Selena Gomez Faces Backlash for Helping a Homeless Man – Fans Rush to Her Defense

Selena Gomez Faces Backlash for Helping a Homeless Man – Fans Rush to Her Defense!

Selena Gomez recently sparked a debate online when she gave money to a homeless man. According to TMZ, the actress was out in New York City when she noticed the man and asked her bodyguard if he had any cash.

The bodyguard then handed the man $20 as Gomez told him, “Have a good meal.” The incident took place after Gomez had visited the restaurant Nobu Fifty-Seven and earlier promoted her upcoming film, Emilia Pérez, alongside her co-star Zoe Saldaña.

While some fans appreciated Gomez’s kindness, others were quick to criticize the amount she chose to give. Comments on TMZ’s post on X (formerly known as Twitter) expressed mixed reactions.

Some people commented, “So much money, and only $20?” and “That’s like a penny split into 100 parts for her.” Others wrote, “That’s all????” and “The girl is loaded, and that’s all she can spare? Damn.” These critics pointed out that, given Gomez’s wealth, $20 seemed like an insignificant amount.

However, many of her fans rushed to her defense, emphasizing that her gesture still mattered.

One fan commented, “For those who didn’t read, she asked her bodyguard for $20. She didn’t have cash on her, or she probably would’ve given more.”

Others pointed out that at least Gomez acknowledged the man and made an effort to help, unlike other celebrities who might have walked past without a second thought.

A fan wrote, “She’s a real angel 🥹 And those who criticize her for the small amount she gave him should know that at least Selena stopped to give him something.”

The incident highlighted a divide between fans who appreciated her thoughtfulness and those who felt she could have given more.

Despite the backlash from some, Gomez’s loyal supporters made it clear that they believed her heart was in the right place.
