Fans did not mince their words when it came to shading Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s 2024 Emmys appearance. They took to X, formerly Twitter, to air out a torrent of their most unhinged, unfiltered opinions about the couple, with many suggesting that Blanco is way out of Gomez’s league.
“Sorry Benny looks like an out of work car sales man,” one wrote. “No way he shows up with a bath robe while she’s over here looking like a princess,” another tweeted. There are also some who still couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that Gomez and Blanco are indeed a couple. “The more I see Selena and Benny together, the less I understand,” a fan penned in a post, with another questioning: “Is she not embarrassed by him? Imagine being at a prestigious event, sitting alongside comedy legends, and you bring your boyfriend who looks like he just came out of the bar.”
Even with all these comments, it’s unlikely that the couple will let the public’s opinions ruffle their feathers, especially Gomez who has defended Blanco in the past. She previously told fans on Instagram that the producer is “my absolute everything in my heart” and that she’s at the “happiest” state she’s ever been. And you know what? Fine. If being with the producer is what makes her happy, then so be it. More power to her.
