Benny Blanco Slammed for His Sexist and Homophobic Comments

“They really a match made in the gutter.”

Published

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.

As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay. He was our rock and he’d reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it.”

She further added, “He was my world and I need time to be with friends and family. I have so many things I need to figure out but firstly, I need to grieve. I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else’s. Right now my priority is preserving everything he’s built and I don’t have any plans beyond that.”
