Who is Martin Cirio? Argentine YouTuber Faces Backlash Over Remarks About Selena Gomez

Argentine YouTube personality Martin Cirio is facing criticism online after making controversial remarks about singer and actress Selena Gomez. In a viral video, Cirio suggested that Gomez may have used Ozempic, referencing her lupus diagnosis.

A translation of Cirio’s Spanish comments, shared by @WorldwideSelG on September 2, 2025, revealed him recalling statements Gomez made about her body. Cirio said she had previously described herself as swollen in her 20s:

“Her face looked like it was about to burst. And look at her now, with that body, from her 20s. So of course, and it’s fine. I say, I’m not criticizing what she is today. We’re all in that. So well, it’s over, dude.”

Cirio also questioned whether Gomez was recently diagnosed with lupus or had been dealing with it throughout her life. He commented on her physical appearance, stating:

“When she was fat, she swelled up like a toad. Dude, and what happened? Her lupus went away, Megatrainor. Now she’s skinny. Megatraitor, she should be Mega traitor. Fat, traitor, how much she used to make.”

As of now, Selena Gomez has not responded to Cirio’s remarks.
