Selena Gomez said this week she "lied" about not being hurt by social media trolls writing negative comments about her body.  "I lied.

I would go online and I would post a picture of myself and say [the negative comments] don't matter, I'm not accepting what you're saying — all the while being in the room posting that, crying my eyes out, because nobody deserves to hear those things," the 30-year-old said on her episode of Apple TV+’s "Dear…" that aired on Friday, according to BuzzFeed.

"It was like they couldn't wait to find a thing to bring me down.
