After a literal lifetime in the spotlight, obviously Selena Gomez’s face/body/appearance has changed. It’s called getting older. And she’d really like it if everyone could stop making a federal case out of it, please.
After a TikToker posted a side-by-side comparison of Gomez’s face as a teenager and an adult—and, actually, declined to speculate on her possible procedures, citing Gomez’s well-known health battles—the Only Murders in the Building star commented bluntly, “Honestly I hate this. I was on stripes because of flare up. I have Botox. That’s it. Leave me alone.” Other commenters are assuming that “stripes” is an autocorrect and was meant to be “steroids,” which makes sense as a treatment for a lupus flare-up.
The Botox, by the way, is not even new information. She joked about having “fresh Botox” at the 2022 SAG Awards, and in December 2023, she clapped back at a commenter telling her to dissolve her “implants” with a straightforward, “Hahahaha I’ve had Botox bb girl.” So, yeah, no need to speculate, Gomez has told us herself: she gets Botox.
Seemingly in response to the dustup, Gomez also posted a series of selfies to Instagram, showing the natural fluctuations to her face shape that happen because…she is a human being! “faces, phases,” she captioned the slideshow, which shows her in bed, in the car, getting ready, with and without makeup, and on a plane. Her boyfriend, producer Benny Blanco, commented on the post “pickle princess,” which is what her shirt says in the first photo. So let’s discuss THAT, okay?
