Body-shaming trolls have been warned. If you aren't being supportive, you can "go away."

Selena Gomez said just that when she addressed the attention focused on her recent weight gain in a TikTok livestream.

The Only Murders in the Building star has explained over and over the medication she takes for lupus has various side effects, including shaky hands—which was also previously a focus for some trolls—and bloating caused by water retention.

During her livestream she shared:

"I tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally. When I'm off of [the medication], I tend to lose weight."
"Really, guys, I just wanted to... encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they're going through, and nobody knows the real story."

She continued:

"I just want people to know that you're beautiful and you're wonderful. Yeah, we have days where maybe we feel like sh*t, but I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself."
"And my medications are important, and I believe they are what helps me."
"Not a model, never will be. I think they're awesome, mind you, I'm just definitely not that."

She finished with a message for both her fans and haters:

"I just wanted to tell you I love you guys, and thanks for supporting me and understanding."
"And if not, go away, 'cause honestly, I don't believe in shaming people for their body or anything."

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.
