Selena Gomez loves fast food, and she doesn't care what the haters say.

Gomez took to her TikTok Stories on Sunday to talk about a recent trip to Jack in the Box, and spoke up against the criticism she's seen about her body.

"So I be trying to stay skinny, but I went to Jack in the Box and I got four tacos, three egg rolls, onion rings, and a spicy chicken sandwich," Gomez said in the clip, which was captured by the Instagram account @selenagomezecu2.0.

"But honestly, I don't care about my weight because people bitch about it anyway," she added.

Gomez said she's heard people say "you're too big," or that her clothes don't fit.

"Meh, meh, meh, meh," she continued. "Bitch, I am perfect the way I am. Moral of the story? Bye."

Gomez has been candid about her weight for years, revealing in a 2019 interview that she began struggling with "body image stuff" shortly after she was diagnosed with lupus and had to undergo an emergency kidney transplant in 2017.

The "Only Murders in the Building" star said she began taking medication for the chronic autoimmune disease, which caused her weight to fluctuate every month.

"I really noticed when people started attacking me for that," Gomez said during the interview with her friend Raquelle Stevens on the "Giving Back Generation" video podcast.

"And in reality, that's just my truth. I fluctuate. It depends what's happening in my life," Gomez added.

Earlier this month, Gomez revealed she's been offline for the last four and a half years.

"It has changed my life completely. I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people," she told "Good Morning America."

"I understand how powerful the internet is, and in so many ways, it's done the best things for the world," she added. "But for me, to get my news that is actually important I get through people in my life."
