Hollywood has just experienced a shocking moment when Selena Gomez – the gentle and friendly icon of America – suddenly got angry and acted harshly towards a paparazzi. According to a video that quickly spread on social networks, the singer – actress pointed straight at the photographer and screamed after being asked an “extremely cruel” question related to her private life.
The incident happened outside a luxury restaurant in Los Angeles, where Selena had just finished meeting friends. While preparing to get in the car, a paparazzi approached and asked a question that made everyone who heard it shiver. Many sources said that the question was related to her past love affair with Justin Bieber and rumors that Selena “still hasn’t gotten over him” – a topic she has always tried to avoid for many years.
Immediately after hearing the question, Selena stopped, turned around, looked angry and raised her finger straight at the lens. She shouted, her voice trembling with anger: “You have no right to ask me such things! I have overcome everything, please leave me alone!”
The moment was quickly recorded and spread at a dizzying speed. Within a few hours, the keyword “Selena snaps at paparazzi” climbed to the top of global trends on X (Twitter) and TikTok. Millions of fans simultaneously spoke up to defend their idol, saying that she had every reason to react so strongly.
One fan wrote: “Selena has suffered too much over the years. They keep bringing up the past and torturing her with insensitive questions. Who wouldn’t explode in that situation?”
Meanwhile, another commented: “She’s not a robot. She has feelings too. Paparazzi really went too far.”
However, there is still a small group of netizens who think Selena “overreacted”, saying that celebrities should learn to stay calm in front of the camera. However, most of the public sympathizes with the singer’s anger, because this is not the first time the media has “dug up” her past pain.
A source close to the singer revealed that Selena is going through a sensitive period mentally, due to pressure from work, social media and malicious comments. “She has tried to stay calm for a long time, but when someone deliberately pokes at old wounds, everything becomes too much to bear.”
What moved fans even more was that just a few hours after the incident, Selena posted a black and white photo on Instagram with a short caption: “Sometimes, silence is the only way to protect yourself.” The photo immediately received millions of likes and hundreds of thousands of encouraging comments.
This incident has sparked a debate about the boundaries between the press and the private lives of celebrities. Many media experts believe that today’s paparazzi have crossed the line, and actions like Selena’s are a “voice” of protest for many other artists who are suffering similarly.
Although Selena Gomez’s outburst has caused a stir in the media, to fans, it is not weakness – but the natural reaction of a truly tired person.
One thing is for sure: after this incident, the public will see Selena Gomez not only as “America’s sweet girl”, but also as a strong woman who dares to say “enough” when hurt for too long.
