Selena Gomez is opening up about how her lupus medication has caused her weight gain and how she is dealing with it.

In a TikTok livestream clip shared on Twitter she tells fans that her medication has caused her to gain weight.  “[When I’m taking it, I] tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally. When I’m off of it, I tend to lose weight.”  She adds, “I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they’re going through, and no one knows the real story.”

Gomez also shares her experience with body image due to the medication. “Not a model, never will be.  And I think they’re awesome, mind you. I’m just definitely not that.”
