Selena Gomez Opens Up About Lupus Diagnosis Following Her Sudden Weight Loss at SAG Awards

Selena Gomez has opened up about her noticeable weight loss, which became a topic of discussion after her appearance at the SAG Awards.

The singer and actress revealed that her weight changes are due to medications she takes to manage her lupus, an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs.

Addressing the concerns, Selena stated: “When I’m taking [the medicine], I tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally.

“And then when I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight.”

Recalling back on her 2023 interview for the Apple TV+ series, she talked about her weight, mentioning that it “fluctuates.”

she added saying: “My weight would constantly fluctuate because I would be on certain medications.

“And obviously, people just ran with it… It was like they couldn’t wait to find a thing to bring me down. I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus.”
