Back in April, pictures of the ‘Texican’ ingénue wearing a Mint Swim pink bikini in Mexico were viciously picked apart by online trolls.

‘It was appalling. I had never experienced that before. I was sad. I was angry. I feel all of it,’ Gomez admitted to Refinery29.

Selena followed the criticism with an Instagram announcing she was happy with having ‘more to love’ on her 5ft5in figure.

‘I don’t want to become little or hurt or a victim. I want to be strong for girls. I just want them to know that there is an option of standing up for yourself,’ said the Same Old Love singer.

‘Some mornings you wake up and you’re like, “Everything about me is amazing!” And the next morning you’re like, “How did anybody ever sleep with me?”‘

The former Disney star – who boasts a combined 138.4M followers – admits to being a bit of a social media addict.

‘I’m young and suceptible. I’ll be looking at someone’s pictures and start feeling bad about myself. I’ll have to turn it off for a few days,’ Gomez revealed.

‘It’s also scary how it can turn into your life. It can be the first thing you check in the morning and the last thing you’re doing at the end of the day. Crazy.’

Selena said she had ‘no anger’ since receiving closure from ex-boyfriend, Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, last year.

‘We’ve seen each other. I’m always encouraging and I am proud of his journey. I think people are making it out to be something that is more tragic than it really was. We grew up together. We both made mistakes. That’s it,’ she stated.

However, the cherubic-faced beauty admitted: ‘Of course I got my heart broken. Of course I was p***ed about it.’

Gomez added: ‘I think there are people who have been in my life who are seasonal. Even people who I have dated have been just that. It’s part of growing up.’

Aside from the end of her on/off three-year relationship, Selena also underwent chemotherapy to treat the autoimmune disease, Lupus.

‘The year wasn’t just me trying to transition in my career — it was my whole life,’ she admitted.

‘I had to reconfigure everything. That was a little uncomfortable and very scary. I didn’t have anything to fall back on.’
