LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Selena Gomez, 32, is in her no-nonsense era and she didn't mince her words while firing back at those who "victimized" her for sharing the heartbreaking reason she's unable to carry her own children.

In a viral video from 'Women in Film dinner in Beverly Hills, the 'Only Murders in the Building' star said, "I truly believe that there is power in being vulnerable and telling people when you need help or when you want help — that is not shameful." 

She added, "So yeah, I shared that I can’t carry a child. Yeah, I shared that I have bipolar. F**k off. That’s what my life is. That’s who I am."

Selena Gomez tells women not to listen to people who try to victimize them

Selena Gomez, who attended the Thursday, September 19 event with her sister Gracie Teefey, 11, delivered this emotional yet empowering message while speaking directly to the women in attendance.

"I really want to be an advocate for women, and that’s why I share; that’s why I like to be honest because everybody’s going through something," said the singer-turned-actress, before adding, "I don’t have it all put together. I’m not a, you know, whatever. I am me, and that’s all I can be."

Selena didn't hold back as she encouraged everyone to stand strong in the face of criticism, saying, "Do not ever let anyone tell you that you are not a good person. Screw anyone who tells you you’re a victim. You’re a survivor in my book."

Selena Gomez looks forward to building a family through surrogacy or adoption

Selena Gomez first revealed her inability to carry children in a candid interview with Vanity Fair on September 9.

She shared, "I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while."

The Emmy-nominated actress' health struggles have been well-documented, from her 2013 lupus diagnosis to her 2017 kidney transplant and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018. Despite these challenges, the singer remains optimistic about building a family through surrogacy or adoption.

"It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it," admitted Gomez to the outlet, adding, "I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me."

She noted, "It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby."
