Shortly after Benny Blanco garnered the wrath of the internet with his barefoot appearance on the pilot episode of his Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Selena Gomez seemingly added fuel to the fire by kissing her husband’s feet during the episode of the show. Fans have been criticizing the move on various social media platforms like Instagram and X.
Selena Gomez kissing Benny Blanco’s feet has fans talking
The pilot episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast saw Benny Blanco receive backlash for having dirty feet and farting during the episode. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez invited more backlash with a move in the second episode.
Gomez appeared as a guest for the second episode of Blanco’s new podcast. Nearly an hour into the episode, Gomez, who was seated on the floor, bent down to kiss Benny Blanco’s feet, which he placed on a coffee table. Blanco appeared delighted by the gesture. “I liked that,” he said, “It made me feel good. I love you so much.”
Speaking to his co-host, Dave Burd aka Lil Dicky, Blanco added, “I try with every bone in my body not to be googly eyed with her.” He added, “I want to kiss her and jump her bones all the time, so to watch her just kiss my toe just really made my day.”
But what seemingly started as a shared moment of intimacy between the married couple soon invited severe backlash online.
“Doing all this just to make Justin Bieber jealous?” one user wrote in response to the clip posted by @RedMedia_us on X. Another user wrote, “Lol that foot is still dirty asf though, disgusting.. instead of kissing them she should wash those dirty feet.” Yet another person said, “How can I unsee this? Is this a humiliation ritual?”
The responses are also a result of the timing. Gomez’s gesture came shortly after Blanco’s feet became a source of intense debate after the pilot episode.
