This condition is usually caused by ‘surgery or illness’. ‘Symptoms include bloating, stomach pain and malnutrition.’

Some fans thought Selena’s red dress meant she voted for Donald Trump because red is traditionally the color of the Republican Party.

But Selena is an outspoken Democrat and has been highly critical of Trump’s campaign, especially after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at a rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27.

Selena, who is Mexican-American, has since said she “strongly disagrees with any of the comments that were made,” referring to the disparaging comments the disgraced comedian made towards the candidate.

‘I definitely want to be there for my people,’ he added.
