Selena Gomez, the renowned singer and actress, recently made headlines when she candidly revealed that she has undergone Botox treatments. But this revelation wasn’t just about beauty; it was also a powerful response to critics who had negative things to say about her appearance and her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco.
The drama unfolded on Instagram, where Selena and Benny faced a barrage of comments after confirming their relationship. One person went so far as to call Benny “so unhandsome.” Selena’s reply? A simple, “Feel bad for you.”
But the real mic-drop moment came when another user criticized Selena’s looks and suggested she remove her cheek fillers or implants. Selena’s response? “Hahahaha I’ve had Botox, bb girl.”
This was the first time Selena publicly acknowledged her use of cosmetic injectables, but she has always been open about her beauty journey. In a December 7 interview with WWD, she explained how her perception of beauty has evolved over the years. “I think my version of beauty was a bit affected because I’ve been working since I was seven and I’ve always had makeup on,” she said. “But I genuinely feel like I am happy whenever I get to do my makeup now. And I get to feel really positive about the experience.”
Selena’s approach to beauty aligns with her brand, Rare Beauty. The company’s mission is to encourage self-care, self-love, and provide a safe space for people to share their stories. “We center everything on wanting people to take care of themselves and love who they are,” Selena emphasized. “It’s just incredible to see how Rare has created that space.”
And while Selena may shed a tear or two when reading comments, she remains unapologetically true to herself. Her recent declaration about Botox serves as a reminder that beauty is multifaceted, and everyone deserves to feel positive about their appearance—whether they’ve had cosmetic procedures or not.
As for her relationship with Benny Blanco, Selena isn’t letting the noise affect her happiness. She recently gushed about him, calling him “my absolute everything in my heart.” And to those who doubt their connection, she has a clear message: “If you can’t accept me at my happiest, then don’t be in my life at all.”
Selena Gomez continues to inspire with her authenticity, resilience, and commitment to self-love. And who knows? Maybe her next hit song will be about embracing imperfections and celebrating individuality. 🎶💕
