Selena Gomez responds to plastic surgery rumours

Selena Gomez is so done with speculations about her look and would love for fans to just calm down.

Following Selena's outburst in the comment section of her video, the TikToker, who goes by the name Marissa Barrionuevo, posted an apology note. “You don’t owe it to anyone to tell us why you don’t look the same as what you did when you were a teenager or in your 20s,” said the creator. Responding to it in the comment section, Selena wrote, "I love you. Not about you. I just get sad sometimes."
