Grimes is absolutely cracking down hard on what she calls “high school level bullying” after a cruel body-shaming post about Selena Gomez went viral on X. The singer, whose real name is Claire Boucher, launched into a lengthy defense of Gomez after blurry, warped stills from the pop star’s new music video, In the Dark, were used by a commenter to criticize her appearance.
One particularly awful tweet claimed Gomez had plastic surgery and had “come out looking like an X Files monster of the week.” Grimes didn’t mince words, calling for accounts to be suspended en masse for body shaming, and even admitted the whole disgusting situation made her think she “might have to leave” the internet altogether.
