Selena Gomez bundles up in black before displaying her legs in mini skirt

Selena Gomez was New York chic in head-to-toe black when she surfaced in New York City on a chilly December day this week.

Wrapped in a fur coat that may have been fur, she smiled warmly as she was approached by fans hoping for autographs. She was later seen wearing a chic Louis Vuitton mini skirt as she made her way to a Q&A at Metrograph movie theater. 

The Come And Get it singer’s latest outing comes after she hit the headlines for responding to a viral TikTok about her weight.

A fan of hers on TikTok posted images of her looking particularly thin, purportedly taken when she was dating Justin Bieber.

The TikToker floated a theory that Selena kept herself in trim for Justin because ‘He rathers models..My poor baby. #selenagomez’.

Selena commented on the video with a sad emoji, sending her fans into a tizzy and prompting speculation about whether she agreed with the TikTok.

A few years ago on the podcast Giving Back Generation she shared that her weight fluctuates because of ‘the medication I have to take for the rest of my life’ for lupus.

Justin is indeed currently married to the model Hailey Bieber, who over the years has been frequently trolled by some Selena fans.

Selena however has indicated that there is no bad blood between her and Hailey, whom she cuddled up to for the cameras at the Academy Museum gala in October.

In a subsequent interview with Vulture, Selena said the snaps with Hailey were ‘not a big deal’ and added: ‘It’s not even a thing.’ 

Photographer Tyrell Hampton, who captured one of the images of Hailey and Selena at the gala, posted it to Instagram at the time and wrote: ‘plot twist.’  

Hailey had already previously indicated on the Call Her Daddy podcast that her equation with Selena was ‘all respect’ – and during the same interview she staunchly denied that Justin had cheated on Selena with her. 

Selena and Justin were teenage sweethearts but had their last breakup in 2018, months before he had a courthouse marriage to Hailey.

The month after Justin married Hailey, Selena reportedly suffered a breakdown connected to her lupus and entered treatment for her mental health.

A day after news broke of Selena’s alleged breakdown, Justin was spotted looking anguished as he sat in his car beside Hailey.

Hailey has received blowback from diehard Selena fans throughout her relationship with Justin, whom she has now been married to for over four years.

When Justin and Hailey attended the Americana-themed Met Gala together in September 2021, onlookers chanted ‘Selena!’ at them. 

Hailey’s cousin Ireland claimed that the couple were unfazed by the jeering Selena fans, writing on social media: ‘They’re one of the happiest and most in love couples I’ve ever gotten the chance to be around. They don’t care about them.’

Back in 2020 Justin shared a social media post by a Selena fan who encouraged others to flood Hailey’s livestream with remarks that ‘Jelena was better.’

‘It is extremely hard to choose the high road when I see people like this try and rally to gather people to bully the person I love the most in this world,’ Justin wrote. 

Hailey became so exasperated that this April she posted a TikTok begging the trolls who are ‘in my comments every single time I post’ to ‘leave me alone, please.’

Possibly referring to how long ago Justin and Selena broke up, she added: ‘Enough time has gone by where it’s valid to leave me alone. I beg of you, truly.’
