Selena Gomez is under attack over allegations that she uses vapes

Selena Gomez faced harassment after she was suspected of buying a vape. It all started with an Instagram photo* in which she covered her hand with hearts, which some thought looked like she was hiding a vape.

At first, many thought that Selena Gomez was hinting at her engagement to her boyfriend Benny Blanco with this photo, but then someone online zoomed in on the photo and saw the outline of a vape. The actress's followers didn't like this at all, because they fear for her health. And not without reason: in 2017, Selena's friend Francia Raisa donated her kidney to the actress after she needed a transplant due to systemic lupus erythematosus (a serious autoimmune disease).

This disease imposes quite serious restrictions: in particular, it is necessary to strictly limit food and say goodbye to bad habits. Therefore, subscribers on the network began to poison Selena: "I can't believe that her friend risked her life and gave her her kidney, and she smokes this crap. Horrible", "She just wants attention", "She does not deserve this kidney". But some sided with Selena: "You will be able to judge her if you yourself encounter such a disease in your youth", "Leave her alone".

This isn't the first time Selena has faced criticism for her bad habits: In 2018, Selena and Francia Raisa had a falling out because Selena stopped following doctors' recommendations, ignored her diet, and began abusing alcohol. This spring, fans decided that the situation was repeating itself because Selena began posting explicit photos on social media, which she then deleted. Many believed that Selena had started using illegal substances and alcohol again, and began to blame her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco.

At one time, Selena went through depression due to her breakup with Justin Bieber. Many believe that she is still upset about their relationship and blame Justin's new wife, Hailey Bieber, for the breakup.
