Selena Gomez spent over a decade cultivating one of the most powerful images in pop culture: the beautiful, mysterious It Girl everyone wanted and nobody could quite have. From her high-profile romances to her carefully crafted public persona, Selena’s brand was built on desirability, fantasy, and aspiration.
But ever since her relationship with Benny Blanco became public, something has shifted.
From awkward podcast moments and oversharing to the infamous toe-kissing story and Taco Bell proposal, many fans feel like the Selena Gomez they once idolized has disappeared. Has Benny Blanco damaged Selena’s image, or has he simply exposed the reality behind the fantasy?
In this video, we’re diving into Selena Gomez’s evolution from Disney star to pop culture It Girl, her relationships with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, the public reaction to Benny Blanco, and why so many fans seem uncomfortable with this new chapter of her life.
Was Benny Blanco the problem—or did Selena Gomez willingly tear down the image she spent years building?

I’ve always loved your work, especially on Harry and Meghan but this one is your best work!!!! This could be a full documentary!!!
Timothy is not all over Kylie. He still only goes to his events. He never goes to anything that she wants to go to. They are never out with her kids, that whole PR relationship is a joke. Let’s not try and pretend like that’s a good relationship.
Now SM, we skipped a very huge list of things between her peak and Benny now didn’t we? She was nowhere near at her peak when she got with him.
I’m 100% sure they had several interventions about her marrying this guy. There’s no way in hell everyone didn’t reality check her. The thing is she’s not in reality.
i’m done with feeling sorry for her
Omg, she’s so desperate. I truly feel bad for her, going from it girl to desperate and over a male that looks like that, DAMN. She fell hard!
😢 very shallow video. She’s happy. That’s the point of life. Not everything is about looks. She’s a girl and a celebrity with mental health issues. A lot of celebs are messy. My life was messy but I’m not a celebrity so no one sees that
Benny acts like he’s 13. How can she stand it. Sorry, but my husband acted like an adult. He left the poop jokes in middle school.
Only people who don’t like Selena can thrive of what’s happening to her. She was looking for a husband, this is not the one, it can happen to any woman but cannot be a nother woman’s victory. At least, she hasn’t stolen another woman’s boyfriend, human mean girl cope with mean girl 🤭🤭
Selena’s mask slipped, Benny just accelerated it.
Humuliationship
You just hate brown people?
A video on Taylors obsession with sombr needs to be talked about
She was never it girl . She’s just not that attractive
I call it karma.
No he doesn’t treat her amazing
He’s always tearing her down 😢
Selena ironically has a lot in common with J Lo 😂
Why so much hate against Selena?
Great Video!!!
30:12 round of applause, another great video from our SM ladies 🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I dont understand her fame. Her acting and voice delivery is monotone and not believable.
Don’t kiss a man’s feet on video. Girl. No. For many people, the feet are the most dirty part of the body. In some countries, it’s an insult to point your feet at people (Thailand for example). Even if you’re not from any of those countries, we all know those feet look nasty.
How humiliating
Everyone has a bit of brokenness within them… Some just share their brokenness to the world, not realizing they're broken because society has normalized the issue at hand. I hope SG & all of these celebrities find the peace & the direction they need
And her audacity to say "you are so embarrassing" while her husband is biggest embarrassment. 😂😂
Her last album embarrassing
Desperate
Still longing for Justin 🤦♀️
