Grimes Breaks Silence: The Truth Behind Selena Gomez’s Shocking Transformation and Online Backlash
Mirror, mirror, on the internet wall…who’s the cruelest of them all? If you’ve ever posted a selfie and winced at a petty comment, imagine being Selena Gomez—a pop superstar whose latest music video for “In the Dark” (hello, Netflix!) wasn’t just about a new look, but apparently an open invitation for an Olympic-level roast. I mean, give the girl a break! She dares to debut new bangs and suddenly the keyboard critics are lining up with their own unsolicited plastic surgery opinions…as if they’re all auditioning for “Botched.”
Now, here’s the plot twist—Grimes, electronic music’s wild child and Twitter’s resident philosopher, has swooped in to defend Selena with a kind of ferocity that makes you want to stand up and cheer . (Or maybe log off forever, as Grimes herself admits). If social media’s the villain, is Grimes our sarcastic fairy godmother?
But real talk—when did high school drama enroll the entire internet? Why do we act like digital mean girls, second-guessing someone’s face they’ve never even seen in 4K? With body shaming turning into a group sport, it’s little wonder Selena’s mental fortitude is basically Olympic-grade . Maybe it’s time we ask: Are we evolving—or just getting really good at hiding behind a screen? If this is culture, honey, someone hit refresh.

Grimes has backed fellow singer Selena Gomez after she was ‘bullied’ by trolls following the release of her new track.
Gomez is said to have debuted a ‘new look’ in the music video for ‘In the Dark’, which came out last week for Netflix’s second series of Nobody Wants This.
Gomez unfortunately often faces critique of her appearance, with this first solo song in over a year leading to more of that.
People are wrongfully honing in on the 33-year-old’s facial features, accusing her of having too much ‘surgery’ or Botox.
The Disney star has been open about dealing with a lot of negative comments on social media about her appearance, while also discussing living with autoimmune disease, Lupus, which can lead to changes in her appearance.

And Grimes has now spoken out hugely in her defence, as she took to Twitter to say after ‘like 48 hours’ on the internet, she ‘might have to leave’.
“Watched this Selena Gomez video, besides a few weird derp shots that ppl were able to clip and super misrepresent how she looks she looks extremely beautiful, is prob one of the most beautiful girls,” the Canadian wrote.
“Imagine what it wud feel like if people talked about you this way. Try to imagine the mental fortitude she presumably has. How do we not utterly morally castigate someone who has a post like this blows up and chooses to keep the clout at the expense of everybody’s mental health. How do u think little girls feel reading stuff like this about another woman?”

Grimes said it should ‘not be ok to do high school level bullying’.
The ex of Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, continued: “Accounts shud be suspended for body shaming en masse. This is disturbing – in part because it’s not even true if u actually watch this video.”
Grimes went on to say she has ‘no context’ as to ‘what celebrities do’ but that she believes ‘this place is unhealthy as f**k’.
“This being socially acceptable behaviour is culture death – not just for the Selena or the writer but everyone who sees this and engages with this level of dehumanization,” she added.
Gomez previously said during the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast that she’s just ‘human’.
“So of course sometimes I read things, but I do most of the time ignore everything,” she added. “There are ways to combat it – I understand the power of what social media is, it’s just tricky.”
