Selena Gomez raises eyebrows due to her display of affection for her husband, Benny Blanco. While fans are supportive of their relationship, they are not on board with her kissing his dirty feet, as seen in the latest episode of his podcast.
The honeymoon phase for Gomez and her husband, music producer Blanco, involves a level of intimacy that many find difficult to stomach. While Gomez kissing Blanco's dirty feet may have appeared affectionate for the couple, the audience who saw it found it 'gross' and 'nasty.'
Why Fans Call Selena Gomez's Viral Foot Kiss 'Gross'
The backlash ignited following the release of the second episode of Blanco's podcast, 'Friends Keep Secrets'. During the recording, Gomez was filmed leaning down to kiss Blanco's bare feet, which appeared visibly soiled to viewers watching the digital clips.
Why Fans Reacted So Strongly
The reaction from the online community was swift and overwhelmingly negative, with the footage quickly circulating across X and TikTok. One user bluntly stated, 'this is disgusting,' while another echoed the sentiment, asking, 'why would she do this on camera... Selena, I love you so much, girl, but this ain't it.'
Critics have not held back, with some suggesting that the display is part of a bizarre public performance. A concerned fan remarked, 'Been avoiding this s*** on purpose, but GIRL, this has to be a humiliation ritual. Idgi... why are you kissing dirty a** feet no matter who it's attached to?'
The visual state of Blanco's feet was a primary point of contention because they appeared dirty. Blanco had made headlines following the debut episode of his podcast for the same reason, so Gomez's move could be a clap back to critics. However, it fired back, with some critics calling t them out for their eccentric lifestyle. One even said the celebrity couple was 'evil and dirty.'

Gomez's Consistent Defence of Blanco
This is not the first time Blanco's appearance has become a subject of public discussion. When he was first criticised over his feet, Gomez responded by sharing affectionate photographs of them, a signal fans noted of her loyalty rather than any aesthetic endorsement.
Her willingness to defend Blanco publicly has become a recurring feature of the couple's media presence. While some fans have expressed concern that Gomez has become more willing to court controversy since the marriage, others have interpreted her behaviour as a deliberate rejection of the polished image typically associated with her status as a global beauty entrepreneur.
Hygiene Hoax Debunked
As the debate over the couple's cleanliness intensified, several false claims began to circulate to capitalise on the outrage. One viral post alleged that Gomez publicly stated that Blanco changes his underwear only every seven days.
This claim was widely shared and treated as fact by many users who were already sceptical of the producer's hygiene. However, this has been thoroughly debunked as a fabricated post designed to stir further controversy.
Despite the lack of evidence for the underwear claim, the 'dirty feet' incident remains a documented reality that continues to divide her fanbase. Some fans believe the disgusting display of Blanco's dirty feet and Gomez seemingly tolerating it is a sign that she has changed for the worse since marrying Blanco. Others hope that the couple will keep their more eccentric displays of affection behind closed doors in the future.
For now, the internet remains divided on whether this is true love or a step too far in the name of relatability.
