In The Dark marked the first solo single by Selena Gomez in nearly two years. However, some fans focused on the pop icon’s alleged cosmetic surgery.
In the midst of intense scrutiny, Grims throws his weight behind the musician. In a post on X, she writes, “I’ve been on the internet for, like, 48 hours, and despite minor benefits, I might have to go.”
She continues: “Watched this Selena Gomez video; aside from a few weird derp shots that people were able to cut and super misrepresentation of what she looks like, she looks extremely beautiful and is probably one of the most beautiful girls.”
“Imagine how it would feel if people talked about you like this. Try to imagine the mental strength she probably has,” writes the 37-year-old.
“How do we not completely morally lash out at someone who gets a post like this blown up and chooses to stay in power at the expense of everyone’s mental health? How do you think little girls feel about reading something like this about another woman?” she adds.
The discourse, Grimes concludes, is “unhealthy as **c** — not just for Selena or the writer, but for anyone who sees this and engages in this level of dehumanization.”
