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.

Lily Allen ‘Happy to be Alive’ After Terrifying Car Accident: Singer’s Porsche Run Off Road by HGV
Lily Allen reveals she is “happy to be alive” after a terrifying car crash involving an HGV.
Pop icon and West End Girl singer Lily Allen has left fans stunned after revealing she was involved in a serious road collision in early January 2026. The singer took to Instagram to share photos of her damaged luxury Porsche, following a frightening encounter with a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV).
While the damage to her vehicle was significant, Allen reassured her followers that she escaped the ordeal physically unharmed—though her signature wit remains as sharp as ever.
“Happy to be Alive”: The Details of the Accident
Sharing the news with her millions of followers on January 19, 2026, Allen posted a series of images showcasing the aftermath of the crash. The photos revealed extensive scraping along the side of her Porsche and damage to the wheel arch, suggesting a side-swipe encounter at high speeds.
In her characteristically blunt style, Allen captioned the update:
“Could have done without an HGV running me off the road but other than that a relatively good start to 2026. Happy to be alive and to not be posting any photos taken in 2016.”
The “four-word update”—happy to be alive—quickly trended across social media, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding her comments section with messages of relief.
Shaking Off 2025: A Fresh Start for Lily
The accident comes at a pivotal moment for the 40-year-old artist. Following her high-profile separation from Stranger Things star David Harbour in early 2025 and her subsequent return to the music scene with the critically acclaimed album West End Girl in October, Allen has been vocal about her journey toward healing and sobriety.
Her mention of “not posting any photos taken in 2016” is a direct jab at the “10-Year Challenge” currently sweeping Instagram, where users compare their current selves to photos from a decade ago. For Lily, 2016 was a notoriously difficult year marked by personal struggles—and she clearly has no interest in looking back.
What’s Next for Lily Allen?
Despite the automotive setback, 2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for the star:
- UK Tour: Her “Lily Allen Performs West End Girl” tour is set to kick off in March 2026, with dates already sold out at the London Palladium.
- Festival Season: She is confirmed to headline several major European festivals, including Lollapalooza Berlin in July.
- Podcast Success: Her hit BBC podcast Miss Me? continues to dominate the charts as she remains one of the most unfiltered voices in British media.
