Pop sensation Selena Gomez and her music producer fiancé, Benny Blanco, have found themselves at the centre of an unexpected online storm, all stemming from a seemingly innocent bowl of fruit.
The couple, who recently announced their engagement, triggered a wave of criticism after Gomez shared a short, playful video on her TikTok and Instagram stories. The clip featured Blanco enthusiastically presenting a bowl of blueberries to the camera with the caption, "The best time of the year."
Fan Fury and Baffled Reactions
The internet's response was swift and largely unimpressed. Followers and commentators flooded social media platforms, expressing everything from confusion to outright disapproval. Many labelled the post as "cringe," "random," and questioned the couple's judgement for sharing such mundane content.
One baffled user commented, "This is the content we get after the engagement announcement?" while another added, "It's giving… nothing." The video was widely perceived as a peculiar and underwhelming follow-up to their significant personal news.
A Pattern of Unconventional Posts
This is not the first time Gomez's social media activity with Blanco has raised eyebrows. Their online presence has become a topic of discussion among her dedicated fanbase, with some supporters growing increasingly concerned about the nature of their shared content.
The backlash highlights the intense scrutiny celebrity couples face, where even the most trivial post can be dissected and become a focal point for public opinion. The incident underscores the fine line stars walk when sharing glimpses of their personal lives with millions of followers.
