.”

Keep it up Sel…you’re beautiful!
