Selena Gomez Breaking Down the 'Beauty Myth' After Being Body Shamed Is a Lesson in Accepting Imperfection

Selena Gomez has grown stronger and more confident throughout her career, and it's been an inspiring journey to watch. The pop star has struggled with relatable things like body image, and is using her celebrity platform to show that it's important to love yourself no matter what you look like.

The singer was recently photographed on a yacht in Australia, where she wore a bikini that showcased the prominent scar on her thigh that was a result from her kidney transplant last year. Her stretch marks are also on display, but she appears to be more carefree and living in the moment rather than being weary about her imperfect body. But naturally people began to body shame Selena once the photos hit the internet. And she responded with a mature statement.
