Selena Gomez’s ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner defended her against body-shaming critics after several commented on her figure at the 2025 SAG Awards.

The “Twilight” star took to his Instagram Stories Wednesday to reshare viral side-to-side comparison photos of Gomez from the 2024 and 2025 awards ceremonies, as several trolls claimed she had slimmed down in the past year.

“It’s a cruel world full of hate out there,” he wrote. “You can never please everyone nor should you have to. In my experience, it doesn’t make the words sting less, it just refocuses you onto what matters.”

“And it sure isn’t the shape, color or appearance of your body. Daily reminder to all of us to not forget how beautiful you are inside and out … and to be a little bit nicer,” Lautner, 33, concluded.

Reps for Gomez, 32, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

The actors briefly dated in 2009 while filming “Ramona and Beezus” and “Twilight: New Moon” in Canada, respectively.

Gomez stepped out in a blue off-the-shoulder dress for Sunday’s awards show and fans quickly hopped onto social media to claim the actress appeared slimmer.

“ozempic and plastic surgery are saving her career,” one person wrote on X, as another chimed in, “She must be on the ozempic bandwagon.”

Aside from Lautner, Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin rushed to the “Only Murders in the Building” star’s defense during Tuesday’s episode of “The View.”

Hostin called out the haters discussing Gomez’s body, saying she could’ve “lost this weight” because of her battle with lupus.

Goldberg agreed that it was “nobody’s business” to comment on the pop star’s figure.

The “Lose You to Love Me” songstress has previously touched on how her lupus treatment has led to her weight fluctuation.

“When I’m taking [the medicine], I tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally,” she said on TikTok in 2023.

“And then when I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight.”

Lupus is an autoimmune disease when the body’s immune system attacks its tissues and organs, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Just a few days before he took the stage at Coachella, Post Malone was served custody papers by his ex-fiancée.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the “Circles” singer, 29, was served custody papers after his ex-fiancée, Hee Sung “Jamie” Park, hired a process server to track down Malone, born Austin Post.

The musician, who took the stage at Coachella Weekend Two on Sunday, April 20, was served on Friday, April 18 at 1:29 p.m. in a Los Angeles parking garage.

A rep for Malone did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

On Wednesday, April 16, legal documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by PEOPLE revealed Malone’s ex-fiancée’s name for the first time as Park filed for custody of the couple’s 2½-year-old daughter.

In the filing, Park requested primary physical custody of her and the rapper’s daughter, who was referred to only by her initials — DDP.

According to the court document, Park is seeking joint legal custody and is willing to give Malone visitation rights.

In May 2022, Malone welcomed a daughter with his former fiancée, just weeks after he told PEOPLE they were expecting.

While he didn’t share an official birth announcement for his daughter, Malone revealed the news of his baby’s arrival on Howard Stern in June 2022.

Then in September 2023, Malone discussed his decision to maintain privacy when it came to his daughter and his former fiancée.

“I feel like a lot of people feel entitled to know every single detail of everyone’s life and it’s why I don’t want to post any pictures of my baby, because I want her to be able to make that decision whenever she wants to and is ready,” he told CR Fashion Book for the Muses issue.

However, in 2025, Malone and his ex appeared to have broken up when he was spotted out with a different woman in March.

At the time, TMZ shared a TikTok video captured by a fan who showed him at a bar sitting next to a woman who had been identified as Christy Lee. Malone and Lee have since been spotted in various locales in Rome and Paris.
