In December 2023, Selena Gomez dropped a bomb and revealed that she had a boyfriend and that she had not been single for quite some time.

There were several hints that Gomez was in a relationship, but many had not put the puzzle together. Then, she finally revealed on her Instagram stories that she is dating Benny Blanco.

She even posted a photo of her kissing him on her Instagram carousel. She has been defending her relationship with her new boyfriend ever since she revealed that they are dating.

She has commented things like, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” and “Lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”

However, many fans and followers of Gomez are not happy with her relationship — mainly because of the timing of the announcement. She had made an insensitive post about the ongoing Israel-Palestine war, and many claimed that she was a Zionist.

Now, netizens went into the rabbit hole and dug a lot of dirt on Blanco. A thread about him being homophobic and sexist has been going viral on Twitter.

His old tweets and comments have resurfaced, and fans are not happy with it. For instance, in the past, he made comments about supporting Israel, hinting that he is a Zionist as well. He has sexualized his dog and has been making sexist jokes as well.

He once tweeted, “i met a jew who never had a pickle this morning…. that just doesnt make sense. thats like meeting a prostitute whos never had sex. [sic]”

He has also made homophobic comments and used slurs. Many noted that Blanco is close with Scooter Braun, the one who stole Taylor Swift’s masters.

Swift could not buy her master back, which is why she has been re-recording all her albums and releasing them as Taylor’s Version. Gomez is best friends with Swift, and her saying Blanco is the best thing that ever happened in her life is not sitting well with Gomez’s fans and followers.

To make matters worse, Blanco is close with Justin Beiber, Gomez’s ex. The two often write songs together, and Blanco has spoken highly of Bieber.

The same cannot be said about Gomez. In the past, Blanco threw a lot of shade at her and even called her a “cookie-cutter pop artist.”

As a result, many called him sexist for disregarding Gomez, her mental health, and her discography. Since his sexist and homophobic statements went viral, he has been facing a lot of backlash from the netizens.

One Twitter user wrote, “Benny Blanco is truly disgusting,” while another noted, “Selena deserves better.”

Many noted how Gomez should break up with Blanco, not just because he was sexist and homophobic, but also how he dissed her in the past. Unfortunately, netizens realized that she might not break up with him because of these factors.

A Twitter user wrote, “Knowing Selena she will continue to lie to herself and date him.” Similarly, another user penned, “This isn’t the first instance of Selena supporting controversial figures. She has previously collaborated with and praised an individual accused of assault, and she also made donations to Israel.”

Gomez has been facing backlash as well due to various reasons, and her fans have called her out for being insensitive and zionist. One such fan wrote, “They really a match made in the gutter.”

At the time of writing, neither Gomez nor Blanco had addressed the backlash.

Social media star Bryce Hall has a new love in his life – and he’s not shy about showing it. The influencer is currently dating model and content creator Mikaela Lafuente, marking a fresh chapter in his very public dating history.

After months of speculation, Hall and Lafuente made their relationship official in early 2024, and since then, the pair have appeared inseparable, sharing romantic TikToks, traveling together, and even walking red carpets side by side.

Here’s everything to know about Mikaela Lafuente and her relationship with Bryce Hall.

His Relationship Timeline with Mikaela Lafuente

While Hall and Lafuente made things public in January 2024, their connection started much earlier. During an appearance on the Raw Talk podcast that same month, the couple revealed they first started chatting on Instagram back in 2022. However, due to Lafuente living outside Los Angeles, they didn’t pursue a serious relationship until two years later.

“She was always out of L.A.,” Hall explained, revealing that their early conversations didn’t evolve into a relationship until early 2024.

Hall made the first move by sending Lafuente a direct message with a simple “hey” and a pair of eye emojis. By late 2023, the duo had started appearing together online, most notably in October at a Halloween party, where they wore matching costumes.

Their red carpet debut came in February 2024 at the Bob Marley: One Love premiere in Los Angeles. That same month, they were spotted again at the People’s Choice Awards, wearing coordinated black-and-white outfits.

From vacations in Las Vegas, Argentina, Paris, Italy, and Australia to sweet TikTok moments, the couple has been giving fans a full look into their relationship.

Who Is Mikaela Lafuente?

Mikaela Lafuente, born June 8, 2002, is a model and social media influencer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She frequently celebrates her roots online, sharing TikToks in Argentina’s soccer jersey and referring to her homeland as “el mejor país del mundo” — “the best country in the world.”

Lafuente has built a large following across platforms. On TikTok, she boasts over 4 million followers, while her Instagram profile has over 1 million fans. Her content ranges from dance videos and lifestyle vlogs to travel diaries and couple content with Hall.

In addition to being an influencer, Lafuente is a professional model. In July 2023, she walked in the Evita X Elizabeth & Co. New York Swim Week show, showcasing her presence in the fashion industry.

The 23-year-old is also a travel lover. She has shared photos from recent trips to Australia’s Byron Bay, where she interacted with wildlife, and solo adventures to Europe — including Paris and Italy.

Hall’s Past Relationships

Bryce Hall’s dating life has often made headlines – and Mikaela Lafuente isn’t the first influencer he’s been romantically linked to.

In early 2024, Hall was rumored to be dating Lindsay Capuano, a model and OnlyFans creator. The pair shared multiple social media posts, including flirty comments and shared selfies, but never officially confirmed their status. The relationship appeared to fizzle out before the year’s end.

Before Capuano, Hall’s most high-profile relationship was with Addison Rae, one of TikTok’s biggest stars. The two dated on and off between 2020 and 2021, captivating fans with their on-screen chemistry and public breakups. Their split involved some drama, including cheating allegations and cryptic tweets, making it one of TikTok’s most talked-about breakups at the time.

Since then, Hall has kept his romantic life relatively low-key until now. With Lafuente, he seems to be embracing a more open and affectionate dynamic, posting frequent couple content and even poking fun at their relationship on TikTok.

In one clip from January 2025, Hall shared a video of them deciding between sushi and pizza using rock-paper-scissors, ending with Lafuente jokingly frustrated that his choice won. “Happy wife, happy life,” he captioned it.

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Sparks Right-Wing Backlash Ahead of Release

Published

on

James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman reboot is set to hit theaters on July 11, but the buzz leading up to the release has taken a political turn. In a recent interview, Gunn described Superman as “an immigrant’s immigrant,” reinforcing the character’s longstanding metaphor for hope, kindness, and the American dream. But this framing hasn’t sat well with everyone.

Right-wing commentators and political figures have criticized the film for what they perceive as a “woke” reinterpretation of the superhero. Among them, Fox News contributors and conservative commentators have taken aim at the film, calling it overly ideological. Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway even predicted it would “bomb worse than Snow White did,” referencing the poorly received Disney remake.

Despite the backlash, Gunn remains firm in his creative direction. “This film is for everyone,” he said, “and it’s about kindness—not politics.” His brother, actor Sean Gunn, also defended the vision, explaining that the film’s message aligns with Superman’s origins as an alien finding belonging on Earth—a narrative deeply rooted in immigration and acceptance.

Early screenings have reportedly received positive feedback, especially for David Corenswet’s performance as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane. Whether the film will rise above the political noise remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Gunn’s Superman is already a cultural flashpoint before its official release.
