Who is Benny Blanco?

Benny Blanco is a prominent pop music producer and songwriter who has worked with many popular artists, including Selena Gomez. His successful career and collaborations with Gomez's ex-boyfriends have contributed to the backlash.

Blanco's work includes hit songs like Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger,' Justin Bieber's 'Lonely,' and Halsey's 'Eastside.' He is recognized as one of the most accomplished songwriter-producers in pop music.

Fans criticized Blanco's appearance and expressed their disappointment with Gomez's choice in a partner. Some fans speculated that the relationship was for marketing purposes or attributed Gomez's decision to low self-esteem.

Gomez's Response and Controversy

Despite being in the public eye for a long time, Gomez chose to engage with negative comments instead of ignoring them. This decision has fueled the controversy surrounding her relationship with Blanco.

Fans pointed out Gomez's previous comments about her ex Bieber and his partners, highlighting her apparent hypocrisy. The criticism extended beyond her relationship and focused on her past actions, political statements, and philanthropy.

One comment even drew attention to Gomez's silence on the war in Gaza, contrasting it with her involvement in other political issues. This brought forth further backlash and criticism of Gomez's overall behavior.

The backlash against Gomez has intensified, with some Twitter users expressing negative sentiments and sharing memes. This recent controversy has sparked further debates about Gomez's character and intentions.

Gomez's response to the backlash remains to be seen, but it's clear that her social media breaks are not as effective as they used to be in avoiding controversy.
