Selena Gomez has recently spoken out against the persistent scrutiny she faces regarding her changing looks and weight fluctuations. The 32-year-old singer expressed her frustration with the ongoing rumours about her appearance, particularly the speculation that she has undergone cosmetic surgery. Gomez addressed these rumours in the comment section of a TikTok video, which was posted by a physician’s assistant working in a plastic surgeon’s office.

The TikTok video, originally posted in 2023, reignited discussions about Gomez's appearance. On July 27, Gomez responded to the video, stating, "Honestly, I hate this. I was on stripes because of a flare-up. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone."
