A shocking controversy has erupted after co-hosts of ‘The View’ allegedly mocked Selena Gomez’s appearance, sparking outrage among fans and critics alike.
The Grammy-nominated singer and actress, known for her stunning looks and empowering messages about body positivity, found herself at the center of a cruel discussion that many are calling unjustified and downright mean-spirited.
The heated moment reportedly unfolded during a recent episode of ‘The View,’ where the panel began discussing celebrity appearances and body image. At some point, the conversation turned to Selena Gomez, and what followed left fans in disbelief.
According to viewers who quickly took to social media to voice their outrage, the co-hosts made comments that many interpreted as mocking and degrading Gomez’s looks. Whether it was an attack on her weight, facial features, or style, one thing is clear—fans were NOT happy.
The backlash was immediate and explosive. Fans of Selena Gomez, known as Selenators, quickly flooded social media with the hashtag #RespectSelena, slamming the show for what they saw as a disgusting and unnecessary attack on the beloved singer.
"This is disgusting! Selena Gomez has always promoted body positivity, and ‘The View’ has the audacity to mock her? Canceled!" one Twitter/X user wrote.
Another fan added:
"Why do grown women think it’s okay to tear down another woman on national TV? Selena has been through so much, and this is just cruel!"
As the backlash intensified, clips from the show began circulating online, with many pointing out the hypocrisy of a show that claims to empower women while tearing down a successful, confident, and talented woman like Gomez.
What makes the situation even more disturbing is the fact that Selena Gomez has been open and vulnerable about her health struggles and the impact they’ve had on her body.
For years, Gomez has battled lupus, an autoimmune disease that affects millions worldwide. She has also undergone a kidney transplant, which resulted in weight fluctuations and side effects—something she has never hidden from her fans.
Instead of hiding away, Gomez has consistently used her platform to promote self-love, mental health awareness, and body positivity—making the alleged remarks from ‘The View’ even more hurtful.
As the controversy continues to escalate, many are now calling for an official apology from the show. Some are even demanding that the co-hosts responsible for the comments be held accountable or even removed from the show.
"Selena Gomez has done NOTHING but spread kindness and positivity. If ‘The View’ can’t see that, they don’t deserve to be on air!" another fan wrote.
Despite the mounting criticism, ‘The View’ has yet to release an official statement, leaving many wondering if the show will attempt to brush the controversy under the rug or face it head-on.
So far, Selena Gomez has remained silent on the matter, choosing not to engage in the controversy.
However, her fans are making sure her voice is heard, flooding social media with messages of love and support. Gomez has long been known for rising above negativity, so many believe she may take the high road rather than respond to the hate.
Still, given her past history of addressing body-shaming head-on, some wouldn’t be surprised if she eventually speaks out against the toxic culture that continues to attack women’s appearances.
As calls for accountability continue to grow, ‘The View’ is facing immense pressure to address the controversy. Will they issue a formal apology? Will they dismiss the backlash as "misunderstood humor"? Or will they face the full force of cancel culture?
One thing is certain: Selena Gomez deserves better.
And her fans aren’t backing down until she gets the respect she deserves.
