Gomez seemed to be enjoying her time in Cabo, but in no time, netizens quickly filled up social media platforms with unsolicited comments on her one-piece swimsuit.
“tbf this is probably the most unflattering swimwear humanly possible for her body shape. She looks fine,” one said.
Another wrote, “It’s the swimsuit style that’s unflattering, not her body.”
Some zeroed in on a mysterious detail on her thighs, asking: “Why is there a massive indentation?”
“I can’t figure out in my head what exactly is going on here. Why is there a massive indentation???” read one comment online

“Yes, wow, let’s make it illegal to be 20 pounds overweight, am I right?” one sarcastically said.
“As a childless, able-bodied celebrity, there’s literally no excuse to not be in the best shape of your life,” another claimed.

Several fans pointed out that Gomez has struggled with health issues over the years.
“Bro. She has major medical problems,” one said, while another pointed out, “She has lupus.”
“She has serious health issues, and even if she didn’t, this post would still be incredibly classless,” another said.

More than a decade has passed since Gomez was first diagnosed with the chronic autoimmune disease, lupus, in 2013, and required a kidney transplant in 2017,
The disease occurs when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs, thus affecting body parts like the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, or lungs.
It is mostly diagnosed in women of childbearing age, with 90% of people living with lupus being females, according to the Lupus Foundation of America.

Gomez had taken a break from her music career following her diagnosis, while critics spun rumors about her going through depression and add*ction.
“I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy. That’s what my break was really about. I could’ve had a stroke,” she told Billboard in 2015.
“I wanted so badly to say, ‘You guys have no idea. I’m in chemotherapy. You’re a**holes.’ I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again.”
The former Disney star said she had to “grieve” not being able to carry her own children because of her medical issues

In 2024, the former Disney star spoke about how she couldn’t safely carry and give birth to her own children due to her ongoing medical issues.
“I haven’t ever said this,” she told Vanity Fair, “but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy.
“That was something I had to grieve for a while,” she added.

The Same Old Love singer said she still envisions becoming a parent someday, even though it might not “happen the way it happens for everyone.”
“I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me … It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,” she added.

Having grown up in the spotlight, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum is no stranger to online trolls hyperfixating on her body and appearance.
While speaking to Billboard in the past, she said 2015 was a year she dealt with “a lot of body shaming.”
“I was in a bikini and got publicly ripped for being overweight,” she told the outlet.

“I was in a bikini and got publicly ripped for being overweight,” said the singer-actress. “That was the first time I’d experienced body shaming like that. I believed some of the words they were saying.”
After feeling “hurt” by people’s comments on her body, Gomez spoke about her choice of going t*pless for her subsequent album cover Revival.

“I’m not going to care,” she added. “ … I’m not going to let them get to me. I can do what I want.”

What is wrong with these people? Let's have a law that says before posting insulting comments about women's bodies, the commenter must post an unfiltered swimsuit picture of themselves for comparison. Granted, they shouldn't be posting such comments anyway but at least it will leave them open to a taste of their own medicine.

I actually had to stop reading the comments after reading the one that said "Very very disrespectful!" ...as if Selena Gomez is disrespecting that particular rando internet person by... wearing a bathing suit that she felt like wearing? It's hilarious on one hand that someone is so delusional that they think a famous actress even knows they exist, let alone is "being disrespectful" by looking "disgusting" in her swimsuit, but on the other hand it's also unbelievably pathetic and insulting. Man, people are so mean :(

My suggestion to these folks that feel the need to comment on women's bodies is to eat s**t and die, you're garbage.
