Actor Taylor Lautner came to the defense of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez after she received criticism for her physical change on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. The singer surprised everyone by showing a slimmer figure than in previous occasions, which generated negative comments on social media, where some users suggested that she had resorted to certain methods to lose weight.
Despite the criticism, Gomez's most loyal followers pointed out that her weight fluctuations are due to complications arising from her battle with lupus, a disease she has been fighting since 2013. Although Selena did not respond to the negative comments, her ex-partner, Taylor Lautner, decided to take action and posted a photo of her, accompanied by a statement directed at the 'haters.'
In the message, Lautner expressed: 'The world is cruel and full of hate. You will never please everyone, nor should you have to. And certainly not by the shape, color, or appearance of your body.' He also added: 'A daily reminder for all of us to not forget how beautiful we are inside and out... and to be a little kinder.'
It is worth noting that Selena Gomez and Taylor Lautner had a brief relationship in 2009, when the actor was gaining fame from his role in the 'Twilight' saga and she was working on the film 'Ramona and Beezus.' Amidst the criticism towards the singer, Lautner's intervention served to highlight the importance of acceptance and kindness in a world where negative criticism often prevails.
