Selena Gomez Vaping Sparks Health Concerns Amid Lupus Battle
SELENA GOMEZ'S SHOCKING VAPING HABIT LEAVES FANS CONCERNED FOR HER HEALTH
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Selena Gomez has sparked widespread alarm among her devoted fans after a now-viral Instagram video revealed her alleged vaping habit. The 32-year-old pop star, who has been open about her struggles with lupus and kidney disease, was seen exhaling a vapor-like mist as she scrolled through her iPhone.
The footage, shared by a fan account, shows Gomez getting ready for a night out with pal Taylor Swift on May 31. As she sits in front of the mirror, makeup artist Hung Vanngo applies her eyeliner while another angle shows her holding what appears to be an e-cigarette or vape pen.
Fans have been left reeling, expressing their deep concern for Gomez's health due to the potential effects vaping could have on her lupus symptoms or kidney function. "This is so worrying," one fan commented. "I hope she gets help ASAP." Another user chimed in, "Why would you do this, Selena? You're a role model to millions of young people."
But not everyone is convinced that Gomez's vaping habit is cause for alarm. Some fans have come to her defense, arguing that it's none of our business what she chooses to do with her body. "She's an adult, let her make her own decisions," one user wrote. Another added, "If it's harming someone else, then maybe we should be concerned. But if it's just between Selena and her doctor, then who are we to judge?"
The news has also sparked a heated debate about the potential risks of vaping on kidney function. While the long-term effects are still being studied, experts warn that vaping can activate the immune system and exacerbate lupus symptoms.
Gomez has been open about her struggles with lupus and kidney disease, having undergone a kidney transplant in 2017 after being diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder in 2013. In her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me, she spoke candidly about experiencing excruciating pain "everywhere" due to her condition.
However, this latest controversy has left many wondering if Gomez is putting her health at risk once again. As one fan put it, "Selena's always been open with us about her struggles, but vaping is a whole different story. I hope she gets help and prioritizes her health."
Thescholarlynote.com has reached out to representatives for Gomez for comment but has yet to receive a response.
SELENA'S KIDNEY DONOR Francia Raisa WEIGHS IN
But it's not just Gomez's vaping habit that's got fans talking. The controversy has also sparked memories of her tumultuous relationship with kidney donor Francia Raisa, who underwent surgery to donate one of her kidneys to Gomez in 2017.
Raisa has been a constant presence in Gomez's life, having appeared alongside her at public events and even sharing a joint interview on the Today show after the transplant. However, their friendship hit a rough patch in 2022 when Gomez failed to mention Raisa in her Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me.
Fans were left reeling as Raisa unfollowed Gomez on Instagram shortly after the film's release. "I would get so mad if I was the donor," one fan commented.
But it seems that the two have reconciled once again, with Raisa even appearing at Gomez's 30th birthday party in July 2022 and sharing a TikTok video of them having fun together that same month.
In a recent interview, Raisa spoke candidly about her experience as Gomez's kidney donor, revealing that it was a personal choice and not something she was "forced" to do. "It was definitely just an act of kindness," she said. "I've been blessed since."
As the drama surrounding Gomez's health continues to unfold, fans are left wondering what other surprises this pop star has in store for us. Stay tuned, folks!
