I don’t have anything to prove: Selena Gomez slams the beauty myth

Selena Gomez has slammed the beauty myth in an Instagram video, claiming that she doesn’t have “anything to prove” after being snapped in her bikini.

The 25-year-old was photographed on a yacht in her swimwear, which revealed a scar from the emergency follow-up procedure of her 2017 kidney transplant.

The Heart Wants What It Wants singer took to social media to slam critics for body-shaming her after the photos emerged.

 Gomez posted an inspirational message alongside a montage of her having fun with friends on the yacht on Monday.

She captions the video: “The beauty myth- an obsession with physical perfection that traps a modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty.

“I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone. Wind in her sails.”

Gomez underwent a kidney transplant last summer after battling Lupus, an autoimmune disease that attacks the body’s healthy tissue and organs which left her in need of a new kidney.

Selena Gomez’s best friend Francia Raisa donated her kidney to the star, which Gomez described as the ultimate gift and sacrifice.

After laying low over the summer, she shared the news with her fans on Instagram, writing: “I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of.

So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health.

“I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you.
