Taylor Lautner Defends Ex Selena Gomez Against "Cruel" Body Shamers

Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez at the premiere of Abduction in 2011.

One of the most fun parts of award season is taking in the stars' red carpet looks and deciding which ones you like best. But while judging an outfit is one thing, criticizing someone's body is another story. Unfortunately, this form of hate is something that people are still participating in online, and a lot of it was recently directed at Selena Gomez, particularly after she attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 23. People began criticizing Gomez's appearance, claiming that she must be taking a weight loss drug and just generally saying cruel things about her.

In reaction to this, Gomez's ex, Taylor Lautner, spoke out about the body shaming, defending the actor and giving an important reminder to those who need a confidence boost and to those who need to be kinder to others.
