Folks, just when you thought Hollywood couldn’t get more out of touch, Selena Gomez steps in to prove us wrong. The “Only Murders in the Building” star posted a now-deleted Instagram video, breaking down in tears over the deportation of illegal immigrants under Trump’s second term. That’s right—this billionaire actress thought posting herself sobbing with a Mexican flag emoji would be the heartfelt moment we needed. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.
Let’s talk about this narcissistic stunt for a second. Selena, born in Texas, but calling illegal immigrants “my people,” decided to lament that “children are being attacked.” It’s a line so ridiculous that I had to double-check to make sure it wasn’t part of some Netflix drama she’s producing. But no, she was dead serious.
The Real Irony? Obama Deported More!
Here’s the kicker, folks. Selena is a huge Obama fan. Loves the guy. Probably has his face etched onto her $10,000 coffee mugs. But here’s the inconvenient truth she conveniently forgets: Obama holds the record for deportations—more than 3.2 million during his eight years in office. Where were the tears, Selena? Where were the heartfelt Instagram posts? Oh, that’s right—there weren’t any. Because it wasn’t trendy to cry about deportations back then.
Now that Trump is back in office doing what he said he’d do—enforce immigration laws—she suddenly has a breakdown. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
Selena’s Mansion of Hypocrisy
Selena, who owns more mansions than most of us have rooms in our houses, could literally house hundreds of illegal immigrants in her sprawling properties. But no, instead of doing something tangible, she chooses to cry into her camera and tell us how sorry she is. “I’ll try everything,” she said. Really, Selena? What about opening one of your Beverly Hills properties to the people you’re weeping for? You can host a barbecue in one of your Olympic-sized pools and call it “Sanctuary Sunday.”
But no, she deletes the video and replaces it with a passive-aggressive caption: “Apparently, it’s not okay to show empathy for people.” Oh, Selena. It’s not the empathy people have a problem with—it’s the performative narcissism.
Hollywood’s Disconnect From Reality
Let’s be real here: Selena Gomez is just the latest example of Hollywood’s complete detachment from reality. These people sit in their gated mansions, sipping imported matcha, and lecture the rest of us about morality. Meanwhile, they’re surrounded by private security guards to keep “her people” off their property.
And let’s not ignore the fact that these deportations targeted illegal immigrants charged with actual crimes. We’re talking child predators, drug dealers, and violent offenders. But Selena doesn’t mention that, does she? Nope. Instead, she paints a sob story about families being “attacked.” Maybe next time, she can produce a Netflix docu-series called Living Undocumented 2: The Hollywood Edition, starring herself as the clueless celebrity.
Where’s the Sympathy for Real Americans?
Charlie Kirk nailed it when he called out Selena for ignoring real victims. Where are the tears for the 100,000 Americans who died from fentanyl poisoning? Or the thousands of children trafficked across our border? What about American families who’ve lost loved ones to crimes committed by illegal immigrants? Selena is too busy starring in her own self-produced pity party to notice.
Final Thoughts
Selena Gomez’s tearful meltdown is the perfect example of everything wrong with Hollywood. It’s all performance, zero substance. Instead of actually helping, she uses her platform to virtue signal and score social media points. But here’s the truth, Selena: Real Americans are tired of the hypocrisy. We don’t need your tears; we need policies that protect this country and its citizens.
If Selena wants to show real empathy, maybe she can use her billions to fund shelters, food programs, or job training for immigrants. But until then, she should probably stick to acting—and leave politics to the adults.
