Selena Gomez has responded to a TikTok video that claimed she was “always skinny” while dating Justin Bieber because he likes models.
The viral clip featured a montage of snaps of Gomez throughout her on-again, off-again relationship with the Peaches singer from 2010 to 2018 with the caption, “The reason why Selena is always skinny when she dates Justin.”
The video ended with a screenshot of an Instagram comment written by Gomez in 2014 which stated that she was “too normal” for Bieber, who would “rather” date “models.”
On Sunday, the actress, 30, took to the comments section of the TikTok post and reacted with a sad-face emoji.
Several fans assumed the star was admitting that Bieber, 28, had body-shamed her when they were together.
However, many others believed that Gomez was upset that a post about her weight was circulating.
One fan wrote: "Maybe she’s upset you guys are constantly bringing up her body changing over the years. she has a right to react to her OWN life..."
Another wrote: "She’s likely to be sad about the constant comparisons to her weight now ad then. It’s not nice."
Back in April, former Disney channel star Gomez made a TikTok video slamming people who negatively commented about her weight.
She said in the clip: "So I be trying to stay skinny, but I went to Jack in the Box and I got four tacos, three egg rolls, onion rings and a spicy chicken sandwich.
"But honestly, I don’t care about my weight because people b***h about it anyway. ‘You’re too small. You’re too big. That doesn’t fit. Meh meh meh meh.’
She concluded with, "B***h, I am perfect the way I am. Moral of the story? Bye."
Following her final 2018 breakup with Bieber, the singer swiftly got engaged to model Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin).
Their whirlwind relationship led fans to be sceptical about the timeline, with many accusing him of having cheated on Gomez.
But after years of rumours of a feud between the trio, particularly the two women, Gomez and Hailey showed all was well by posing for a photo together at the Academy Museum gala in October.
