Selena Gomez is facing backlash online after a moment from husband Benny Blanco’s podcast quickly went viral. In the clip, Gomez is seen leaning down to kiss Blanco’s bare feet during an episode of his show Friends Keep Secrets, prompting strong reactions from viewers across social media.
The moment appeared in the second episode of the podcast, where Gomez joined Blanco for a conversation. During the recording, she playfully kissed his feet while sitting beside him. However, many viewers focused on the fact that Blanco’s feet appeared dirty in the video, which led to a flood of negative comments online once the clip began circulating.
The footage spread rapidly across platforms like X and TikTok, with many users expressing discomfort or disbelief at the display. Some commenters described the moment as “gross” or “nasty,” while others questioned why the couple would include the interaction in a publicly released podcast episode.
The criticism intensified because Blanco had already faced jokes online about his appearance and hygiene following the first episode of his podcast. As a result, some viewers speculated that Gomez’s gesture may have been a playful way to support him after earlier criticism. Instead, the moment appeared to fuel even more debate among fans.
Despite the backlash, Gomez has consistently defended Blanco in public when he faces criticism. In the past, she has shared affectionate photos and messages about him on social media, signaling that she is comfortable showing their relationship openly even when fans react strongly.
As the clip continues to circulate online, reactions remain divided. While some viewers say the moment crossed the line for a public broadcast, others argue it was simply an example of the couple’s playful dynamic that was taken out of context once it went viral.
For now, neither Gomez nor Blanco has addressed the controversy directly. But the moment has once again highlighted how quickly even a small interaction can spark widespread debate when it involves one of pop culture’s most closely watched couples.
