Selena Gomez, the famous pop star and actress, has found herself at the center of a social media storm after sharing a tearful video about recent immigration raids. The video, which she later deleted, aimed to bring attention to the plight of undocumented immigrants, but instead, it sparked a wave of criticism and online memes.
In her heartfelt message, Selena spoke about the pain of seeing families and children torn apart due to immigration policies. “These are people. Families. Children. They’re being torn apart, and it’s heartbreaking. I can’t just sit here and not say anything,” she said, clearly moved by the situation.
However, many online users were quick to criticize Selena. Some called her out for being out of touch, with one user accusing her of being overly dramatic. Others questioned her gratitude toward the opportunities she’s had in the U.S., pointing out that she’s a successful celebrity who made her fortune in America.
One of the loudest critics was conservative commentator Benny Johnson, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his discontent. He wrote, “Selena Gomez is American. Her mom is American. Her Mexican father abandoned them. She went from living in a small Texas home to a $5M palace in LA. She’s a billionaire because of America. Yet she does not consider us ‘her people.’ We are over ungrateful woke victim brain rot.”
Some even joked about Selena’s video, with one commenter sarcastically writing, “When I’m in a making-things-about-myself competition and Selena Gomez is my opponent.”
Tomi Lahren, another conservative figure, also shared her thoughts, calling Selena’s video “something else.” She tweeted, “Certified moron Selena Gomez crying for criminal illegal aliens is really something else. This is why we don’t take our political advice from Disney child stars.”
Despite the overwhelming criticism, Selena also had her supporters. Many fans defended her, saying that she was simply showing compassion for those affected by harsh immigration laws.
Selena has yet to respond to the backlash, but her emotional video has certainly ignited a heated discussion online. Whether people agree with her or not, it’s clear that her message about immigration continues to stir strong opinions across the internet.
