Taylor Lautner is defending Selena Gomez on social media as users continue to body-shame her after her recent SAG Awards 2025 appearance.

The 33-year-old Twilight actor re-shared a photo on his Instagram Stories, originally posted by body positivity activist Alex Light. The collage highlighted contradictory comments about Gomez’s body over the years.

Lautner exposed the harsh reality of online criticism, emphasizing that trying to please everyone is impossible and unnecessary.

The Abduction star wrote in his post, “It’s a cruel world full of hate out there. You can never please everyone, nor should you have to. In my experience, it doesn’t make the words sting less, it just refocuses you onto what matters. And it sure isn’t the shape, color, or appearance of your body.”

“Daily reminder to all of us to not forget how beautiful you are inside and out,” Lautner concluded.

Light’s post shed light on the ongoing backlash over Gomez’s weight, noting that some people body-shamed her in 2024. Recent comments have continued fueling speculation that she is using weight loss medication.

Lautner has faced online negativity about his changing body image and discussed it on his podcast, “The Squeeze”, in February 2023. He revealed that his physique changed after Twilight, leading to intense public scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Selena Gomez, 32, has openly discussed the body image struggles she faced after her lupus diagnosis and kidney transplant in 2017, which caused her weight to fluctuate.

Taylor Lautner emphasized that true happiness does not come from physical appearance and stressed the importance of focusing on overall well-being.
