In a brief comment she posted on a TikTok video earlier on Saturday, Selena Gomez stated that she was “always skinny” when she was dating Justin Bieber. 

The 30-year-old actress from Only Murders in the Building merely responded to the video with a depressing smiley face, sharing a number of pictures of herself purportedly looking “skinny” when she dated Peaches hitmaker. 

Since it was released on November 29 of last month, the clip has had 3.7 million views, and the singer’s comment has already received around 40,000 likes.    “The reason why Selena is always skinny when she dates Justin,” was written by the video’s author. 

“He prefers to model,” the creator said in the comment, referring to Selena as “my poor baby.” 

The slideshow video featured a variety of old pictures of the Wolves singer, along with a clip purportedly showing the star’s response to a fan who said Justin had “messed up” but still supported “Jelena.” 

The screenshot purported to show that Selena had typed, “No love.” He resembles a model. I’m simply too typical.  

In response to Selena’s straightforward remark, the TikTok inventor typed out “YOU DID NOT” and two sobbing face emojis. 

In the comments section, other social media users deluged the page with their own conjectures about the true meaning of the sad face emoji. Some suggested that she was expressing her dissatisfaction and anguish over being criticised for her appearance. 

‘She was always thin, she simply gained a bit of weight lately, but she’s still lovely,’ a fan commented. You guys are reaching. 

Others had brought up her 2015 diagnosis of lupus, which required her to take medication and undergo a kidney transplant in 2017. The celebrity has also been transparent about how the medicine caused her to gain and lose weight suddenly.
