Benny Blanco faces criticism over Selena Gomez relationship comments

Producer Benny Blanco is facing criticism from fans of Selena Gomez following comments made on his podcast, ‘Friends Keep Secrets’. While discussing the early stages of their relationship, Blanco recounted a late-night conversation where Gomez asked for clarity on their status before a trip to New York.

Blanco stated that when Gomez asked what they were, he initially replied that he did not know. He recalled the moment of realization by saying, ‘I realized that she was my girlfriend and I had no option.’

Social media users have reacted negatively to the anecdote, with some accusing Blanco of humiliating his wife by sharing the private exchange and using the phrase ‘no option’ to describe the start of their relationship.
