Benny Blanco faces online criticism and Selena rushes to his rescue
The singer recently took to social media to defend her relationship with producer Benny Blanco in response to criticism from certain fans who believe she “downgraded” him.
The argument was started by Gomez posting pictures of herself with Blanco on her Instagram stories, which seemed to validate their relationship.
On Twitter and other social media platforms, several fans voiced their disapproval of the relationship by drawing comparisons between Blanco and Gomez’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber.
The “Calm Down” singer was not going to take the vitriol lying down. She boldly confronted the insulting remarks in a single post, saying, “Facts.” She said, “He’s better than anyone I’ve ever been with,” in a separate statement.
Even though Gomez took down the comments, the message was clear: she is content with Blanco and would not tolerate criticism of their relationship.
Gomez has previously stated that she opposes animosity and body shaming. She has encouraged her followers to value and accept their bodies by sharing her experiences with melancholy and worry.
