Selena Gomez poses almost naked on Instagram after going public with her relationship with The Weeknd. In the photo shared by photographer Mert Alas, the "Hands to Myself" hitmaker wears nothing but a nude thong.

Selena shows off her backside while posing in front of a mirror. Mert takes her picture from behind. The "Good for You" songstress covers her boobs with a white towel. The photographer captions it, "Beauty and the Beast."

Mert, however, removes the pic after he receives backlash from haters. "F**k bodyshaming," one commenter writes. "I'm not a Selenator anymore she's a fucking b***h I can't believe it," a second commenter writes. "Selena is a hoe people.. and a attention seeker," another one adds.

Some Selenators, however, ask Mert to repost the photo. A fan posts, "Y'all make him delete that Selena picture. CHILDISH MOTHERF***ERS." Another one adds, "Turn off your comments and repost it. F**k them."
