Selena Gomez is facing backlash after sharing a video on her Instagram where she was seen crying in response to the latest immigration policies issued by the United States’ current administration.
“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t,” the 32-year-old said.
“I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”
While the actress’ intentions and tears may have been genuine, the reaction on social media was far from supportive, with many users accusing Gomez of putting herself at the center of a situation that wasn’t about her.
