  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">In case you didn’t know, Taylor and Selena dated briefly back in 2009, when Taylor was filming <i>Twilight: New Moon</i>, and Selena was filming <i>Ramona and Beezus.</i> Speaking to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/selena-gomez-fling-with-taylor-lautner-was-fun-200958/" target="_blank"><i>Seventeen</i></a> back then, Selena called their fling “fun,” but confirmed that the two split because of media attention, saying, “I knew he had paparazzi following him and I had paparazzi following me. People were getting a little crazy about us.”</span>

  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">Following her recent appearance at the SAG Awards, Selena — who is now happily engaged to Benny Blanco — has sadly been the subject of a ton of online scrutiny around her weight.</span>

  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">On Feb. 24, Glamour published an opinion piece titled, “<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.glamour.com/story/its-okay-to-feel-hurt-when-celebrities-lose-weight-but-lets-unpack-it" target="_blank">It’s Okay to Feel Hurt When Celebrities Lose Weight—but Let’s Unpack It</a>,” with the title image being of Selena. The article stated that criticism of celebrities' weight loss was ultimately contributing to the unfair judgment of people without accounting for what may or may not be going on in their lives. The writer, Alex Light, said, “If we want body neutrality—which I know I do!—we must give women the freedom to make decisions about their bodies without judgment.”</span>

  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">The following day, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSFHhpgMoFo" target="_blank"><i>The View</i></a> co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin agreed with the article’s statements about celebrities’ boundaries and defended Selena against the speculation occurring. “Why look to a complete stranger for inspiration?” asked Sunny. “You don’t know what’s going on in that person’s life. Selena Gomez suffers from lupus, so weight is a part of that condition. And so she may have lost this weight for her health condition.”</span>

  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">“And it’s none of your business!” Whoopi added enthusiastically, before continuing on to explain that celebrities’ choices were nobody’s decision but their own.</span>

  <span class="js-subbuzz__title-text">And yesterday, Selena’s ex Taylor posted a statement on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/taylorlautner/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> echoing the sentiment. Sharing a side-by-side photoset of Selena, he wrote a lengthy message asking people to be “a little bit nicer.”</span>
