Selena Gomez’s recent Instagram meltdown—a tearful, snot-nosed plea for sympathy over President Trump’s immigration raids—was nothing short of a masterclass in performative virtue signaling. But behind the crocodile tears lies a far more troubling story: one of alleged blackmail, drug abuse, and a career teetering on the brink of collapse.
In the now-viral video, Gomez, whose paternal grandparents hail from Mexico, sobbed uncontrollably while lamenting the plight of her “people.” “I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t,” she whimpered. “I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise. My people are getting attacked.”
But who, exactly, are her “people”? Was she crying for the members of Tren de Aragua or MS-13, violent gangs terrorizing communities across the U.S.? Perhaps her tears were for Edgar De La Cruz-Manzo, a convicted child rapist and Mexican national recently arrested by ICE in Seattle? Or maybe Ethiopian national Yared Geremew Mekonnen, a convicted sex offender nabbed in New Orleans?
Let’s be clear: Trump’s immigration raids are targeting criminal illegal immigrants—individuals who have been shielded by sanctuary laws and allowed to wreak havoc on American communities. As former ICE Director Tom Homan told Megyn Kelly, these raids prioritize “public safety and national security threats.” With over 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions roaming our streets, these raids should be met with cheers, not tears.
But Gomez’s theatrics aren’t just about immigration. Insiders claim the pop star and actress is spiraling out of control, her life a chaotic mess of scandals, substance abuse, and career-threatening behavior. Friends say Gomez, who has allegedly been a regular at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous drug-fueled sex parties, is now being blackmailed to promote pro-illegal immigration rhetoric.
“She’s in way over her head,” one source close to Gomez revealed. “She’s being used as a pawn, and it’s destroying her.”
The stress is reportedly taking a toll on Gomez’s health. Friends say she’s experiencing rapid weight gain and is abusing sleeping pills and pseudoephedrine to cope. There are also whispers that her immigration status is under scrutiny, with fears that Trump himself is looking into deporting her.
Meanwhile, Gomez’s professional life is unraveling. Sources close to Steve Martin say he’s considering dropping her from the hit show Only Murders in the Building due to her erratic behavior and the lingering scandals that have turned her into a liability. “She’s become an embarrassment,” one insider said. “The network is fed up.”
Gomez’s tearful Instagram performance may have been intended to garner sympathy, but it only highlights how out of touch she is with the realities facing everyday Americans. While she cries for criminals, millions of U.S. citizens are dealing with the consequences of unchecked illegal immigration—overburdened schools, strained healthcare systems, and skyrocketing crime rates.
Gomez is a talented actress and singer, but her descent into Hollywood’s luxury belief bubble has left her disconnected from the struggles of ordinary people. Instead of weeping for convicted criminals, she should take a hard look in the mirror and address the chaos in her own life.
As for her career, Gomez might want to start packing her bags—both for her role on Only Murders in the Building and, if Trump has his way, for a one-way ticket out of the country.
