Selena Gomez speaks up on speculation about the way she speaks

Selena Gomez gets candid about shifts in her vocal tone, linking it to her health while discussing lupus, arthritis, and melasma with fans.

"There’s no excuse. I don’t really care. I think my point is that sometimes things happen. – Selena Gomez"

Los Angeles, Dec 18

Hollywood actress-singer Selena Gomez feels "vulnerable" about her voice. The actress-singer, 33, answered a fan question about how her vocal tone has shifted in recent years on an Instagram Live session.

“Yeah I’ve gotten this question a few times. The voice thing. So, sometimes when I’m on, nevermind”, she said, before switching gears. “There’s no excuse. I don’t really care. I think my point is that sometimes things happen. I get weird. My throat kind of swells inside sometimes. That’s all”.

The singer and actress has been candid in the past about the challenges she’s faced following her lupus and bipolar disorder diagnosis, reports ‘People’ magazine.

In an episode of ‘Good Hang with Amy Poehler’ podcast, she revealed that she struggles with arthritis from lupus, and that helped influence the packaging of her Rare Beauty products.

"I have arthritis in my fingers, and that’s due to my lupus. So, I remember before the brand, I was trying to open a water bottle and it hurt really bad before I was on the right medication. And we somehow inherently made the products easy to open, and then we realized, wait, they kind of have to be that way. And then we started to make every product with the intention of (working for) anybody who (has) dexterity problems”.

As per ‘People’, she has also answered other lighthearted questions about her health. Last week, she shared one such question in a video on her Instagram Stories.

A make-up free Gomez told viewers, "someone made me laugh because they asked me, 'How do you shave your mustache?'”. She then went on to point out that she doesn't have a five o'clock shadow, but instead the discoloration was due to "my melasma”.

“I take care of it and treat it, but yeah it's there. I totally get it. It's from the sun”, the singer explained while encouraging her followers to use sunscreen.

Respect for her honesty. But honestly, why are people so obsessed with a celebrity's voice changing? She's dealing with serious health issues. We should focus on her work and her positive message about inclusive beauty products.

The part about designing products for people with dexterity problems is amazing. That's real inclusivity. We need more Indian brands to think like this, not just for glamour but for actual accessibility. 👏

As someone who follows her music, I never noticed her voice change. It's sad that fans pick on such trivial things when she's being so open about her journey. More power to her.

Melasma from the sun is so common here in India! Glad she's normalizing it. We spend so much on fairness creams, but sunscreen is the real hero. Her vulnerability is refreshing.

While I admire her candor, I feel the article focuses a bit too much on the 'vulnerable' angle. She's a strong, successful businesswoman with Rare Beauty. That's the bigger story, na?
