Selena Gomez has been trending on social media once again for a few reasons. The actress and singer posted on social media, but it seems like people have a few opinions.<\/p>\n
The actress and singer had some thoughts on the current situation, but other people had an opinion on what this really meant\u2026<\/p>\n
Selena Gomez posted a video to her Instagram stories, which resulted in quite a lot of backlash for her. The video she posted was in response to the latest immigration policies implemented in the United States by the new administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll my people are getting attacked, the children. I don\u2019t understand. I\u2019m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can\u2019t,\u201d the 32-year-old singer said in the video with tears streaming down her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what to do. I\u2019ll try everything, I promise,\u201d she said. A lot of users are accusing Gomez of making the issue at hand about herself. One person wrote, \u201cshe\u2019s so annoying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSelena always finds a way to make it about her feelings. This isn\u2019t the time for performative tears, it\u2019s about real lives being affected,\u201d another person added. \u201cInstead of crying on camera, maybe Selena should use her platform to share resources, donate, or raise awareness in a more constructive way,\u201d another user added.<\/p>\n
But others thought the criticism was unfair. One person wrote, \u201cyall just hate it cuz it\u2019s selena girlie just cares.\u201d Another added similar sentiments, saying, \u201cOh so showing sympathy for your people is now termed as \u201cmaking things about myself\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n
But apparently, the backlash was so intense that Gomez promptly deleted her video and wrote a message on a plain black background, \u201cApparently it\u2019s not ok to show empathy for people.\u201d She then deleted that story as well. This is not the first time Gomez has posted an emotional video on her social media.<\/p>\n
The actress has talked about immigrants before, even sharing the emotional story of her family\u2019s immigration in a 2019 Netflix docuseries called Living Undocumented.<\/p>\n
The actress has in the past participated with many charities, including Unicef. She has also founded the Rare Impact Fund. The non-profit is dedicated to funding research for mental health-related initiatives.<\/p>\n
