Selena Gomez Had Another Viral Moment Amidst The Diddy Brouhaha, But This One Was A Gaffe The Internet Has Latched Onto

by

As a long-time fan of both Selena Gomez and P. Diddy, I have to say that watching this unfold has been nothing short of surreal. It’s like a soap opera scripted by the universe itself, with twists and turns at every corner.

For several months, headlines have featured P. Diddy due to a series of events following the FBI’s raid on his residence in March 2024. This incident led to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering against him. Since then, various allegations such as explicit videos with ex-partner Cassie Ventura, reports of drug use, nudity, and sexual activity at his high-profile parties have been shared. To add to the controversy, over a thousand bottles of lubricant were discovered in his home. Given Diddy’s extensive network, numerous prominent celebrities, including his protege Justin Bieber and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, have found themselves in the limelight recently, whether they wanted it or not.

Previously, Gomez found herself in the spotlight following the re-emergence of remarks she made about Diddy confusing her for a “lady valet.” However, she once again grabbed attention related to Diddy over the weekend due to an unanticipated blunder at a charity event. At her Rare Impact Fund benefit, the actress and Rare Beauty founder inadvertently criticized several organizations, including the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services Foundation. Watch the incident unfold below, as captured by TMZ.

In the video, it’s evident that Gomez is diligently focusing on her pronunciation and delivering all important details in a structured manner, to avoid any major mistakes before an incident occurs. However, you can distinctly hear the audience’s reactions when the mistake happens. She briefly pauses, expresses apologies, and moves forward, but the error serves as a stark reminder of how deeply this case affects celebrities, even those only loosely connected to it.

Unfortunately for Gomez, the incident was caught on camera. At first, she apologized, saying “I really am sorry,” but reactions from fans on X and beyond have been varied. Some pointed out that she had correctly pronounced Didi earlier in her speech, while others shared memes with comments like “Oops!” or “She certainly knows how to create a stir.

An unintentional incident brought attention to an issue that is personally significant to the actress. Mental health has always been a significant concern for Gomez, and she has made efforts to be transparent about the topics she discusses publicly (including her high-profile wealth).

Additionally, she collaborates annually with Sephora, a retailer that stocks her Rare Beauty collection, and the earnings from these sales are donated to charities focusing on mental health issues.

P. Diddy and Selena Gomez only have a loose connection through Justin Bieber. The Only Murders in the Building actress dated the “Baby” singer between 2010 and 2018, with some off and on moments in that relationship. Meanwhile, while the Biebs was discovered by music producer Scooter Braun, it’s on record that he met Diddy through Usher and the rapper became a bit of a mentor to the then-burgeoning pop singer. It’s been alleged that Bieber has grown “anxious” about the connection in the time since the news broke. A PR expert has said maintaining “distance” is key.

People who are associated with Diddy, such as Nick Cannon, seem to be more forthcoming about their ties following the release of the raid news.
