It is worth mentioning that in the photo that Selena posted, there appears a Starbucks cup – a brand that is being condemned and boycotted by people because of the war in the Gaza Strip.

Immediately, Selena Gomez became the focus of harsh criticism from the online community.

Many people believe that Selena Gomez’s work not only supports America’s No. 1 coffee brand, but also helps Starbucks promote and regain sympathy from customers after sensitive actions related to politics.

The photo was immediately deleted by Selena Gomez, but many people promptly saved it and posted it on other social networking platforms.

Besides criticism, many fans also spoke up to defend Selena. They said that her actions were unintentional and that the female singer should not be judged.

Countering the idea that criticizing Selena is too harsh and unnecessary, an account reposted a controversial photo of Selena with a harsh criticism: “She deserves it all.” public hate. She can’t be that stupid!”, after which the user directly labeled the female singer and wanted to listen to her explanation, not just delete the post.

After receiving criticism, Selena officially clarified and apologized by responding to the above post. She wrote: “I really don’t know about Starbucks. Obviously I’m an idiot. I so sorry!”.

This is not the first time Selena Gomez has been criticized for her actions.
