Singer Selena Gomez has been lauded for explaining the changes that happen to her body when she takes medication for her lupus.

The 30-year-old singer was previously open regarding her diagnosis, but has recently been subjected to bad comments regarding her appearance.

Selena told her fans in a live broadcast on the TikTok platform that when she takes the drug, her body “retains a large amount of water.”

“I’d much rather be healthy and take care of myself,” she said.
